Abstract A consequent slope, comprising weak planes in the same dip direction along the slope face, is the most dangerous type of rock slope. Herein, a consequent landslide that occurred on May 5, 2018, in Mabian County, Southwest China, was investigated. This landslide occurred in a region with a complex geological background and strong geological activity and is considered a typical consequent landslide. Field investigations and aerial photographic interpretations revealed that the rock mass slipped along the contact surface of the strongly and moderately weathered rock mass, triggered by continuous rainfall. A depth-integrated continuum method was used to study the dynamic process of the landslide. The applicability of the depth-integrated method was verified by comparing the moving boundary of the landslide extracted from a video with the simulation results. The results show that the velocity of the landslide first increased and then decreased from the top to the bottom of the landslide and reached a maximum of 21 m/s in the middle of the landslide. Based on this method, we predicted the potential danger zones and velocity distribution of unstable masses next to the Mabian landslide. On comparing the calculated results of a depth-integrated continuum method with the Scheidegger method, in the case of the Mabian landslide, a reduction factor λ was added to the Scheidegger formula to achieve a modified formula that determines the velocity of such consequent landslides relatively accurately. This work could provide reference for the study of landslide velocity and disaster prevention.
