Debris flows are very dangerous phenomena claiming thousands of lives and millions of Euros each year over the world. Disaster mitigation includes non-structural (hazard …
Structural countermeasures such as slit dams and check dams are widely installed in mountainous regions to mitigate debris-flow hazards. However, current approaches adopted …
Field surveys of recent major flood events have emphasized the need for an in-depth examination of debris loading. Debris loading occurs when solid objects entrained within the …
In field investigations of major flooding events, debris impact has been identified as a critical load and has thus been included in various building codes, such as FEMA P-646 and …

Physical building vulnerability to debris flows is defined as the potential damage degree of buildings for a given debris flow intensity. In this paper, the physical characteristics of both …
Debris flows occur in mountainous areas characterized by steep slope and occasional severe rainstorms. The massive urbanization in these areas raised the importance of …

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 loading during extreme flooding events has been documented by many post-tsunami field surveys of disaster-stricken communities and, as such, it is now considered and …
