The baffle design resisting dry granular flow is still impeded by the effect of the particle size
distribution coupled with the influence of Froude characteristics on baffle performance–for …

Baffle structures are effective measures for decelerating granular flows and reducing their
destructive power. However, the engineering design of baffle structures, particularly with …

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

Baffle system is a promising disaster mitigation measure, while the mechanism of debris-
baffle interaction at grain scale has not been fully understood, and especially the effect of the …

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 …

Granular debris flow baffles are commonly installed in front of rigid barriers to dissipate flow
energy and reduce the required barrier impact capacity. Despite the engineering value of …

Baffle arrays are used to filter boulders from granular flows, such that the impact load
exerted on barriers is reduced. However, current guidelines provide limited …

Shallow slope failure in mountainous regions is a common and emergent hazard in terms of
its damage to important traffic routes and local communities. The impact of dry granular flows …

The process of a dry granular flow impacting a rigid retaining wall was systematically studied
using three types of granular materials with different physical parameters. The experimental …

Debris flows occur without warning and carry destructive energy. It is imperative to
understand its flow mechanisms and interaction with structural countermeasures to prevent …
