Abstract
This chapter examines the variety of flow-like landslides that may involve fine-grained soils. Five case studies are presented: two of them concern earthflows in softened stiff clays or marls, which are characterised by lower displacement rates than all other types of flows; one describes slope movements in sensitive clay that occurred in the debris of a large, older landslide; a coastal landslide and a huge submarine event are the topics of the last two case studies.
