Title: | Large-scale physical modelling study of a flexible barrier under the impact of granular flows | Authors: | Tan, DY Yin, JH Feng, WQ Qin, JQ Zhu, ZH |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Natural hazards and earth system sciences, Oct. 2018, v. 18, no. 10, p. 2625-2640 | Abstract: | Flexible barriers are being increasingly applied to mitigate the danger of debris flows. However, how barriers can be better designed to withstand the impact loads of debris flows is still an open question in natural hazard engineering. Here we report an improved large-scale physical modelling device and the results of two consecutive large-scale granular flow tests using this device to study how flexible barriers react under the impact of granular flows. In the study, the impact force directly on the flexible barrier and the impact force transferred to the supporting structures are measured, calculated, and compared. Based on the comparison, the impact loading attenuated by the flexible barrier is quantified. The hydro-dynamic approaches with different dynamic coefficients and the hydro-static approach are validated using the measured impact forces. | Publisher: | Copemicus Gesellschaften | Journal: | Natural hazards and earth system sciences | ISSN: | 1561-8633 | EISSN: | 1684-9981 | DOI: | 10.5194/nhess-18-2625-2018 | Rights: | © Author(s) 2018.
