The focus of this paper is on two large sequential landslides which formed a dam and the
resulting lake that occurred along the **sha 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 …

Accurate simulation of granular flow dynamics is crucial for assessing geotechnical risks,
including landslides and debris flows. Traditional numerical methods are limited by their …

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 …

Understanding the interaction between complex geophysical flows and barriers remains a
critical challenge for protecting infrastructure in mountainous regions. The scientific …

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 …

The damage caused by a single natural hazard can be amplified in time and space to form a
disaster chain. One such chain was induced by a debris flow that occurred on June 17, 2020 …

The heights of rigid debris flow barriers are designed to provide adequate retention and
prevent debris from over-spilling. Designers need to predict potential runup height against a …

Multiple barriers are commonly installed along predicted geophysical flow paths to intercept
large flow volumes. The main criterion for multiple-barrier design is volume retained. The …

In mountainous terrain, landslide debris is a common occurrence around the world that can
potentially result in catastrophic consequences to downstream residents and facilities …
