    Time-resolved triggering and runout analysis of rainfall-induced shallow landslides

    Rainfall-induced shallow landslides often turn into flows. These phenomena occur worldwide and pose severe hazard to infrastructure and human lives on mountainous areas. Risk assessment, and the design of miti...

    Coriolis-induced instabilities in centrifuge modeling of granular flow

    Granular flows are typically studied in laboratory flumes based on common similarity scaling, which create stress fields that only roughly approximate field conditions. The geotechnical centrifuge produces str...

    The force exerted by granular flows on slit dams

    Boulders often accumulate at the fronts of fast-flowing steep creek hazards. To trap these boulders, slit dams are commonly installed along steep creeks. An outstanding challenge when designing such dams lies ...

    Results of Back-Analysis of the Propagation of Rock Avalanches as a Function of the Assumed Rheology

    Numerical simulation can provide a useful tool for investigating the dynamics of phenomena like rock avalanches, within realistic geological contexts and in the framework of a better risk assessment and decisi...
