Debris flows are capable of flowing with high velocities and causing significant economic
and infrastructural damage. As a hazard mitigation measure, physical barriers are frequently …

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

The high destructive potential of debris flows poses a challenge for the design of structural
mitigation measures to protect vulnerable areas. An essential part of designing such …

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 flows are catastrophic landslides increasing in severity in recent decades due to the
more frequent and intense rainfall events under climate change. Debris flows pose a serious …

Debris flow is one type of natural terrain hazards that is particularly destructive. In order to
protect the public, mitigation measures such as rigid barriers and baffles are deployed which …

The Seventh International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation was held in
Golden, Colorado June 10-13, 2019. The major objective of the conference was to provide a …

ABSTRACT Hong Kong, Taiwan and numerous other areas around the world are vulnerable
to debris flows. A single rigid barrier is generally installed at the end of a potential flow path …

Debris flows involve gravity-driven motion of solid±fluid mixtures with abrupt surge fronts,
free upper surfaces, variably erodible basal surfaces, and compositions that may change …
