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 …

The main objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the overall performance of
three methods, frequency ratio (FR), certainty factor (CF) and index of entropy (IOE), for …

Structural countermeasures such as rigid and flexible barriers are commonly installed in
mountainous regions to intercept mass-wasting processes. Without sufficient and reliable …

Landslide is a complex natural hazard that sometimes causes disaster resulting in loss of
life, assets and infrastructure, especially in the Himalayas. Recent studies suggest that for …

Abstract The Kalsi-Chakrata road corridor, located in the Lesser Himalayas, experiences
several landslides every year, resulting in a considerable amount of damage to roads …

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 …

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 …

Landslide poses severe threats to the natural landscape of the Lesser Himalayas and the
lives and economy of the communities residing in that mountainous topography. This study …

Flexible barriers undergo large deformation to extend the impact duration, and thereby
reduce the impact load of geophysical flows. The performance of flexible barriers remains a …

Multiple debris-resisting barriers have been commonly used worldwide to mitigate debris
flows in drainage lines. However, a well-developed methodology to assess the mobility of …
