Outline of Final Research Achievements

To understand the triggering mechanisms of stronger earthquake and landslides with high mobility, we performed field investigation of some coseismic landslides and also conducted shear tests on different granular materials. Some conclusions are made as follows. 1) Liquefaction of saturated sliding surface or negative shear rate dependence of shear strength of carbonate enabled the high mobility of post failure movement of landslide materials. 2) The shear strength of some granular materials depends on the size of grains and also on the shear rate. The reduction in shear strength due to the occurrence of stick slip depends on the shear rate and also grain size. 3) grain crushing and shearing are remarkably localized on the halite shear zone, and shear strength could be recovered quickly soon after the cease of shear, but the shear distance needed to drop from the peak to residual shear strength becomes shorter with increase of shear times.
