Abstract
In order to mitigate the landslide hazard induced by the earthquake, the evaluation of the possible affected area is required. Typically, the landslide affected area involved both the sliding area and the run-out distance of the sliding mass. To understand the run-out behavior of the earthquake-induced landslide, a two-stage numerical model was developed in this study to simulate the sliding behavior of the sliding body, and to estimate the potentially affected area. A commercially available program FLAC was used, and the field cases induced by the Chi-Chi Earthquake were used for the study.
