Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

Debris-flow impact against rigid obstacle involves instant redirection of flow velocity and
elevation of flow depth, and could serve as a stringent approach for verification of the two …

Debris flow caused high number of deaths among many of geohazard events in Malaysia
due to the characteristics of sudden outburst and high energy density. This paper reviewed …

Flexible, slit, and rigid barriers are common countermeasures to mitigate natural
geophysical mass flows, but presently, quantitative comparisons of their performance are …

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 …

Geophysical mass flows impacting flexible barriers can create complex flow patterns and
multiway solid‐fluid‐structure interactions, wherein estimates of impact loads rely …

Debris-flow impact load is one of the key parameters for design of engineering
countermeasures. The multiple-surge load model is a remarkable progress in estimating the …

Debris flows are one of the perilous landslide-related hazards due to their fast flow velocity,
large impact force, and long runout, in association with poor predictability. Debris-flow …

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 …

Quantitative understanding of the load–deflection mechanisms of a flexible barrier in
intercepting debris flows is critical for barrier design, but remains practically challenging due …
