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 flows occur in mountainous areas characterized by steep slope and occasional
severe rainstorms. The massive urbanization in these areas raised the importance of …

This paper presents a unified modeling framework to investigate the impacts of debris flow
on flexible barriers, based on coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element …

Debris-flow impact against rigid obstacle involves instant redirection of flow velocity and
elevation of flow depth, and could serve as a stringent approach for verification of the two …

Slit dams are widely used for managing multiphase geophysical flows with diverse
objectives. However, quantitatively linking dam configurations and flow properties to design …

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 …

A deflector is a structure installed at the crest of a rigid barrier to prevent the over-spilling of
debris flow from damaging the downstream infrastructures and human lives. Despite its clear …

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 …

The study on impact mechanisms of flow-like landslides against structures is still an open
issue in the scientific literature. Many researchers have so far employed either experiments …

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