The Zhongjia landslide in Ruichang City is a typical artificial slope cutting geological disaster induced by rainfall.Based on the investigation of the characteristics of the Zhongjia landslide,this article analyzed the formation conditions of the landslide,including topography,geotechnical properties,artificial slope cutting and rainfall factors,determined the formation mechanism of the landslide,and evaluated the stability of the landslide hidden danger under two different working conditions:the landslide is relatively stable under the self-gravity working conditions,and it is unstable under the rainstorm working condition.
