Take the reservoir landslide as an example, in addition to hydrological conditions, creep properties of soils play an important role in explaining the mechanisms behind landslide movement. Although the change of this deformation over time is small, the long-term accumulation will also bring new hidden danger to the safety control of the slope. This paper takes the shallow coarse-grained soils of Qiaotoubei landslide as the research interest, improves the test method for the deficiency of not allowing the lateral deformation of the specimen in the traditional one-dimensional compression creep test, and conducts the compression creep test of coarse-grained soils by using the modified high-pressure consolidation instrument. Based on this test data, the creep property of coarse-grained soils is analyzed and a suitable creep constitutive model is selected, that is generalized Kelvin model. Then, relevant parameters are determined and FLAC3D software is used to simulate the creep deformation of the slope deposits and the stress and deformation of the lattice beams. Finally, the coupling mechanism between coarse-grained soils creep and lattice structure was analyzed based on the comparison of the calculated results with the deformation or damage in the field. Through this study, some targeted suggestions and directions for future research are proposed for the management of reservoir deposit landslides, hoping to contribute to the operational safety of the reservoir.
