Abstract:Up to now, 1,203 landslides have been researched in Yangtze River Valley. Most of them distribute along with the up reaches of Yangtzi River on the western part of this valley in large scale and great number. The others are in the middle part of the valley, the major scales are small to middle, but on the slopes of the two banks of Yangtzi River in the section between Fuling and Nanjunguan, the large and the largest landslides with a purt of volume over thousands cubic meter are distributed. The eastern part is with fewer landslides, its major scales is in 10 to 100 thousands cubic meters. All of those mentioned above is from neotectonic action, stability of rock, shape of slope, rainfall intensity, the side erosion of river and the human activities. As the economy and engineering activity is increasing, the landslide event is tending to develop sharply.
