Channelized debris flows surge downslope in mountainous regions and have large impact
forces. Arrays of debris flow baffles are frequently positioned in front of rigid barriers to …

Structural countermeasures such as rigid and flexible barriers are commonly installed in
mountainous regions to intercept mass-wasting processes. Without sufficient and reliable …

Protective structures play a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with debris flows, yet
assessing their performance poses crucial challenges for their real-world effectiveness. This …

Coarse grains accumulate at granular flow fronts and must be considered when studying
granular flows impacting barriers. Experimental studies often use instrumented barriers …

Debris flows affect people and infrastructure around the world, and as a result, many
numerical models and modelling approaches have been developed to simulate their …

A full understanding of the interaction mechanisms among flow-like landslides and impacted
protection structures is still an open issue. Although several approaches, from experimental …

Landslide risks arising from boulder falls and debris flows are commonly mitigated using
rigid and flexible barriers. Debris–barrier interaction is a complicated process, so current …

Granular debris flow baffles are commonly installed in front of rigid barriers to dissipate flow
energy and reduce the required barrier impact capacity. Despite the engineering value of …

Rigid barrier is a straightforward and effective countermeasure widely used for mitigating
debris flow. However, in current designs, it remains unclear how to optimize the rigid barrier …

The debris–barrier interaction issue has gained considerable attention among the
engineering community, but most researches have only focused on the single-surge impact …
