STUDY ON APPARENT SLIDING FORCE FOR SLOPE SLIDING mdash|AN EXAMPLE FROM THE LIANZIYA DANGEROUS ROCKMASS

A new concept of apparent sliding forcefor slope sliding is suggested and can be used for analysis of mechanism of soil or rockmass slides in this paper. It was applied to the Lianziya dangerous rockmass of the Three Gorges of Yangtze River. It is proved that this method is very useful to study of mechanism for slope sliding and improves its stability evaluation, engineering control program, and engineering arrangements.
