The dynamics of debris flows are fundamentally governed by the interaction between the
solid and fluid phases. However, current approaches used to estimate impact load treat …

Flexible ring nets exhibit complex nonlinear mechanical behaviour when subjected to static
and dynamic impact loads. This research presents the development of an efficient numerical …

The high destructive potential of debris flows poses a challenge for the design of structural
mitigation measures to protect vulnerable areas. An essential part of designing such …

This study investigates the interaction between dry debris flows and a rigid barrier through
discrete element modeling (DEM) of flume tests. The debris materials were modeled as an …

Boulders entrained in debris flows are the main cause of damage to debris-resisting
structures. Poly-dispersity leads to grain-size segregation, which causes boulders to migrate …

Problem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils.
Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and …

In the design of multiple rigid barriers, the height of the first barrier governs the impact
dynamics of debris flow on the next barrier in a channel. However, current design …

Debris flow is one type of natural terrain hazards that is particularly destructive. In order to
protect the public, mitigation measures such as rigid barriers and baffles are deployed which …

Debris flow normally occurs after heavy rains in mountainous regions with multiple surges.
Flexible barriers are installed in torrents to intercept debris flows in an early stage. For the …
