Abstract: The landslides along the reservoir banks are very common in the Three Gorges area and current studies on these slides are not comprehensive. The long term stability of a typical colluvial reservoir bank profile is studies using two reservoir bank reconstruction methods: Kachugin Method and Bank Slope Prediction Method. The shear strength parameters of the target profile slope were evaluated by the strength reduction method based on the creep theory. The stability of the current bank and the reconstructed bank are also compared.

Key words: Reservoir Bank Slide, Reservoir Bank Reconstruction, Long Term Strength, LongTerm Stability
