Simulation of the erosion process of landslide dams due to overtopping considering variations in soil erodibility along depth

A landslide dam typically comprises freshly deposited heterogeneous, unconsolidated or poorly consolidated earth materials and is vulnerable to overtopping breaching. A physically-based breach model is presented to simulate the breaching process of such landslide dams. The new model can predict the...
