This book sheds new light on improved methods for the study of the
initiation and run-out of earthquake-induced landslides. It includes an
initiation study method that considers tension-shear failure mechanism;
an improved, rigorous, dynamic sliding-block method based on dynamic
critical acceleration; and a run-out analysis of earthquake-induced
landslides that takes account of the trampoline effect, all of which add
to the accuracy and accessibility of landslide study. The book includes
abundant illustrations, figures and tables, making it a valuable
resource for those looking for practical landslide research tools.
