Check dams with bottom outlets are widely used in debris flow gullies to minimize the
damage caused by debris flows. However, the bottom size is often based on empirical …

Inspired by the geomorphologic phenomenon of step-pool bed configuration, analogous
dissipation structures are set in drainage channels to mitigate granular flow hazards. The …

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 …

This paper discussed the changes in the movement trajectories and deposition patterns of
the rock avalanches in the baffle-net structure under different cases, and obtained the …

A detailed investigation on the influence of topography on the impact mechanism of dry
granular flow is still lacking. In this study, the effect of topography was examined …

Dry granular flow induced by rock collapses and landslides is a typical disaster in
mountainous areas. Rock sheds are widely used as protective structures to shield traffic …

Rigid barriers with basal openings are often installed along predicted flow paths to protect
downstream facilities from dry granular flows containing large boulders. However, current …

Debris flows are catastrophic landslides increasing in severity in recent decades due to the
more frequent and intense rainfall events under climate change. Debris flows pose a serious …

The large-volume and high-speed channelized granular flows transformed from energetic
rockslides and rockfalls are serious geological disasters. The submerged sills embedded in …

Multi-layer rigid netting barriers (RNBs) can obstruct the granular flow layer by layer, and all
the layers of the structures share the impact load, which has better reliability than single …
