Abstract：The current researches for the stability analysis of rock slopes under seismic loading are systemically discussed in domestic and abroad. The pseudostatic method，Newmark method，numerical simulation and method of comprehensive evaluation combined with post-seismic-hazards survey，theoretical and experimental research，probability analysis，reliability mathematics，engineering geology analysis，and other methods are included. Meanwhile，the application and property of those methods are summarized. The main contents，the existing problems，and the research direction are proposed to give some suggestions for the further studies.
