摘要
Identification of landsliding-surface is the crucial problem of landslide investigation and research. It is also important for landslide stability and construction design. The basic type of landsliding-surface is categorized to rock surface, sediment surface, and soil surface. The geological characters of landsliding-surface can be classified as smooth friction surface, striation, mudding zone and diamond shearing wedge with directional range. Based on this classification, it is generated that the main methods for landsliding-surface identification contains mechanical analysis, field geology judgment, site exploration, displacement monitoring and geophysical detection. Applicability of these methods is also discussed in the paper.
