New unsaturated erosion model for landslide: Effects of flow particle size and debunking the importance of frictional stress

CE Choi, P Song - Engineering Geology, 2023 - Elsevier
Flow-type landslides, such as debris flows and rock avalanches, erode soil bed material as
they flow downslope. The eroded material increases the volume of a landslide, and thus, its …

MPM modelling of debris flow entrainment and interaction with an upstream flexible barrier

H Vicari, QA Tran, S Nordal, V Thakur - Landslides, 2022 - Springer
Flexible barriers may be installed upstream in debris flow channels to reduce entrainment of
bed material. Simulating both the entrainment and the impact on a barrier by the same …

Load model for designing flexible steel barriers for debris flow mitigation

C Wendeler, A Volkwein, BW McArdell… - Canadian …, 2019 - cdnsciencepub.com
