The focus of this paper is on two large sequential landslides which formed a dam and the
resulting lake that occurred along the Jinsha River on October 11 and November 3, 2018 …

Baffles and check-dam systems are often used as granular flow (rock avalanches, debris
flows, etc.) control structures in regions prone to dangerous geological hazards leading to …

The particle breakage of angular and porous calcareous sands at high strain rates (HSRs) is
important but rarely quantified. This paper conducts a series of split-Hopkinson pressure bar …

Light-weight flexible steel net barriers catch coarse debris, but let some of the fine material
and water pass through the net. They are difficult to design so that they can withstand the …

The impact behavior of superspeed granular flows is not sufficiently understood, although it
is the basis for establishing an impact model, which is important in barrier design. Centrifuge …

Engineering accidents of bridge pier damage and collapse incurred by debris avalanches
frequently occur in mountainous areas. This paper presented a three-dimensional DEM …

In the design of multiple rigid barriers, the height of the first barrier governs the impact
dynamics of debris flow on the next barrier in a channel. However, current design …

Constructing multiple-barrier systems is efficient in mitigating flow-like geological hazards
and potentially serves as an optimal solution to protect the heavily threatened …

Both the solid and fluid phases in a debris flow vitally influence the impact dynamics against
a rigid barrier. However, previous numerical and analytical models commonly adopt an …

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 …
