Abstract
LS-RAPID is an integrated simulation model capable of capturing the entire landslide process starting from a state of stability to landslide initiation and movement to the mass deposition. This paper provides an overview of the use of LS-RAPID to simulate landslide case histories around the world, provides a manual for readers to begin using the program for simulations, and describes the use of the program for several models. Specific steps to use the basic and advanced features in LS-RAPID are provided within the paper. Additionally, video tutorials are provided to supplement the descriptive steps provided in this paper. These tutorials are developed to focus on individual aspects of the program. The paper concludes with three tutorials that provide a complete walk-through of the use of the program from start to finish. These tutorials are for (1) an example of a rainfall-induced failure, (2) an example of an earthquake-induced failure, and (3) the case study of the Atami debris flow. The Atami debris flow illustrates the ability of LS-RAPID to reproduce reliable results associated with the initiation and runout motions of the observed failure.
