In this paper, a modified finite difference model is proposed to simulate the propagation of flowslides. Modifications of the new model are conducted by calculating the lateral pressure coefficient k in the sliding mass and the entrainment and centrifugal effect during the transport process. The strength parameters are modified based on the size of the entrainment to consider the change in the landslide strength due to material mixing. Two dam break problems are simulated to test the accuracy and stability of the numerical scheme, and the results show good agreement with the analytical solutions and the measured data. Then, the model is used to analyze a typical flowslide: the Dagou landslide in Gansu Province, China. The model can accurately predict the details of the motion of the landslide, especially behaviors such as turning along the meandering gully and thrusting on the gully slopes due to centrifugal force.

Summary: An improved model was proposed to study the influence of bed deposition phenomenon in flow-like landslides. The results showed that bed deposition dissipates part of the kinetic energy of the landslide, while reducing friction energy dissipation, contributing to its high mobility.

Discussions on the transformation conditions of Wangcang landslide-induced debris flow

Jian Guo, Jiao Wang, Yao Li, Shujian Yi

Summary: The landslide-induced debris flow in Wangcang County, Sichuan Province on August 14, 2020, resulted in three deaths and two destroyed houses. Factors such as continuous rainfall, interbedded marlstone with structural planes, and changes in slope gradient contributed to the disaster. The study findings may serve as a reference for future research on geohazard chains.

Summary: This study introduces a deep learning framework that considers the source area feature of earthquake-induced landslides (EQIL) for spatial prediction. By using high-resolution remote sensing images and DEM to extract EQIL source areas and utilizing a stacked autoencoder for feature extraction, the model outperforms traditional methods in accuracy and effectively identifies the spatial distribution of EQIL.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of topography on the movement process of a debris flow in Wujia Gully, China. The debris flow was found to be a typical viscous debris flow with four stages in its dynamic process, and the topography played a significant role in the formation of these stages. Additionally, Manning's resistance coefficient affected the velocity and duration of each stage.

Occurrence of shallow landslides triggered by increased hydraulic conductivity due to tree roots

Mingyue Qin, Peng Cui, Yao Jiang, Jian Guo, Guotao Zhang, Muhammad Ramzan

Summary: Vegetation is an important factor in controlling shallow landslides in vegetation-covered areas. However, existing infiltration process models often neglect or simplify the root system, making it difficult to capture the influence of root systems on shallow landslides. This study quantitatively investigated the root distribution and properties in a landslide-prone area in Yunnan Province, China. The results showed that the root distribution followed an exponential decay model and there were differences in physical and hydraulic properties between soil above and below the slip surface. The findings suggest that root distribution and resulting changes in soil properties can affect slope stability and induce shallow landslides.

Combining seismic signal dynamic inversion and numerical modeling improves landslide process reconstruction

Yan Yan, Yifei Cui, Xinghui Huang, Jiaojiao Zhou, Wengang Zhang, Shuyao Yin, Jian Guo, Sheng Hu

Summary: This study developed a method combining seismic signal inversion and numerical simulation to provide comprehensive and accurate dynamic process reconstruction of the 2018 Baige landslide in China. The study found that the landslide was triggered by detachment of the weathered layer, with severe top fault segmentation, and comprised initiation, main slip, blocking, and deposition stages. Mutual verification of multiple methods effectively reduced inherent drawbacks and improved the rationality and reliability of the results.
