Figure 6

UDEC modeling of the Tangjiashan landslide. (a) Calculation zones of UDEC model, the blocks are discretized into deformable finite difference zones. The sizes of the model are also indicated. (b) Initial tensile failure state under gravity loading (purple circles indicate tensile failure zones). (c) Tensile failure state in the early stage under excitation of the Wenchuan seismic wave (purple circles indicate tensile failure). (d) Shear strain zones connected under excitation of the seismic wave, the tensile rupture part and sheared sliding part are marked along the sliding surface. We produced the figures using UDEC (Ver.6.0) software (https://www.itascacg.com/software/UDEC).
