Abstract:Landslide is one of the most common disasters in transmission lines and has serious harmfulness. In order to study the harm of landslides to transmission lines and its prevention and control measures, firstly the landslide inducing factors of transmission lines are analyzed, which are mainly divided into natural factors and human factors. Then according to the practical engineering experiences, the adverse effect of landslide disaster to transmission towers and foundations is described respectively, and the engineering measures in transmission line design to prevent landslide disaster are summarized. Finally, several common landslide treatment methods in transmission line engineering such as the anti-slide pile and pile retaining wall, anchor rod (rope) lattice beam, gravity retaining wall and micro pile etc, are introduced. The research results will provide experiences for the prevention and treatment of landslide disaster in transmission lines in the future.
