Abstract

In this lecture, the author will share his experience in investigating several earthquake-induced landslides that occurred in Japan, Indonesia, and China, and discuss the mechanisms of slope failures and contributing factors. This work will present data from reconnaissance field surveys conducted at landslide sites and analysis of geological conditions related to slope instability. It will also discuss the results from a series of laboratory tests performed on soil specimens subjected to various loading modes and issues that may occur during investigations. This lecture will be of interest to researchers in the field of soil dynamics as well as engineers and decision-makers who are interested in the causes and mechanisms of earthquake-triggered landslides.
