| Abstract: | Earthquake-induced landslides along the Dujiangyan-Yingxiu highway after the Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 were investigated.
It was found that: (1) slopes were shattered and damaged during the earthquake and open tension cracks formed on the tops
of the slopes; (2) the upper parts of slopes collapsed and slid, while the lower parts remained basically intact, indicating
that the upper parts of slopes would be damaged more heavily than the lower parts during an earthquake. |
