Numerical model for the prediction of total dynamic landslide forces on flexible barriers

Physical barriers are effective tools in the mitigation of landslide hazards. Numerous case histories have been reported where flexible barriers have successfully contained debris flows, and more recently debris avalanches up to 10,000 m3. The current limitation in the design of such measures is qua...
