Investigating the failure mechanisms of cascade landslide dams under overtopping conditions: an experimental approach

Abstract Under strong earthquakes and extreme rainfall conditions, landslide clusters near rivers may block incoming water flows, forming cascade landslide dams. When subjected to extreme hydrological conditions, these cascade landslide dams can experience overtopping, which erodes and entrains mate...
