Description / Table of Contents:
The book gives a general overview of recent approaches to debris flows. Problems of both occurrences and dynamics of debris flow are treated, taking into account new results from theoretical and experimental research and field observations. Finally, the functioning of the main control devices are reconsidered in the light of the state of the art.
Contents: Observation and Measurement for Debris Flow - Introduction, Prediction of Debris Flow for Warning and Evacuation, Large and Small Debris Flows - Occurence and Behaviour, Field Survey for Debris Flow in Volcanic Area.- Dynamics of Debris Flow - Introduction, A Comparison Between Gravity Flows of Dry Sand and Sand-Water Mixtures, Review Dynamic Modeling of Debris Flows, Dynamics of the Inertial and Viscous Debris Flows, Selected Notes on Debris Flow Dynamicss.- Control Measures for Debris Flow - Introduction, Development of New Methods for Countermeasures against Debris Flows, Torrent Check Dams as a Control Measure for Debris Flows, On the Dynamic Impact of Debris Flows.
