Defense structures are commonly constructed on the upstream side of bridge piers to
mitigate the impact of potential debris-flow events. In this study, field investigations were …

The magnitude of debris-flow impact force with soil layer entrainment was analyzed using a
coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) technique in ABAQUS. To consider the entrainment of …

This study aimed to quantitatively identify the influence of the block impact angle and block
shape on the impact effect of reinforced concrete (RC) sheds. The smooth particle …

Modelling flow-like landslides interacting with barriers poses significant challenges,
particularly to predict the impact dynamics. For the design, it is essential to assess the forces …

We report findings from three-dimensional computational modeling and flume experiments
on debris-flow impact force on piers with different shapes. The computational model …

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 …

Check dams are often damaged by boulder impacts. Thus, this paper proposes a novel
ground-anchored string beam debris flow grille dam. Finite element software analyses …

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 impulse load of boulders at the front of debris flows is critical to the design of structural
defense measures, which are commonly constructed on hillsides to mitigate landslide risk …

The debris from exploded buildings can ricochet after colliding with the ground, thus
increasing the debris travel distance and danger from any associated impacts or collisions …
