This study presents the results of a real scale in situ experimental test conducted in order to
analyse the dynamics of the impact of a debris flow on flexible barriers. The analyses of the …

The mechanisms and dynamic processes that drive debris flows are complex and require a
multidisciplinary approach to study. A major component of debris flow is soil-water …

Gravity-driven debris flow of granular particles down an inclined slope is a problem of
growing concern in mountainous regions and poses a significant risk to people, roads, and …

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 up to an …

A 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; debris flow protection …

Abstract In Hong Kong, design practice adopts the hydrodynamic load model to estimate the
dynamic soil debris impact load on reinforced concrete debris-resisting barriers. A dynamic …

In order to evaluate the drag force acting on Sabo facilities due to the impact of stony debris
flow, small and large scale experiments were performed. Vertically-stacked cylindrical load …

Debris flows occur in multiple surges. Boulders entrained within the flow have been reported
to incapacitate structures within its flow path. Single-layer cushions, such as gabions, are …

Climate change has caused localized torrential rainfall and typhoons to occur more
frequently, increasing the damage to both life and property. In particular, debris flows have …

Debris flows are geohazards consisting of an irreversible deformation of sediment-water
mixtures. They have a high destructive potentiality and, therefore, geotechnical engineers …
