The stability of reservoir landslides is determined by the strength of the slide zone. Using both experimental and numerical techniques to analyze the strength of the slide zone has been widely used in the research of reservoir landslides. However, few models consider the strength of the coupling between seepage and shear.

Article Synopsis
  • Cyclic wetting and drying treatments accelerate the weakening of reservoir rock, affecting its strength and structure, though structure change is less frequently discussed.
  • The study uses uniaxial compressive tests, CT tests, and digital image correlation to analyze slate weakening in a reservoir area, finding that strength reduction is primarily due to structural changes rather than composition shifts.
  • Two main failure modes, splitting and splitting-tension, are identified based on the crack patterns, with implications for the stability evaluation of slate rock slopes in similar environments.
