The invention provides a device and a method for actively promoting landslide collapse. The method comprises the steps that a loosening agent is sprayed to a to-be-slide mass to loosen the soil texture of the mass, hinges provided with self-expansion bag bodies are placed at the positions of slide blocking keys, and extensible double-layer floral tubes are arranged in the horizontal direction of alandslide belt; each bag body is of a double-layer structure, wherein an expanding agent or gas is placed in the inner layer, and the outer layer is filled with lubricating substances; and repeated expansion is conducted, so that a gap is generated between the to-be-landslide mass and a landslide bed, the pressure in the bag bodies is increased, and the lubricating substances enter the landslidebelt. Meanwhile, magnetic fluid mixed with the lubricating substances is arranged at the position of a backup pull fracture belt, the magnetic fluid is guided in a graded mode to be fully distributedon the landslide belt, and the landslide mass is promoted to slide away from the landslide bed through the combined effect. The problems that manpower and material resources are wasted, and normal operation of traffic transportation and construction operation is affected due to long-term monitoring of the to-be-landslide mass are solved. The device and the method have the advantages that feasibility is high, manpower and material resources are saved, and personnel injuries are reduced.
