The cause of the apparent small friction exhibited by long runout landslides has long been
speculated upon. In an attempt to provide some insight into the matter, this paper describes …

This paper describes the use of a discrete particle computer simulation to test whether the
apparent low friction exhibited by long runout landslides could be explained in terms of …

Several issues relevant to the mobility of long-runout landslides are examined. A central
idea developed in this paper is that the apparent coefficient of friction (ratio of the fall height …

This paper, by simple model studies, demonstrates that the low friction observed for long
runout landslides can be explained in terms of simple particle dynamics, without the …

We use numerical two-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) to study the controls on
the size and geometry of an individual landslide. This method allows us to analyze the …

Abstract Campbell et al.(1995) modeled long runout landslides as granular flow using a soft
particle code. Their model essentially simulates landslides from first principles, and although …

We focus on the 6 August 2010 Mount Meager landslide that occurred in Southwest British
Columbia, Canada. This 48.5 Mm3 rockslide that rapidly changed into a debris flow was …

By considering the implications of the comminution generally associated with very large
landslides, we arrive at a simple explanation for the remarkably low frictional resistance to …

One of the ultimate goals in landslide hazard assessment is to predict maximum landslide
extension and velocity. Despite much work, the physical processes governing energy …

Scaling plays a crucial role in designing experiments aimed at understanding the behavior
of landslides, debris flows, and other geomorphic phenomena involving grain-fluid mixtures …
