Chinese historic documents recorded that on June 1, 1786, a strong M= 7.75 earthquake
occurred in the Kangding-Luding area, Sichuan, southwestern China, resulting in a large …

Homogeneous small-amplitude embankments were constructed in flumes from a range of
uniform noncohesive materials and breached by overtopping flows under constant reservoir …

In order to be economically viable, flood disaster mitigation should be based on a
comprehensive assessment of the flood risk. This requires the estimation of the flood hazard …
