Understanding where earthquake-induced landslides are most likely to occur is important for reducing damage and loss of life in future earthquakes. The paper took Wenchuan earthquake as an example, and formed the multimode parallel system composed of the geologic body and three key factors firstly, and applied the means of reliability analysis of multimode system with matrix on the research of critical evaluation of earthquake-induced landslides secondly. At last, not only the primary and secondary risky grades could be obtained for every county, but also the value of reliability of each county in different risky grades could be computed in Wenchuan earthquake. This method is significant for further study on critical evaluation of earthquake-induced landslides.
