This open access book takes the common bedding rock slopes in engineering practice of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area as the research object. The book adopts a research system of in-site investigation, equipment development, experimental exploration, theoretical construction and numerical development, with detailed information, rich content and evidence-based arguments. The relevant research achievements can lay a theoretical foundation and provide scientific basis for solving the key scientific problems behind the prevention and control technologies of the disasters of the bedding rock slopes. Researchers and engineers in the field of slope engineering and seismic engineering can benefit from the book.
