Simulation experiments of the rainfall-induced landslides in China:insights and foresights

The simulation experiments of the rainfall-induced landslides are believed to be an important technique for the examination of the genetic mechanisms of rainfall-induced landslides.Since the 1990s,much research has focused on the rainfall-induced landslides for the engineering geologists in China.The present paper gives a general review of the current states and future trends of the research of the rainfall-induced landslides in China.
