Due to the geographical location, geology, geomorphology, and climate, Kesba yer area undergoes mainly a special natural disaster related to landslides. In this paper an attempt has been made to present the findings of a study that has investigated the Doreghanlu landslide. A number of exploratory borings with the maximum dept of 30 m were sunk and undisturbed and disturbed soils were sampled and tested in this research. Considering the results of bore holes, it was found that the slip surface would be deeper than 15 m below ground level. The shear strength parameters from test results have been performed to analyze the landslide movement. The stability analyses were carried out using the modified Bishop method of slices.
