Flexible barriers have been widely adopted to mitigate the debris flow disasters. However,
the research on the coupled interaction analysis between flexible barriers and debris flows …

The impulse load of boulders at the front of debris flows is critical to the design of structural
defense measures, which are commonly constructed on hillsides to mitigate landslide risk …

Flexible barriers are an effective type of mitigation measure against debris avalanches in
valleys and can affect the kinetic energy and mass of debris avalanches. To investigate the …

Conventionally, flexible barriers are rated based on their ability to resist a free-falling
boulder with a particular input energy. However, there is still no well-accepted approach for …

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 …

Mitigation of natural terrain hazards through the use of flexible and rigid barriers has
become a common type of geotechnical work in Hong Kong. The current design approach …

Rigid barriers are commonly used as defense measures in hilly areas to contain falling
boulders and landslide debris, and the sliding displacement of these barriers is a key design …

High-strength flexible net barriers have achieved a certain effect in mountainous debris flow
prevention, but research on the mechanism of structural stress and deformation is still …

Open shallow landslides occur regularly in a wide range of natural terrains. Generally, they
are difficult to predict and result in damages to properties and disruption of transportation …

Effective design of mitigation measures against debris flow hazards remains a challenging
geotechnical problem. At present, a pseudo-static approach is commonly used for the …
