Earthquake-Induced Landslides: Initiation and run-out analysis by considering vertical seismic loading, tension failure and the trampoline effect (Springer Natural Hazards)

This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method considering tension-shear failure mechanism, an improved rigorous dynamic sliding block method based on dynamic critical acceleration and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslide by considering trampoline effect, all of which offer higher accuracy and more convenience to landslide study. The book contains abundant illustrations, figures and tables, which make it appealing for readers to acquire pragmatic tools of landslide research. Read more... Abstract: This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method considering tension-shear failure mechanism, an improved rigorous dynamic sliding block method based on dynamic critical acceleration and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslide by considering trampoline effect, all of which offer higher accuracy and more convenience to landslide study. The book contains abundant illustrations, figures and tables, which make it appealing for readers to acquire pragmatic tools of landslide research This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an initiation study method that considers tension-shear failure mechanism; an improved, rigorous, dynamic sliding-block method based on dynamic critical acceleration; and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced landslides that takes account of the trampoline effect, all of which add to the accuracy and accessibility of landslide study. The book includes abundant illustrations, figures and tables, making it a valuable resource for those looking for practical landslide research tools.
