Slit dams are open-type structures used to mitigate debris-flow hazards by constricting the
flow and attenuating the kinetic energy. However, slit dams are often filled up as they are …

The paper deals with the effects of artificial barriers on the dynamic features of unconfined
flows such as debris avalanches in coarse-grained materials. These phenomena are often …

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 …

The study of the interaction of mud-flows with obstacles is important to define inundation
zones in urban areas and to design the possible structural countermeasures. The paper …

In this study, to investigate the effect of cylindrical countermeasure on the flow characteristics
of debris flow, a series of small-scale tests were conducted using a flume with cylindrical …

The phase separation mechanism in a natural debris flow as a solid-liquid mixture is an
important aspect in its movement and deposition. In this paper, the relationship between …

Arrays of baffles are usually installed in front of protection site to attenuate the flow energy of
rock avalanches in mountainous areas. Optimization design is crucial for efficiency …

With the advantages of a simple structure and rapid construction, the rigid netting barrier
(RNB) exerts a good obstruction effect on granular flow and is a common engineering …

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 …

In this study, in order to analyze the effect of cylindrical baffles on the debris flow energy,
small-scale tests were conducted using a flume with cylindrical baffles. Various row numbers …
