Numerical Simulation of the 2017 Xinmo Catastrophic Landslide Considering Entrainment Effect

The mass movement process of the 2017 Xinmo catastrophic landslide was simulated using the discreet element method (DEM). Field investigation indicates that the basal entrainment is a typical feature of this landslide. Hence, the entrained colluvium on the sliding path is considered in the DEM model...
