Abstract
Through working on the classification of the reservoir bank slopes and their deformation mechanism, failure conditions, countermeasure on various types of slope failures, stability analysis and assessment of the bank slopes and large landslides, and monitoring and forecasting, this chapter summarizes the bank slope stability evaluation for the purpose of Three Gorges reservoir dam construction. The exploration and research methods for the evaluation of bank slope stability before the dam construction can be found in this chapter.
