About the Book

Debris and hyper-concentrated flows are among the most destructive of all water related disasters. They affect both rural and urban areas in a wide range of morpho-climatic environments, and in recent years have attracted more and more attention from the scientific and professional communities and concern from the public due to the death toll they claim. The increased frequency of these natural hazards, coupled with climatic change predictions and urban development, suggests that they are set to worsen in the future. This book contains the edited versions of the papers presented at the third International conference on Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flow. The Conference brought together engineers, scientists and managers from across the globe to discuss the latest scientific advances in the field of dense and hyper-concentrated flows, as well as to improve models, assess risk, develop hazard maps based on model results and to design prevention and mitigation measures.The papers have been organised into the following sections: Debris Flow Modelling; Debris Flow Triggering; Risk Assessment and Hazard Mitigation; Sediment Transport and Debris Flow Monitoring & Analysis.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Debris flow modelling Mechanical and fluid-dynamic behaviour of debris and hyper-concentrated flows: overview and challenges; One-dimensional finite volume simulation of real debris flow events; Debris flow modelling accounting for large boulder transport; New formulas for the motion resistance of debris flows; Rheological behaviour of pyroclastic debris flow Section 2: Debris flow triggering The triggered mechanism of typhoon-induced debris flows and landslides over mainland China; Debris flow occurrences in Rio dos Cedros, Southern Brazil: meteorological and geomorphic aspects; Soil moisture retrieval with remote sensing images for debris flow forecast in humid regions; Debris flow induced by glacial lake break in southeast Tibet; Experience with treatment of road structure landslides by innovative methods of deep drainage; Technical protection measures against natural hazards taken by the Austrian Federal Service for Torrent, Erosion and Avalanche Control Section 3: Risk assessment and hazard mitigation The distribution of debris flows and debris flow hazards in southeast China; Evaluation of sediment yield from valley slopes: a case study; Shallow landslide full-scale experiments in combination with testing of a flexible barrier; Landslide in a catchment area of a torrent and the consequences for the technical mitigation concept; Regional methods for shallow landslide hazard evaluation: a comparison between Italy and Central America Section 4: Sediment transport and debris flow monitoring and analysis Special session organised by Daniele De Wrachien, Gian Battista Bischetti, Francesco Gentile & Luca Mao Erosion and sediment transport modelling in Northern Puglia watersheds; Restoration of a degraded torrential stream by means of a flood control system: the case of Arroyo del Partido stream (Spain); The effects of large wood elements during an extreme flood in a small tropical basin of Costa Rica; Rheological properties and debris-flow modeling in a southern Italy watershed; Formation, expansion and restoration of a sedimentation fan: the case of the Arroyo del Partido stream (Spain); Dynamics of changes of bed load outflow from a small glacial catchment (West Spitsbergen)
