Abstract: Multiple barriers with basal clearance are usually adopted in engineering practice to mitigate large volumes of debris flows. This approach allows for sufficient discharge and minimizes the need for cleaning and maintenance ...

Abstract: Multiple barrier system has become a widely adopted method to mitigate debris flows, which consists of smaller barriers that progressively retain the debris to reduce the acceleration and carbon footprint. Different from ...

Abstract: The implementation of a multiple barrier system has been recognized as an efficient approach for mitigating debris flows. To effectively reduce the impact forces on multiple barriers from overflow, a deflector can be ...

Abstract: Boulders entrained in debris flow induce high impact forces on a rigid barrier. In current design practice, the concentrated load from boulders is estimated using the Hertz equation with a load reduction factor (Kc). ...
