“…The potential energy released by the event could be estimated, E = 290 TJ , following Lin et al, 2015, and thus the volume involved, V = 13 million m 3 (quite close to the estimation based on field observation and topographic difference), and the average mobilized friction coefficient, µ = 0.29 (following Lin, 2015). For comparison, similar evaluations resulted in E = 150 TJ, µ = 0.12, v = 298 km h −1 , and V = 10 7 m 3 for the 2009 Hsiaolin landslide in Taiwan (Lin et al, 2010Lin, 2015), and E = 55 TJ, v = 101 km h −1 and V = 2.1 × 10 7 m 3 for the 2011 Atakani landslide in Japan (Yamada et al, 2013). Systematic evaluations of landslide characteristics based on seismic recordings are also given by Chen et al (2013).…”
