Abstract
A self-designed landslide physical model system was employed to conduct tests with arch support spacings of 5 cm, 7 cm, and 9 cm. The system utilized tensioned reinforcement bars for activation, while stress–strain data acquisition and high-resolution cameras monitored multi-dimensional deformation characteristics. Results indicate that under optimal arch spacing, the anti-sliding force stabilizes after reaching its peak. Cyclic formation and collapse of soil arches drive the transition from rapid sliding to creep sliding. Crack evolution exhibits stage-specific patterns: rear tensile cracks synchronize with peak anti-sliding force, whereas dynamic migration of shear cracks between support arches reveals a progressive failure sequence—rupture, peak, sub-instability, and instability. Post-peak residual strength remains high, but increased sliding mobility distinguishes static/dynamic sub-instability stages with reduced residual resistance. Displacement synchronization analysis demonstrates a strong correlation between anti-sliding force and displacement synergy coefficients, providing quantitative criteria for identifying sub-instability stages.
