ABSTRACT: The problem of expansive soil landslide has long been a concern of geotechnical researchers. Basis of the characteristics of expansive soil landslides, the slide mechanism of the expansive soil slope is studied. And then the anti-slide pile is designed to improve the slope stability of expansive soils in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu province, China. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the anti-slide pile, the horizontal displacement of soils in both front and back of piles is monitored and studied. The results show that the anti-slide pile can keep the landslide stable effectively.

RÉSUMÉ: Le problème de glissement de terrain sol expansif a longtemps été une préoccupation des chercheurs géotechnique. Fonction des caractéristiques des glissements de terrain sol gonflant, le mécanisme de coulissement de la pente du sol est étudiée expansive. Et puis la pile anti-dérapant est conçu pour améliorer la stabilité de la pente des sols gonflants à Zhenjiang Ville, province du Jiangsu, en Chine. Afin d'évaluer l'efficacité de la pile anti-dérapant, le déplacement horizontal des sols à l'avant et l'arrière de piles est surveillée et étudiée. Les résultats montrent: la pile anti-dérapant peut garder le glissement de terrain stable efficacement.
