The frequency of debris flows in mountainous areas has increased in recent years,
threatening sustainable development of mountainous communities. The Upper Salween …

In order to reduce the damage of ordinary gravity dam impacted by boulders in debris flow, a
blocks-combined dam based practical project is proposed. The dynamic response of the …

Debris flows caused by heavy rainfall occur along long watersheds and travel at extremely
rapid velocities. Such debris flows can impact large areas and often cause economic and …

A form of steel baffles, which is made of steel poles encased in concrete and embedded into
the ground, are introduced in this article. This type of protective installation is to be located …

The objective of this study is to simulate the stress-displacement behavior of a flexible debris-
flow mitigation structure in a three-dimensional finite-element model. Flexible steel ring-net …

Debris flows are capable of flowing with high velocities and causing significant economic
and infrastructural damage. As a hazard mitigation measure, physical barriers are frequently …

Laboratory experiments play a key role in establishing rapid sliding models, as they are
conducive to providing similar conditions to those in actual mass movement processes and …

Debris flows can travel at rapid velocities and can cause economic and societal damages.
Accordingly, barriers that can dissipate the energy of debris flows are frequently installed as …

Arrays of landslide debris baffles are commonly installed upstream of rigid barriers in Hong
Kong to dissipate flow energy impacting a rigid barrier. Currently, baffles are installed using …

ABSTRACT A validated Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique was used to study the
impedance effect of baffle piles on granular behavior. This study focuses on the impact force …
