Through investigation and analysis of geological conditions and mechanical parameters of the Taziping landslide, the finite volume method was adopted, and, the rheological model was adopted to simulate the landslide and avalanche entire mass movement process. The present paper adopted the GIS platform to simulate the mass movement process before and after treatment. This paper also provided the conditions and characteristic parameters of soil deposits (thickness, speed, and stresses) during the landslide mass movement process and mapped the 3D division of hazard zones before and after landslide treatment. Results indicated that the scope of hazard zones contracted after engineering treatment of the landslide. The extent of high-hazard zones was reduced by about 2/3 of the area before treatment, and characteristic parameters of the mass movement process after treatment decreased to 1/3 of those before treatment. Despite engineering treatment, the Taziping landslide still poses significant hazard to nearby settlements. Therefore, we propose that houses located in high-hazard zones be relocated or reinforced for protection.
