In mountainous regions, debris-flow is one of the natural hazards imposing threats to human
lives and infrastructures. In order to estimate the magnitude of its destructive force, a number …

A new analytical model is proposed to estimate the peak impact pressure of debris flow
exerted on a rigid barrier. The new model consists of two terms, p= α 1 ρ 0 gh 0+ 0· 5 ρ 0 u …

The impact of a debris flow on a structure can have disastrous effects because of the
enormous destructive potential of this type of phenomenon. Although the introduction of risk …

This paper presents results from a series of preliminary tests in a flume model, where impact
forces on a circular pillar from debris flow is measured. The flume model is 0.3 m wide and 9 …

Flexible barriers trap large particles and boulders in debris flow but allow slurry and small
particles to pass through. Field tests and real cases indicate that a certain amount of slurry …

Debris flows exert enormous impact forces on obstacles in their path. Field measurements
proves that the impact force consists of two distinct parts: the fluid dynamic pressure and the …

The aim of this paper is to analyse debris flow impact against rigid and undrained barrier in
order to propose a new formulation for the estimation of acting force after the flow impact to …

A new type of flexible net barrier system de-signed to protect against debris flows with
volumes of up to 1000 m3 has been developed. A detailed study and testing programme …

Effective design of mitigation measures against debris flow hazards remains a challenging
geotechnical problem. At present, a pseudo-static approach is commonly used for the …

Debris flows are wide spread phenomena in mountain areas and due to their high velocity
and kinetic energy, are very destructive processes in terms of human life and structures …
