Abstract:
The landslide dams caused by landslide or avalanche debris normally have loose structure and poor stability, leading to huge breaching flood and catastrophic disaster to the downstream areas. Key processes such as stage division, cross-section and longitudinal profile evolutions, outburst flood evolution and flood routing along rivers, are discussed based on field investigations, physical modelling tests and numerical simulations. On this basis, the existing erosion equations for calculating the downward cutting and lateral spreading of landslide dams are summarized.
