Abstract

The world in the 21st Century faces increased hazards of gigantic earthquakes and heavy rains as compared with the previous century. Under this circumstance, coseismic landslide is one of the important topics in geotechnical earthquake engineering and is promoted by the increased precipitation both before and after the gigantic earthquakes. This paper sheds light on this topic, paying attention not only to the effects of strong shaking but also to the important role played by faults, which are either active or inactive. The fault action consists of the rock fissures along the fault and possible water ejection from the fault plane. The rock fissures made by the fault dislocation cause the long-term instability of mountains slopes for years or for centuries after strong shaking.
