| Summary: | Sliding zone dynamics in the Qinling-Daba mountain area under different dynamic parameters have not been studied extensively. In this study, we investigated the dynamic behavior of the sliding zones of a high-steep rock landslide in the Qinling-Daba mountain area under the influence of dynamic stress amplitude and frequency and proposed an empirical model of the dynamic constitutive relationship. The dynamic behavior was studied based on a cyclic triaxial test system. The results indicated that an increase in the dynamic stress amplitude decreased the dynamic elastic modulus linearly, increased the damping ratio, and increased the axial strain exponentially. Among these properties, the elastic strain was found to be more sensitive to the increase in the dynamic stress amplitude than the plastic strain. As the loading frequency increased, the dynamic elastic modulus increased, whereas the damping ratio decreased. Furthermore, the proposed empirical model of the dynamic constitutive relationship between the vibration number and loading frequency based on the dynamic elastic modulus could satisfactorily describe the dynamic stress-strain relationships of the samples from test stability and failure zones. These findings are expected to make a significant contribution toward further revealing the sliding mechanism of such landslides.
