Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

Debris-flow disaster has caused large casualties and tremendous economic loss. Check
dams, flexible barriers, silt dams and baffle arrays are most used disaster prevention …

This study investigates the interaction between dry debris flows and a rigid barrier through
discrete element modeling (DEM) of flume tests. The debris materials were modeled as an …

This research investigates geohazards and preventative countermeasures for Lanzhou City,
China. To investigate the factors related to the development of geohazards in Lanzhou, the …

The dynamics of debris flows are fundamentally governed by the interaction between the
solid and fluid phases. However, current approaches used to estimate impact load treat …

Natural terrain landslides are mainly triggered by rainstorms in Hong Kong, which pose
great threats to life and property. To mitigate landslide risk, building a prediction model …

Run-up of granular debris flows against slit dams on slopes is a complex process that
involves deceleration, deposition, and discharge. It is imperative to understand the run-up …

Flexible, slit, and rigid barriers are common countermeasures to mitigate natural
geophysical mass flows, but presently, quantitative comparisons of their performance are …

Boulders entrained in debris flow induce high impact forces on a rigid barrier. In current
design practice, the concentrated load from boulders is estimated using the Hertz equation …

Flexible ring net barriers have become increasingly popular in practical mitigation of debris
flow worldwide. Systematic assessments of their response and performance subjected to the …
