Abstract
Numerical modelling techniques can be used in conjunction with detailed site investigation and slope monitoring to gain a better understanding of the factors controlling the deformation or failure mechanism of a particular slope. A wide range of numerical modelling techniques are also available to assess the post-failure behaviour of mass movements. The numerical modelling techniques for the pre- or post-failure behaviour of a landslide can be based on empirical relationships, continuum mechanics, or discontinuum mechanics. These techniques have been calibrated based on numerous back-analysis of various mass movement types and can now be used as a numerical laboratory to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of landslide for a variety of scenarios.
