Transported driftwood and woody debris during floods may lead to accumulations and
blockages at river bridges or weirs, and can result in excessive scour or an increase in …

Sediment traps with open check dams are widely used structures in flood hazard mitigation.
This paper and its companion review the literature on their design. The companion paper …

During floods, transported large wood (LW) may accumulate at river infrastructures or is
retained intentionally at retention structures. In both cases, LW accumulation results in …

Large wood (LW) represents one of the main problem for risk prediction in Alpine streams
mostly because of its potential to clog bridges, culverts and narrow sections during flood …

In‐depth knowledge of the fluvial corridor and surrounding slopes and forest vegetation is
needed for a better understanding of wood recruitment or inputs to rivers. The information …

Very little large woody debris (LWD) is present in UK river systems due to its removal from
watercourses mainly for flood defence and angling purposes. Some researchers now …

Recent flood events in Switzerland and Western Austria in 2005 were characterised by an
increase in impacts and associated losses due to the transport of woody material. As a …

Drift seriously increases the destructive power of a flood event. Drift accumulations and
blockages at river bridges are a widespread problem, possibly leading to their total …

A robust and reliable risk assessment procedure for hydrologic hazards deserves particular
attention to the role of transported woody material during flash floods or debris flows. At …

Large wood (LW) can be transported along a river during floods, increasing flood‐
associated hazards, particularly when it accumulates at river‐spanning infrastructures such …
