Most of slopes in nature have three-dimensional characteristics, such as displacement field, sliding surface, and mechanical mechanisms. Slope monitoring should take the three-dimensional characteristics into consideration to make monitoring networks arranged reasonably. In this paper, the Lijiazhai high slope on Shi-Ji highway is taken as engineering prototype. A similarity material of high density, low elastic modulus, and low intensity is produced. The deformation and failure characteristics of the high slope under moderate, heavy, and Torrential rain are simulated. The results show that the deformation of Lijiazhai high slope has obvious three-dimensional features. On bases of the model test, operational guidance and advice for long-term monitoring are provided.
