Rock avalanches are characterized by huge volume, high velocity and long runout and
greatly threaten human lives and construction of major projects of the mountain areas in …

高速远程滑坡具有体积大, 速度高, 运动距离远等特点, 严重威胁着山区居民生命安全和重大工程
建设. 滑坡的碎屑化作用是滑坡高速运动过程中非常普遍且十分重要的现象 …

Many field observations show that the shape characteristic of particles constituting natural or
industrial loose deposits is often size-correlated, that is, either more regular or irregular for …

Abstract Knowledge on the interactions between granular flows and their boundaries is
essential for understanding granular flow dynamics. In this study, a series of experiments …

Experimental dry granular flow with a flume configuration is a basic model used for
simulating rock avalanches. Despite the establishment of many empirical relationships …

Rockfalls and rockslides often occur in mountainous areas, and they may develop into rock
avalanches because of fragmentation. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to …

A main objective in landslide research is to predict how far they will travel. Landslides are
complex, and a complete understanding in principle requires accounting for numerous …

This paper presents a systematic study of particle shape effects on granular collapse using
superquadric Discrete Element Method. Superquadrics allow non-spherical shapes to be …

Earth surface flows in nature, like debris flows and rock avalanches, have threatened
people's safety and infrastructure during past decades. Though grain size distribution (GSD) …

Large-scale landslide dams triggered by earthquakes or rainfall can cause disasters due to
inundation upstream and outburst floods downstream after dam failure. Landslide dams …
