We further concluded the research progress of river bank collapse from aspects of numerical simulation and generalized model test. Furthermore, we analyzed and discussed the deficiencies of current research on the mechanism of river bank collapse. Such deficiencies are: factors are not considered comprehensively enough; numerical technologies lack perfection; and the accuracy of generalized model needs to be improved. Last but not the least, we put forward the key points and suggestions for future research work. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20200518
