Debris-flow disaster has caused large casualties and tremendous economic loss. Check
dams, flexible barriers, silt dams and baffle arrays are most used disaster prevention …

The main objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the overall performance of
three methods, frequency ratio (FR), certainty factor (CF) and index of entropy (IOE), for …

Landslide is a complex natural hazard that sometimes causes disaster resulting in loss of
life, assets and infrastructure, especially in the Himalayas. Recent studies suggest that for …

Structural countermeasures such as rigid and flexible barriers are commonly installed in
mountainous regions to intercept mass-wasting processes. Without sufficient and reliable …

The rockfall impact force is important for condition assessment and high-performance
structure design of flexible barrier systems, but it is difficult to measure by contact sensors in …

Abstract The Kalsi-Chakrata road corridor, located in the Lesser Himalayas, experiences
several landslides every year, resulting in a considerable amount of damage to roads …

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 …

Flexible barriers undergo large deformation to extend the impact duration, and thereby
reduce the impact load of geophysical flows. The performance of flexible barriers remains a …

A field investigation on the actual protective performance of a flexible rockfall barrier along a
mountain road in western China is presented in this paper. The total area of the flexible …

In-depth understanding of debris-structure interaction is hindered by a lack of physical data
of debris flow impacting structures. This study reports a set of centrifuge experiments …
