Abstract
An essential part of landslide hazard and risk assessment is the estimate of the runout distance of the landslide masses. There is, however, little guidance available today on the estimation of the landslide runout in sensitive clays and no suitable model exists for predicting runout in sensitive clays. A new empirical model for the runout estimation is presented in this paper. The new model is based on empirical data, and is recommended for use in Norway until further research on analytical models becomes available. The recommended empirical procedure is based on the historical landslides in sensitive clays in Norway. The paper discusses the implementation of the proposed empirical models in a calculation tool called GeoSuite Toolbox as a part an ongoing R&D project GeoFuture II.
