| Research Abstract |
The Jinnosuke-dani landslide is a giant landslide 2,000 m long and 500 m wide in the Haku-san Mountain area, Japan. It was also the first landslide to be designated as a "Landslide Prevention Area" according to the "Japan Landslide Prevention Law". This landslide consists of alternating layers of sandstone and shale in the Tedori Formation, which was deposited from the Jurassic period to the Early Cretaceous. Based on deformation monitoring results for more than 7 years, the landslide is divided into upper and lower blocks. The upper block has moved at a speed of 80 to 170 mm/year, while the lower block has moved more slowly (3 to 15 mm/year). Monitoring data show that the variation of the groundwater level has a great influence on the landslide movement. The deteriorating effect of the weathering of the alternating layers of sandstone and shale on the landslide deformation has been confirmed by borehole exploration and monitoring.
Concerning the landslide motion prediction when a giant

potential landslide occurs, a prediction program for landslide motion was developed and improved. Through a back-analysis on the Bettou Failure occurred in 1934, the parameter of landslide during motion was obtained, and then used in the motion prediction on the Jinnosuke-dani landslide. The result shows that it is with high risk for the sliding mass rushes into the Tedori-gawa dam reservoir, and shows the high necessity of early -warning.
In May 2004, a landslide occurred at the right flank of the Jinnosuke-dani landslide ; this slide was transformed into a debris flow after fluidization. By analysis of the monitored video images of the debris flow, field investigation of the source area of the landslide, and a series of simulation tests with a ring-shear apparatus on the initiation of the rainfall-induced landslide and its traveling process, the initiation and traveling mechanisms of the debris flow traveling in the valley were investigated. It is shown that concentrated groundwater flow was the main reason for the landslide initiation, and a rapid decrease of the mobilized shear resistance even under naturally drained condition caused the rapid landslide motion. During the debris motion in the valley, high potential for grain-crushing of deposits in upstream and lower potential for the downstream deposits controlled the traveling and stopping process. Different grain-crushing potential of the valley deposit played an important role in the debris flow traveling and stopping processes. Less
