Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides and debris flows belong to the most dangerous natural hazards in many parts of the world. Despite intensive research, these events continue to result in human suffering, property losses, and environmental degradation every year. Better understanding of the mechanisms and processes of landslides and debris flows will help make reliable predictions, develop mitigation strategies and reduce vulnerability of infrastructure. This book presents contributions to the workshop on Recent Developments in the Analysis, Monitoring and Forecast of Landslides and Debris Flow, in Vienna, Austria, September 9, 2013. The contributions cover a broad spectrum of topics from material behavior, physical modelling over numerical simulation to applications and case studies. The workshop is a joint event of three research projects funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program: MUMOLADE (Multiscale modelling of landslides and debris flows, www.mumolade.com), REVENUES (Numerical Analysis of Slopes with Vegetations, http://www.revenues-eu.com) and HYDRODRIL (Integrated Risk Assessment of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides, www.boku.ac.at/igt/).

Book excerpt: Debris flows are among the most frequent and destructive of all geomorphic processes, mainly affecting mountainous areas in a range of morphoclimatic environments, and the damage they cause is often devastating. Increased anthropisation calls for improvements in the criteria used to identify debris-flow risk areas and the prevention measures adopted. One of the main difficulties encountered by the approaches illustrated in previous literature is linked to their possible validation either in the field or in a laboratory environment. The choice of a rheological model is extremely important. This book provides methodological details, which can be applied to investigations on debris-flow mechanics, capable of providing an accurate representation of the phenomenology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: This book provides a summary of the state of the art of all facets of debris-flow science and practice and is designed to be a comprehensive technical reference for practitioners and a state-of-the-art research overview for scientists. It is richly illustrated with equations, graphs, photos, and tables. The book allows students, practitioners, and regulators to get a sense of the current state of the art in this science. Currently, there are 2 to 3 papers published every week on some aspects of debris-flow science. This creates a bewildering amount of literature that cannot be captured by a single individual. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all facets to date, including initial hazard assessments, detailed quantitative risk assessments, debris-flow warning systems, debris-flow mitigation structure designs, and failures of mitigation works, as well as new topics such as climate change effects on debris flows

Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 21st century, global environmental problems have become increasingly prominent, and extreme weather events have become more frequent. The irrational development and excessive construction of underground space have also led to various disasters, such as landslides, collapses, debris flows, and ground collapses. According to the data released in the National Geological Disaster Bulletin, 133899 geological disasters have occurred in China from 2009 to 2019, of which landslides accounted for 71%, collapses for 19%, and debris flows for 8%, and ground collapses for 2%. The number of casualties and economic losses caused by rock and soil disasters are the greatest in the world. Therefore, a good understanding of disaster-causing mechanisms of rock and soil has a strong theoretical and practical significance for the safe construction of diversified geotechnical projects.

This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in many countries. In recent years there have been numerous debris flow avalanches in Southern Europe, South America and the Indian Subcontinent, resulting in major catastrophes and large loss of life. This is therefore a major high-profile problem for the world's governments and for the engineers and scientists concerned. Matthias Jakob and Oldrich Hungr are ideally suited to edit this book. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial governments. Oldrich Hungr has worked on site investigations on debris flow, avalanches and rockfall, with emphasis on slope stability analysis and evaluation of risks to roads in built-up areas. He has also developed mathematical models for landslide dynamic analysis. They have invited world-renowned experts to joint them in this book.
