We present measurements of hillslope debris flow impact pressures on small obstacles. Two
impact sensors have been installed in a real-scale experimental site where 50 m 3 of water …

Flexible barriers have recently been used, especially in small basins, to control and mitigate
debris flow risk. The complexity of the flow dynamics together with the lack of detailed …

In this study, we present a new method to calculate debris flow slurry impact and its
distribution, which are critical issues for designing countermeasures against debris flows …

Multiple barriers with basal clearance are usually adopted in engineering practice to
mitigate large volumes of debris flows. This approach allows for sufficient discharge and …

Structural countermeasures such as slit dams and check dams are widely installed in
mountainous regions to mitigate debris-flow hazards. However, current approaches adopted …

Multiple barriers are usually installed to effectively mitigate large-volume debris flows.
Existing multiple-barrier design recommendations ignore the effects of solid–fluid interaction …

The peak pressure of a granular debris flow at low Froude conditions can be calculated with
knowledge of the stress anisotropy and the bulk density as well as the run-up height at …

Optimising debris-resisting barriers is of paramount importance on constructing cost-
effective and eco-friendly mitigation works. Multiple barriers with basal clearance can …
