High-speed sliding often leads to catastrophic landslides, many of which, in the initial sliding phase before disintegration, experience a friction-induced thermal pressurization effect in the bottom shear band, accelerating the movement of the overlying sliding mass. To quantitatively investigate this complex multiphysical phenomenon, we established a set of equations that describe the variations in temperature and excess pore pressure within the shear band, as well as the conservation of momentum equation for the overlying sliding mass. With a simplified landslide model, we investigated the ...
