“…More than 849 aftershocks with magnitudes higher than Ms 4.0 occurred after the Wenchuan earthquake by 12 March, 2012 (Shen et al, 2013). There are numbers of studies on the static behaviors of landslide dams, for instance, stability analysis, failure modes, and breach parameters (e.g., Schuster, 1988, 1991;Korup, 2002;Ermini and Casagli, 2003;Davies et al, 2007;Shi et al, 2011;Peng and Zhang, 2012). However, the researches on dynamic behaviors of landslide dams are seldom found.…”
