According to the features of geologic research for landslide
the NURBS-BRep hybrid data structure was put forward to meet the needs of 3-D landslide geological modeling. Then
the corresponding constructional model of geological structural blocks was established. Based on these techniques
a set of integrated 3-D modeling method was advanced for landslide geologic bodies. It included four sections: the pretreatment for basic geological data of landslide
the 3-D modeling of landslide digital terrain and sliding surface
the system construction of geological structural surfaces
the generation and representation of geological structural bodies. This method was applied to a landslide in reservoir area successfully. Based on the established actual 3-D landslide geological model
a series of practical visual analyses proceeded. They contained arbitrary 3-D section analysis
digital drill
contour lines generation
automatic subdivision of slide blocks
visual dynamic simulation of landslide instability and accurate volume computation of landslide mass. These results can offer powerful supports to exact calculation and objective evaluation of landslide stability.
