Webinar: Insights on Debris Flow Growth: Collisions and Contractile Skins
The HKGES and the HKIE Geotechnical Division would like to invite the members of Australian Geomechanics Society to join the webinar Insights on Debris Flow Growth: Collisions and Contractile Skins by Dr Clarence E. Choi. Download the flyer Abstract Debris flows are perhaps the most unique type of landslide because of their ability to grow several orders of magnitude in size from initiation to deposition. In this study, a review of existing theoretical, experimental, and field data on debris flow erosion is carried out. New insight and scaling is proposed to highlight the importance of collisional and capillary stresses on the erosion process. The proposed scaling is evaluated using unique physical model tests. Collisional stress induced by the flow on…
