Reinforced concrete rigid barriers are commonly used debris flow mitigation measures in
Hong Kong. Under the threat of climate change, the chance of occurrence of more intense …

Natural terrain landslides pose a global threat as they often cause casualties and economic
losses. Potential impacts of climate change could further aggravate the landslide risk and …

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 …

Effective design of rigid debris-resisting barriers remains a challenging problem for
practitioners. At present, a pseudo-static approach is commonly used for the estimation of …

Debris flows pose threats to sustainable development in many countries worldwide,
including China, Japan, Switzerland and USA. To mitigate these flows, rigid and flexible …

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 …

Flexible barriers have received increasing attention in debris flow control because they are
more economical and easier to install when compared with rigid barriers. However, in the …

A case study on an open hillside landslide impacting on a flexible rockfall barrier at Jordan
Valley, Hong Kong is presented in this paper. The landslide occurred sometime in June …

A channelized debris flow is usually represented by a mixture of solid particles of various
sizes and water flowing along a laterally confined inclined channel-shaped region to an …

Effective design of mitigation measures against debris flow hazards remains a challenging
geotechnical problem. At present, a pseudo-static approach is commonly used for the …
