The mode of slipping along the eastern segment of altun fault zone is analyzed through both macroscopic investigation and microscopic study. The results show that:(1) the eastern segment of Altun fault zone consists of en echelon subsidiary faults.It seems that creep slip will easily occur along the segment, where the angle between the subsidiary faults is less than 15;(2) strong preferred orientation, augen structure, and small shear angle developed within the fault materials are the indications of creep slip along the eastern segment of Altun fault zone;(3) scanning electron micoscopic observation of quartz grains from the fault gouge has revealed that the recent movement along the eartern segment of the Altun fault since Q 3 is dominated by creep slip, but the intensity of slip is variable at different positions of the segment.The mode of movement along the eastern segment of the Altun fault zone was dominated mainly by creep slip, and the intensity of creep slip increases toward the east.

Investigation, identification and evaluation of the large scale loose deposits sediments at the relocation sites of Wushan County on the Three Gorges are discussed . A large number of the excavated sections show a complex accumulation of the sediments formed by tectonic process and karstification, and reveal a sliding zone between the loose deposit and bed rock. The sediments consist of landslidemass, rockfall,debris,karst collapse mass, etc. The thickness of the sediments determined by high resolution shallow seismic detection is 40m to 60m and can be divided into three wave velocity layers. A comprehensive conceptul model is set up and UDEC method is applied to simulated it. The formation and evolution process of the loose sediments can be divided into four stages geologic energy accumulation, fault system formation, rebound deformation and unload fracture, and epigenic reworking. Karstification is important to control the whole process.

Shishuojie landslide is located on the right bank of bayou of lower reaches of Tuojiang River. Its volume is about 10.3210 4m 3. The main factors for the formation of the landslide are the periodic soaking washing of silt clay in the slope by river and artificial loading production and living activities. The mechanism for the landslide ouucrrence appears to be composite draught and push. The process of slide can be divided into three stages: the reduction of clay strength in slip zone, and the shifting of landslide baby composite stress from back to front, and integer slide. According to the groundwater regime, a statics model is set up to estimate the landslide stability. In control on the landslide we must conside not only the stability of landslide but also the safe operation of buildings and then take the measures against the main factors.

According to a conservative estimation, the solid waste (red mud) in aluminium industry discarded in China is at least 5 million tons every year. As the red mud is serious harmly to the ecological environment, the safety of red mud dams and red mud reservoirs becomes much concerned environmental problem. The storage, disposition, and application of various solid waste, including demestic waste, are not only the important tasks of modern environmental science but also the most important and urgent research subjects of Environmental Engineering Geology and Environmental Geotechnology. Using relevant theories and methods of Rock and Soil Engineering Science, the chemical properties mineral composition and the unfavorable engineering properties of red mud and their formation mechanism are systematically studied in the paper.On this basis, the authors suggest the principles and approaches to store, consolidate (dispose),and comprehensively utilize red mud.

Displacement and deformation of surrounding rockmass of mining works can be caused by excavation in mine. If rock mass is effected by different excavations jointly, the stress of rockmass is influenced by all kinds of factors. In this paper an experimental method of friction model of bottom surface is used to study the mechanism for dynamic slide and deformation regularities of rockmass under firstly underground mining and then open pitting, so as to provide a scientific basis for design of continous mining and for dynamic analysis of slope rockmass.
