Abstract：This article, focuses on earthquake-triggered individual landslides, is the continue volume of "An overview of earthquake-triggered landslides of Chinese mainland before the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake I: Regional spatial distribution and assessment". Individual landsides or stabilities of slopes under seismic force in cases of before the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake were detailed generalized. In this article, there are several aspects on the issue, include (1) geological analysis on real earthquake-triggered landslides or slope stability analysis under seismic force; (2) methods of the traditional computational mechanics analysis including the Newmark method, limit equilibrium method, and other methods; (3) finite element analysis methods, such as Geostudio, FLAC, and other platforms; (4) discrete element analysis methods, e.g. UDEC and other programs applied in the filed of seismic landslides; and (5) physical models. It is expect that summarizing these studies can provide references for similar studies in the future.
