This review examines interpretive issues relating to catastrophic, long-runout landslides in the context of large numbers of recently discovered late Quaternary events. It links relevant research in landslide science, including some novel or hitherto-ignored complexities in the nature and role of these events, to broader concerns of mountain geomorphology. Attention is drawn to mountain ranges ...

The aim was to investigate differences of the kinetics of the crimp and the slope grip used in rock climbing. Nine cadaver fingers were prepared and fixated with the proximal phalanx in a frame. The superficial (FDS) and deep (FDP) flexor tendons were loaded selectively and together with 40 N in the crimp grip (PIP joint flexed 90°/DIP joint hyperextended) and the slope grip position (<25° flex...

After the wenchuan earthquake, dynamic response law of rock slope under action load is a very concerned and urgent problem in field seismic engineering. This paper analyzed simplified cosine wave by numerical simulation with FLAC3D software. research emphatically variation amplification coefficient displacement, acceleration velocity condition different height, angle, period amplitude, which pr...
