Abstract
In the present study, a strain-softening constitutive model for sensitive clays originating from weathered pumice is applied to simulate an earthquake-induced catastrophic landslide that occurred during the 2011 Great Tohoku and Kanto Earthquake in Japan. The upper part of the slope sliding about 200 m and 13 people were killed. The failure could be related to shear strength degradation of the sensitive clay layers in the slope during the earthquake.
