Abstract The Karakoram Highway links north Pakistan with southwest China. It passes
through unique geomorphological, geological and tectonic setting. This study focused 200 …

Entrainment of underlying bed sediment by a debris flow can significantly increase the
debris‐flow magnitude. To study this phenomenon, a theoretical approach to assessing bed …

The estimation of debris-flow velocity in a cross-section is of primary importance due to its
correlation to impact force, run up and superelevation. However, previous methods …

This paper describes the application of a methodology for the evaluation of debris-flow risk
in alluvial fans by incorporating numerical simulations with Geographical Information …

Rivers, vital for household and industrial needs, vary in size due to erosion and
sedimentation and are significantly impacted by climate variations. Accurate estimation of …

Lateral berms are often constructed to protect highway bridges against debris flows in
mountainous regions. Currently, different solutions for lateral berm design are debated. The …

Mud depth of debris flow is an essential parameter for assessing the hazard magnitude in an
event. However, direct prediction of mud depth in a natural river channel is a scientific …
