A strong earthquake of magnitude 8 in Richter scale, occurred in Sichuan Province, China on 12 May 2008, triggered about 257 landslide dams. The erodibility of fresh landslide deposits plays an important role in evaluating the initiation and development of breaching of such landslide dams. In this research, field jet index tests were conducted shortly after the earthquake at 27 locations on the Hongshihe...
The Yudonghe landslide is located in a upcoming reservoir region of a 233-m-high Shuibuya rockfill dam, 2,300 m away from the dam site. It consists of a massive landslide with upper and lower segments and two secondary slides, i.e. an eastern secondary slide and a western secondary slide. In this paper, values of factor of safety (FS) for various masses were calculated in a scenario of reservoir impounding-induced...
