Quantitative Risk Analysis of a Rainfall-Induced Complex Landslide in Wanzhou County, Three Gorges Reservoir, China
On 4 April 2013, a 1.5 million cubic meter landslide occurred in Sunjia Town, Wanzhou County, Three Gorges Reservoir, China. After initiation, the...

Numerical Simulation of Tsunami Coastal Amplitudes in the Pacific Coast of Mexico Based on Non-Uniform \(k^{-2}\) Slip Distributions
Three seismic gaps lie along the Pacific Coast of Mexico, the Tehuantepec, Guerrero, and Colima–Jalisco gaps. In the Tehuantepec seismic gap, there...

Sliding-Surface Liquefaction and Undrained Steady-State Shear-Strength
The sliding-surface liquefaction (SSL) is one of the most important concepts to understand and reduce rapid landslide disaster risk. SSL occurs even...
