DISCUSSION ON THE SLOPE STABILITY OF RESERVOIRS

During the process of water storing, the rising of water level in reservoirs will cause the change of hydrogeologic environment and then lead to the breakage of natural balance of slopes. Complicated physical and chemical actions take place between the rock-soil mass and underwater. Such effects differentiate the reservoir bank slopes from others. Based on the characters of reservoir bank slope, the shapes of failure forms, mechanism of the slope-collapse and methods of forecast are discussed in this paper.
