The Tanjiping landslide is situated in the layout zone of Badong City in Three Corges Reserviorarea. The Yanjiang highway in the new town passes through the landslide

which influences severely thenavigation safety of Changjiang. In order to control the landslide systematically

stabilization measures aretaken at altitude of 9. 1m based on comprehensive evaluation of engineering geological conditions. Thestudy result shows that the safety factor of the landslide is rather small and will be at the critical state ifthe reservior water level draws down from 175 m to 145 m or rainstorm and earthqnake of intensity Ⅵoccur while the reservior water level is at 175 m. Therefore the landslide must be controlled systematicallyand comprehensively so that the disater caused by landslide deformation and destruction could beprevented. As for the Tanjiaping landslide

the stabilization work should be focused on the middle andfront part of the landslide controlling not only the creep of the whole slide mass but toppling of groundsurface. According to this principle the feasibilites of serveral stabilization measures are compared

thenslide-resistant piles of large sectional size including cantilever piles and anchoring piles are used

accompanied by retaining walls and drainage system of landslide interior. Results show that the measure iseconomically reasonable and convenient for construction.
