Abstract:
... Large-scale landslide dams triggered by earthquakes or rainfall can cause disasters due to inundation upstream and outburst floods downstream after dam failure. Landslide dams formed by rock/debris avalanches are loose in structure and have a lack of stability; thus they are more susceptible to breaking. The morphological and structural features of landslide dams directly depend on the formation p ...
