Landslides frequently occurred in Jurassic red strata in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) region in China. The Jurassic strata consist of low mechanical strength and poor permeability of weak silty mudstone layer, which may cause slope instability during rainfall. In order to understand the strength behavior of Jurassic silty mudstone shear zone, the so-called Shizibao landslide located in Guojiaba Town, Zigui County, Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China is selected as a case study. The shear strength of the silty mudstone shear zone is strongly influenced by both the water content and the normal stress. Therefore, a series of drained ring shear tests were carried out by varying the water contents (7%, 12%, 17%, and 20%, respectively) and normal stresses (200, 300, 400, and 500 kPa, respectively). The result revealed that the residual friction coefficient and residual friction angle were power function relationships with water content and normal stress. The peak cohesion of the silty mudstone slip zone increased with water content to a certain limit, above which the cohesion decreased. In contrast, the residual cohesion showed the opposite trend, indicating the cohesion recovery above a certain limit of water content. However, both the peak and residual friction angle of the silty mudstone slip zone were observed to decrease steadily with increased water content. Furthermore, the macroscopic morphological features of the shear surface showed that the sliding failure was developed under high normal stress at low water content, while discontinuous sliding surface and soil extrusion were occurred when the water content increased to a saturated degree. The localized liquefaction developed by excess pore water pressure reduced the frictional force within the shear zone. Finally, the combined effects of the slope excavation and precipitation ultimately lead to the failure of the silty mudstone slope; however, continuous rainfall is the main factor triggering sliding.
