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 …

Flowing sediments such as debris and liquefied soils could exert a tremendous amount of
force as they impact objects along their paths. The total impact force generally varies with …

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 …

Boulders entrained in debris flow induce high impact forces on a rigid barrier. In current
design practice, the concentrated load from boulders is estimated using the Hertz equation …

The impact and damage caused by debris flow on concrete bridges have become a typical
disaster scenario. However, the impact disaster mechanism of debris flow on bridge …

Debris-flow disaster has caused large casualties and tremendous economic loss. Check
dams, flexible barriers, silt dams and baffle arrays are most used disaster prevention …

Impact force is a crucial factor to be considered in debris-resisting structure design. The
impact of debris flow against a structural barrier depends not only on the flow dynamics but …

The characteristics of exposed built environments have a significant effect on debris flow
impacts on buildings, but knowledge about their interactions is still limited. This paper …

Multiple barrier system has become a widely adopted method to mitigate debris flows, which
consists of smaller barriers that progressively retain the debris to reduce the acceleration …

In this study, we present a new method to calculate debris flow slurry impact and its
distribution, which are critical issues for designing countermeasures against debris flows …
