Debris flows are one of the most complex and devastating natural phenomena, and they
affect mountainous areas throughout the world. Structural measures are currently adopted to …

Debris flows typically grow in volume by entraining soil, fluid, and boulders along the flow
channel. During the flow, the entrainment of large boulders is significant but has remained …

Debris flow is a devastating phenomenon that happens in hilly and mountainous regions
and has a serious impact on affected areas. It causes casualties and serious damage to the …

The objective of this study is to analyse adaptable debris-flow impact models, which are very
important for mitigation measurements and buildings using their sphere of influence. For this …

A miniaturized flume experiment was carried out to measure impact forces of viscous debris
flow. The flow depth (7.2–11.2 cm), velocity (2.4–5.2 m/s) and impact force were recorded …

Flexible barriers have received increasing attention in debris flow control because they are
more economical and easier to install when compared with rigid barriers. However, in the …

The use of open-type check dams in mountainous areas has become common practice in
order to mitigate the effects of debris flow and extend the service life of engineering …

Debris flow is a devastating phenomenon that happens in hilly and mountainous regions
and has a serious impact on affected areas. It causes casualties and serious damage to the …

In a disused quarry in Veltheim, Switzerland, we release up to 50 m3 debris material down a
41 m long and 30 steep channel. The muddy and erosive flows obtained are similar to …

The use of steel flexible barriers to mitigate landslide risk on natural hillsides is becoming
common in the past decade in Hong Kong. The current design approach for this kind of …
