Abstract: The geological and environmental conditions in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area are complicated. Many variables could affect the slope stabilities. Based on the engineering geology conditions, geotechnical investigation data, main factors that may potentially contribute to the slope instabilities are identified. Analytical results indicate that the slopes are often at the critical creeping state after the heavy precipitations. Mitigation methods are proposed based on the analytical results.
