Overview

Debris flows, such as the other dense and hyper-concentrated flows, are among the most frequent and destructive of all geomorphic processes and the damage they cause is often devastating. This book, featuring papers from the First International Conference on Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flows, considers these issues.

Topics of interest include: Mass Wasting and Solid Transport; Slope Failure and Landslides; Sediment, Slurry and Granular flows; Solid Transport within a Streamflow; Hyper-concentrated Flows; Debris-flow Phenomenology and Rheology; Debris-flow Triggering and Mobilisation Mechanisms; Debris Flow Modeling; Debris Flow Disaster Mitigation (structural and non structural measures); Case Studies; Computer Models; Rock Falling Problems; Mechanics of Solid-Liquid-Flows.
