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 …

Driven by the initiative of the Geotechnical Engineering Office, Civil Engineering and
Development Department of Hong Kong, Arup is undertaking a pilot numerical investigation …

Soga et al.(2016) examined a number of continuum-based large-deformation analysis
methods to simulate the complex mechanics of landslide motion. In particular, the authors …

Physical barriers are effective tools in the mitigation of landslide hazards. Numerous case
histories have been reported where flexible barriers have successfully contained debris …

ABSTRACT A new type of flexible debris-resisting barrier has been designed using the state-
of-the-art analytical force approach for mitigation of channelised debris flow hazards in a …

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 use of steel flexible barriers to mitigate landslide risk on natural hillsides is becoming
common in the past decade in Hong Kong. The current design approach for this kind of …

The interaction of flow-like landslides with protection barriers is analyzed for their design.
Three recent analysis approaches are briefly presented and applied to different landslide …

Landslides are major natural hazards that can pose significant risks to human lives and
properties in mountainous areas. Mobility assessments of landslide debris are integral to the …

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 …
