Shortly before the beginning of the 2017–2018 winter rainy season, one of the largest fires
in California (USA) history (Thomas fire) substantially increased the susceptibility of steep …

▪ Abstract Field observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical analyses indicate that
landslides mobilize to form debris flows by three processes:(a) widespread Coulomb failure …

Runout analyses are used for risk assessment and design of remedial measures against
rapid landslides such as debris flows, debris avalanches, rockslide avalanches, large-scale …

Debris flows typically occur when intense rainfall or snowmelt triggers landslides or
extensive erosion on steep, debris-mantled slopes. The flows can then grow dramatically in …

Comprehensive account, treating both theoretical and applied aspects of debris flow. The
text begins with a discussion of fundamental mechanical aspects, such as flow …

The assessment of the debris flow hazard potential has to rely on semi-quantitative methods.
Due to the complexity of the debris-flow process, numerical simulation models of debris …

Many rock avalanches entrain and liquefy saturated soil from their paths. Evidence for this
includes mud displaced from the margins of rock avalanche deposits, substrate material …

A miniaturized flume experiment was carried out to measure impact forces of viscous debris
flow. The flow depth (7.2–11.2 cm), velocity (2.4–5.2 m/s) and impact force were recorded …

This study focuses on scoring, selecting, and develo** physical fragility (ie, the probability
of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state given a specific hazard intensity) and/or …
