Dynamics of Long-Runout Landslides: A Review
Source abstract
Abstract
Long-runout landslides usually cause a significant loss of life and property because of their hypermobility and immense energy to travel long distances at high velocities, attracting a global focus on the dynamics and mechanism of long-runout landslides. In the past few decades, a great number of past studies on long-runout landslides have seen a surge in a range of innovative ideas and vigorous debates contributing to the advancement of understanding the dynamics and mechanism of the hypermobility of long-runout landslides. As a consequence, a review of the dynamics of long-runout landslides has been conducted by comprehensively and systematically summarizing the data and achievements of long-runout landslides over the past few decades in terms of the phenomenon and characteristics, mobility, dynamic process, dynamic mechanism, and models of long-runout landslides. This review would be of great significance in providing a comprehensive reference in understanding the dynamics of long-runout landslides.
