Predicting debris flow runout is of major importance for hazard mitigation. Apart from
topography and volume, runout distance and area depends on debris flow composition and …

Flowing sediments such as debris and liquefied soils could exert a tremendous amount of
force as they impact objects along their paths. The total impact force generally varies with …

Flexible barriers are increasingly used for the protection from debris flow in mountainous
terrain due to their low cost and environmental impact. However, the development of a …

Rainfall weakens an earth slope in a number of ways. It increases the degree of saturation of
the soil, thereby breaking the bonds created by surface tension between the soil particles …

Debris flows and landslides induced by heavy rainfall represent an ubiquitous and
destructive natural hazard in steep mountainous regions. For debris flows initiated by …

The peak pressure of a granular debris flow at low Froude conditions can be calculated with
knowledge of the stress anisotropy and the bulk density as well as the run-up height at …

Boulders often accumulate at the fronts of fast-flowing steep creek hazards. To trap these
boulders, slit dams are commonly installed along steep creeks. An outstanding challenge …

This research proposes an innovative Mechanics-guided Data-driven Model (MGDD Model)
for predicting the rheological behavior of debris flows, marking a significant breakthrough in …

In this paper, shear rate-dependent rheological properties of mine tailings taken from
abandoned mine deposits prone to mass movements are examined using a commercial ball …

Debris flows are gravitational mass movements of rock incorporated in a fluid matrix of fine
sediments suspended in water [3, 4]. Often the term debris avalanche is used to refer to the …
