Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flows II (Wit Transactions on Engineering Sciences

by C.A. Brebbia

The Second International Conference on Debris Flow, papers from which this
book is comprised, provided a forum for engineers, scientists and managers
from laboratories, industries, governments and academia to exchange knowledge and expertise in the fields of erosion and slope instability, sediment transport, debris flow and debris flood data acquisition, debris flow phenomenology and laboratory tests, using the most advanced, state-of-the-art methodologies in monitoring, modelling, mechanics, hazard
prediction and risk assessment.

Papers have been grouped into the following subject Debris flow
modelling; Debris flow phenomenology; Debris flow mobilization; Debris flow
disaster mitigation; Case studies; Debris flow rheology and laboratory
tests; Debris flow and landslide phenomena; Debris and hyper- concentrated flows; Structures and their effects on debris flow; Problems and mechanics of solid-liquid flows; Shape failure and landslides.
