Abstract
A centrifuge model is designed based on a representative section of China Shenzhen Xiaping Landfill, to simulate its landslide in June 2008, due to the high water level of leachate. The model waste material is introduced in this paper for simulating the real waste material. A water tank was set up inside the model container to control the water level inside the model. Model was tested at centrifuge acceleration of 90g and the result shows that large horizontal deformation and tension cracks appeared on the model slope, although there was no extensive sliding failure observed.
