Abstract

The increasing frequency of landslide disasters worldwide highlights the importance of accurate prediction of post-failure runout distances for effective risk management. However, the prediction of runout distances of gravitational mass flow remains challenging due to the inherent complex heterogeneities of geomaterials and their inter-correlated spatially varying mechanical properties. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel multivariate stochastic method based on the combination of the Generalised Interpolation Material Point (GIMP) analysis and the multivariate copula-based approach. The method considers geotechnical uncertainties by simulating copula-based cross-correlated random fields from sparse field data and incorporating them into the GIMP analysis through Monte Carlo simulations (MCS). Two slope cases with similar geometries but different sources of probability information are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that considering the influence of multivariate random fields can significantly affect the post-failure analysis of landslides. Both slope cases show that over 40 % of all MCS samples exceed the deterministic case, which indicates that the current deterministic analysis notably underestimates the risk associated with large runout distances of landslides. This study highlights the necessity of considering the interdependency of spatial heterogeneity in post-failure modelling of landslides.
