The complex geolgical environment and geomorphologic features on the middle and lower reaches of Jinshajiang River are discussed. They are the well developed active structures, intense and frequent seismic activities, and seldom seen super high and steep slopes in hydroelectric project areas in the world, etc. In process and after the constructions of high dams and reservoirs with large storage capacity, some potential problems related to the slopes are analysed, such as high stress in the slope masses, seismic response and weakening of rockmass strength, reinforcement technique and cost, as well as the effect of flood discharge with high energy and large flow capacity on the slope stability, etc. Systematic pre study of these problems is very important for selection of dam site, lay out of engineering project, timelimit, cost and safety, etc. The complex geolgical environment and geomorphologic features on the middle and lower reaches of Jinshajiang River are discussed.

RelationshIp between landslides and neotectonism in reservoir area of Three-Gorges Project on Yangtze River were examined. The neotectonism exhibits well staged character reflecting in alternate crustal uplifting and relatively stable periods and alternate faulting and seismo-active periods.The sliding events of landslides are also staged and are well correlated with the neotectonic stages. The occurrence times of landslides coincide with neotectonic activity stages. From the results we can conclude that the neotectonic factor plays an important role in sliding of landslides in the Three-Gorges area. The seismo-active periodicity indicates that the neotectonism has entered into a quiet stage since 1980s. The internal factors for structural activities may be comparatively insignificant for the occurrence of landslides in a relatively long-term future. It is suggested that the human activity may be a main factor causing landslide to occur. This must be taken into adequate consideration in the reservoir area of the Three-Gorges Project on Yangtze River.

Based on the coupling mechanism of seepage field with displacement field, the effect of seepage on the displacement of high rock slope in a certain large boat gate project is studied in this paper. By use of finite element method, the seepage field and displacement field are calculated. The result shows that there is a significant effect of the seepage force on the stability of the rock slope.

A lot of facts from field investigations show that a time-dependent deformation of a high rock slope could occur before its instability. Accompanied with this process, a potential slIp surface develops gradually in the slope, and finally cut through due to progressive failure along it or some triggering factors. In this paper, the phenomena of time-dependent deformation of a slope on the left bank of Yalong River are described in detail. They reveal that the slope has experienced a long-term deformation and its mechanism can be considered as a slIp along the weak bed plane and buckling on the foot of the slope. Further evidence indicates that the deformation of the slope is quite light, since the slope is under a stable condition at present.

The acoustic emission (AE) behavior in the process of rock fracture is not only closely related to the rock types but also to the load and microfracture progress. Thus, AE wave spectrum obtained from loaded rock specimen contains a great amount of information concerning microfracture of rock.The microfracture mechanism of rock under compressive-shear loading is studied using wave-spectrum analysis in this paper. the relation between wave-specturm behavior at different loading stages and mechanical response of rock and critical crack propagation is discussed. The results show that wave-spectrum parameters are more sensitive to microfracture of rock than to load itself, which is quite significant for solving engineering problems, such as safty estimation and rock burst prediction in mining process and slope stability analysis in geological engineering.

Due to the random distribution of geotechnical data and the sliding surface, it is more significant to evaluate slope stability and to design a slope by random searching technique and failure probability method. In the paper, the lowest position of the most dangerous sliding surface and its dIp angle, as well as the load combination reflecting the maximum failure probability of the entrance high slope of Xiaolangdi Reservoir, Yellow River, China, are given by random searching technique and probability method. At the end of the paper, the author points out that design of a step slope with 1:0.2 gradient has an advantage over that of the vertical one. The results could also be provided as a scientific basis for determination of depth and width of slope reinforcement .

In a case study of Baota landslide in the reservoir area of Three-Gorges project, a conceptual model for ground water systems in large-scale landslide was established by integrating the studies of groundwater dynamic field, physical-chemical characteristics, environmental isotopes, and temperature of ground water in the landslide. This model includes recharge, seepage, discharge conditions of ground water varying with the environmental factors (e.g. rainfall, reservoir impounding, and artificial surface water recharge, etc.). This is one of the keys to predict the slope stability and to take countermeasures to controlling landslide.

In this paper, geological environment and geomorphological characteristics of geological hazards on Banyanshan mountain are introduced, and formation mechanism of the hazards is discussed. It is concluded that any large geological hazard will not occur, since the dangerous rock is in the late ereep stage and deformation tends to be stable. Therefore, the most important job is to control the landslide stability.

To understand characteristics of slope deformation of an open pit is very important for its stability evaluation, mining and slope deformation monitoring. However, it is difficult to predict due to the complicated mining conditions. In this paper, FLAC method is used to spatiotemporally analyze the characteristics of deformation of a stable slope and an unstable slope of an open pit, and the effects of excavated zones and multi-stage cutting on the slope deformation. The result indicates that FLAC is an effective method for analyzing the deformation of a slope either stable or unstble, and that excavated zones and mining velocity have some effects on the deformation.

There often exist several kinds of split planes in a slope. Could these planes delevop into sliding surface, it depends on several factors, for example, stress state, properties, shape and development density of the split planes, and so on. Through analysing these slide planes, stress,state, and cluster analysis, we determine several groups of the latent slide planes, then we classify and analyse these groups of split planes in slope. The primary method is that each sample of each group (split planes or latent slide planes) is regarded as one kind. According to distance or similar coefficient between the samples, we merge two kinds, which are more similar, into one kind, and calculate the distance of new kind to other kinds, and so on, finally, merge into a kind which we need, and determine one kind of split plane which may possibly develope into active sliding surface.

Shots and receivers are placed on the ground surface around the studied area ; the observation is performed by using conventional seismic method. The energy exited from sources arrives at receivers. The signals recorded are processed by tomographic inversion and a P-wawe velocity image is produced. The image shows velocity distributions in shallow layers and weathering deposits, as well as geological structure of bedrock. This technique was used in an engineering-geological survey. The velocity CT image obtained is coincident with geologic outcrops and excavation result.
