Abstract

The continuum, shallow-water type landslide models, derived in the previous chapters are applied to two devastating landslides in Taiwan for back-analysis of the landslide motion. The two landslides are the Tsaoling and Hsiaoling landslides, which were large-scale rapid avalanche landslides triggered by the Chi-Chi earthquake, 1999, and the excessive rainfall brought by the Morakot typhoon , 2009. In addition to the two example landslides, small scale landslides and debris flows have been repeatedly occurring in Taiwan because of the natural geological settings of the island.
