There are a series of gentle Piedmont slopes with a unique special stratigraphic structure in Ningzhen area of China, which manifest as clay on the surface and the underlying being primarily gravel, exhibiting a binary structure similar to fluvial facies. The number of landslides has increased significantly on gentle Piedmont slopes in this area in recent years due to an increase in extreme rainfall events. Medium to large creeping landslides are dominant, and the sliding surface is between the clay and gravel layers. The main reason is the formation of a water cushion effect due to the unique stratigraphic structure. In this paper, based on previous research, we conducted a model test to verify the influence of the water cushion effect on gentle Piedmont slopes. Meanwhile, we derived a stability equation based on the static equilibrium for gentle Piedmont slopes under three conditions and proposed two methods to derive an early warning value of the pressure head. The rationality of the early warning value was verified by comparing it with measurements. The research results provide important theoretical and technical guidance for early warning and prediction of landslides on gentle Piedmont slopes
