Abstract

This chapter presents a case study to verify the proposed new methods from slope stability analysis to landslide run-out analysis. The Daguangbao landslide, the largest scale landslide induced by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, is analyzed using a numerical simulation program DDA as well as FLAC3D. The results show that the vertical component of seismic loading may play an important role in both stability analysis and run-out analysis, as larger tension failure and trampoline effects may be induced by the vertical seismic force, which has generally been ignored up to now.
