Sandaogou Landslide is the on-bank (front) part of a large ancient landslide located in the new urban aera of Badong County. First cracks appeared in June, 1995, and progressively developed for 4 months. Then the ground failed and the lanslide took place on 29th of Oct. With a volume of 200, 000 m3. Thanks to correct prediction and in time mitigation measures taken by the local government, the damages caused by this slide were reduced to minimum.The principal factors for the ground deformation and slide are the steep relief on the front of the ancient landslide, very loose landslide deposits with low strength,and river erosion of the southern bank associated with narrowing of the river channel caused by accumulation of fluvial sediments on the opposite bank at Zhajiaoji on the Yangtze River. The triggering factors are rainfall, fluctuating water level, artificial waste loads on the slope from new urban area, dynamic loads, and changing hydrogeological conditions, which resulted in further lowering of mechanical strength of the ground mass and hence led the slope being in a critical state to fail.

In the process of 3-D net work Modelling of discontinuities, the size of discontinuities is an important parameter. This parameter is mainly come from measuring the trace length in-situ. Sampling errors can occur due to the bias, these errors need to be corrected for the estimation of mean trace length. The method introduced here takes sampling errors into account by probability theory and through the traces data from finite 2D window transfor to trace length in infinite 2-D space. By means of computer, it is easy to estimate the mean trace legnth.

This paper deals with the problems of quantitative predication of location of interbed shear zone in perpenticular direction findings in theory. In the beginning, the mechanism is studied further and new classification is proposed; The concept of scale is introduced; The exteral and interal factors effecting on the location of shear zoner and how to take them into consideration are discussed. Then, two models are developed to quantitatively describe the charactertics of alternate hard-soft layersand to predict the position of shear zones within different elements. Finally, a systematic methodiology on the quantitative prediction of loaction of shear zones in the perpendicular direction is proposed. It was used in predicition of shear zones in Gao BaZhuo dam site.

Cohesive soil contains much free ferric oxide, especially in laterite. The engineering geological properties of cohesive soil(laterite) are influenced by free ferric oxide content in it. In this paper, the author studys this problems by experiment. The main result is as follows:(1) Cohesive strength of cohesive soil (laterite) increased with increasing of free ferric oxide content. The cohesive force(C)and friction angle () are correlated with free ferric oxide content (FC). The correlation factor between C and FC is 0.78,and between and FC is 0.72. The compaction dry unit weight decreased with increasing free ferric oxide content (r=0.94). The relation between free expansion ratio and FC is negative correlation (r=0. 83). (2) The relations between plastic limit (Wp) and shrinkage limit (Ws) with FC are direct correlation (Wp-FC:r= 0. 901 Ws-FC:r=0.88).(3)The correlations between shrinkage ratio(Es) and shrinkage index (Is )wkh FC are not clear, but with increasing FC, their general trend is to reducte. (4)The liquid limit(WL) and plastic index (Ip ) are not correlated with FC (WL-FC: r=0.34 IP -FC: r=0.51). If making a concrete analysis of each group of soil samples,the result is not alike. Perphs the different form of free ferric oxide leads to this abnormal phenomena.

The portland cement as a consolidating agent for increasing the strength of Soft cohesive ground and decreasing its deformation, already is widespread used in construction in the coastal area. Usually using dry powder mixing methed or deep bed stirring method for mixing portland cement into soft cohesive ground and reacting physico-chemically, we can get reinforce effect.This research project is supported by Jiangsu Province Science and Technology Foundation (Grant No. 91246). A comparative test for the cement soil samples in laboratory and in-situ, and macroscopic and microscopic analizes made us to the mechanism of reinforcing the soft cohesive ground with portland cement. A proposal on increasing the strength of soft cohesive ground, and economizing portland cement is putted forward.
