In mountainous areas, channelized rock avalanches swarm downslope leading to large
impact forces on building structures in residential areas. Arrays of rock avalanche baffles are …

To reduce the flow energy of rockfall in rmountain area, a baffle array is set up in the
protection zone. The optimized design can enhance the efficiency of hazard source energy …

Rock avalanches with a high mobility and kinetic energy pose a potential geological risk to
surrounding buildings. Baffles and avalanche walls are effective ways to protect these …

Rapid granular flows are one of the most catastrophic geo-disasters frequently encountered
in mountainous areas. The baffle structure has been demonstrated to be an effective …

Debris flows travel downslope at high speed and often cause damage to the infrastructure of
societies around the world. With increasing extreme rainfall events and urbanization in …

Flexible barriers are an effective type of mitigation measure against debris avalanches in
valleys and can affect the kinetic energy and mass of debris avalanches. To investigate the …

Baffle structure, a promising countermeasure in reducing the destruction power of rapid
granular flows, needs more investigation especially with focus on the physically based …

Debris flow is a common geological hazard in mountainous area. The large boulders carried
by debris flow can be particularly destructive to downhill facilities. Constructing steel baffle …

Landslide risks arising from boulder falls and debris flows are commonly mitigated using
rigid and flexible barriers. Debris–barrier interaction is a complicated process, so current …

In mountainous terrain, landslide debris is a common occurrence around the world that can
potentially result in catastrophic consequences to downstream residents and facilities …
