Debris-flow impact load is one of the key parameters for design of engineering
countermeasures. The multiple-surge load model is a remarkable progress in estimating the …

Debris flows often cause local damage to engineering structures by exerting destructive
impact forces. The debris-flow–deformable-barrier interaction is a significant issue in …

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 …

The runup height and impact load of landslide debris are the key parameters for design of
debris hazard mitigation structures. However, the movement of obstacle (eg, deformation of …

The multiple-barrier mitigation strategy in the debris-flow source area is an effective
approach to inhibit debris-flow entrainment and scale amplification along the flow path …

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 …

Flexible barriers are being increasingly applied to mitigate the danger of debris flows.
However, how barriers can be better designed to withstand the impact loads of debris flows …

The destructive and impactful forces of debris flow commonly causes local damage to
engineering structures. The effect of a deformable barrier on the impact dynamics is …

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

Flexible barriers trap large particles and boulders in debris flow but allow slurry and small
particles to pass through. Field tests and real cases indicate that a certain amount of slurry …
