Abstract

The Japan Landslide Society has established a task force to carry out the special research project entitled IPL154 “Development of a methodology for risk assessment of the earthquake-induced landslides”. Altogether eight Working Groups, which are carrying out investigations and analyses on individual items, were organized to cover all objectives of the task force. In this report, as one of the essential research items treated in them, an example of numerical modeling of the earthquake-induced landslides occurring on dip slopes is described in detail.
