A Numerical Study of the Critical Threshold for Landslide Dam Formation Considering Landslide and River Dynamics

Landslide dam formation can be influenced by the erosive capacity of river flow and the dynamic characteristics of the landslide. When the deposition rate of a landslide that reaches a river is higher than the erosion rate of river flow, the landslide can form a dam by blocking the channel. Hence, i...
