Effective design of rigid debris-resisting barriers remains a challenging problem for
practitioners. At present, a pseudo-static approach is commonly used for the estimation of …

Recent experimental results obtained at the University of Trento show that a liquid-granular
wave can impact against a vertical obstacle producing two different mechanisms of …

A debris flow is represented by a mixture of solid particles of various sizes and water, flowing
along a laterally confined channel-shaped region whilst a rock fall is represented by singular …

Debris flows, which often contain large boulders, may impact and destroy downstream
facilities such as buildings and bridges. To protect human lives and infrastructures in …

Debris flows are gravity-driven phenomena common in mountainous regions that are
hazardous to downstream facilities. To mitigate the impacts of these disastrous processes …

Debris flow is widely recognized as one of the most dangerous landslide phenomena, and
thus the design of structural mitigation measures constitutes an important issue. Numerical …

A channelized debris flow is usually represented by a mixture of solid particles of various
sizes and water flowing along a laterally confined inclined channel-shaped region to an …

To design technical mitigation structure against debris flows in torrents it is important to
define realistic design impact loads. Presented impact forces were mostly derived from back …

Debris flows are catastrophic landslides increasing in severity in recent decades due to the
more frequent and intense rainfall events under climate change. Debris flows pose a serious …

Debris flow is a transient phenomenon that causes large disasters. Retaining systems,
whose design is still nowadays a crucial issue, can mitigate this risk. Multiple surges can …
