The diferent Calculating Models and Calculating Methods should be adopted for the stability analysis of expansive geotechnical slope according to diferent fissure distribution and quantity. The expansive force also must be taken account. Three calculating model and calculating method are put forward for all types of expansive geotechnical slope in this paper: the layer sliding model and the dynamic limiting equilibrium method which considers the factors of swells when wet and cracks when dry and traction-type failure of expansive rock and soil; the continuous medium model with few cracks and fissures and the finite element method which simulates the fissures developing process and have constitutive equation of unsaturated soil; the block system model and the discontinuous deformation analysis which considers the expansive force. The discontinuous deformation analysis of block system model and its application example are mailly introduced here.
