Abstract

It is necessary to estimate immediately a flood hydrograph, peak discharge in particular for appropriate preparedness downstream when landslide dams are formed. Some studies have been carried out, however they were seldom applied to real landslide dam outbreaks because there aren't field data to be compared. The flood mark data of Takaiso]yama Landslide dam outbreak happened in 1892 was found and analyzed recently. A flood hydrograph estimation method based on erosion and sediment transport equations developed for debris flow was applied to the flood. Flood depth was well explained, estimated flow velocity was larger than reported values though. The winding channel may be a reason of the disagreement.

Key words:landslide dam, outbreak, Takaiso]yama, erosion, sediment transport, debris flow, simulation
