Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating landslides caused by earthquakes: A historical review
TL;DR: The first formal, scientific post-earthquake investigation that included systematic documentation of the landslides was undertaken in the Calabria region of Italy after the 1783 earthquake swarm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution of landslides triggered by the 2008 Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated correlations between the occurrence of landslides with geologic and geomorphologic conditions, and seismic parameters, and found that both LAD and LPD have strong positive correlations with slope steepness, distance from the major surface rupture and seismic intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution pattern of earthquake-induced landslides triggered by the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake
Tolga Gorum,Xuanmei Fan,Xuanmei Fan,Cees J. van Westen,Runqiu Huang,Qiang Xu,Chuan Tang,Gonghui Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors presented the preliminary results of an extensive study of the mapping the distribution of landslides triggered by the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Province, China, on 12 May 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three (nearly) complete inventories of landslides triggered by the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 earthquake of China and their spatial distribution statistical analysis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared three (nearly) complete landslide inventories that were compiled from visual image interpretation, which differ in the manner in which the landslides are represented, either as polygons, centroid points, or top points.

The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
TL;DR: The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws -producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events.
Journal Article
Slope movement types and processes
TL;DR: In this article, a fairly complete range of slope movement processes are identified and classified according to features that are also to some degree relevant to their recognition, avoidance, control, or correction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslides caused by earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the characteristics, geologic environments, and hazards of landslides caused by seismic events and found that the maximum area likely to be affected by landslides in a seismic event increases from approximately 0 at M ≅ 4.0 to 500,000 km2 at M = 9.2.
Book
Landslide hazard zonation: A review of principles and practice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give the definitions and principles of landslides, and identify causative conditions and processes (inherent or basic conditions, geology, geomorphology, hydrologic conditions and climate, vegetation, factors that change stress conditions and strength of materials).

Peak horizontal acceleration and velocity from strong motion records including records from the 1979 Imperial Valley, California, earthquake
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnitude-independent shape based on geometrical spreading and anelastic attenuation was proposed for the attenuation curve, which decouples the determination of the distance dependence of the data from the magnitude dependence.
