Abstract
This paper analyzes the typical landslides caused by pipeline construction and the characteristics of landslides during the construction period, and assesses the risk to the long gas and oil pipeline project in China caused by landslides during its construction. Using the semiquantitative risk assessment method and introducing the concept of risk degree, according to the assessment of risk and vulnerability, a landslide disaster risk assessing index system was established after summarizing the causative disaster factors of the landslide disasters induced by the construction of the China-Myanmar pipeline project. Three typical disaster points induced by pipeline construction were chosen to make a risk grade evaluation. The results of site reviews show the evaluation results coincide with the actual situation. Thus, semiquantitative evaluation methods can be used as a reference to guide the landslide disasters developed portion of pipeline construction risk control.
