Inferring Dynamic Fragmentation Through the Particle Size and Shape Distribution of a Rock Avalanche

Journal of Geophysical Research - Earth Surface, 2022
On 28 August 2017, a large catastrophic rock avalanche occurred in Nayong, Guizhou Province, China. It claimed 35 lives and caused large property losses.

High mobility of the channelized ancient Linka rock avalanche within the Bangong - Nujiang suture zone, SE Tibetan Plateau

, 2021
Large rock avalanches often result in loss of life and catastrophic damage to infrastructure far from their initial failure positions, predominantly due to their tremendous volumes, high velocities and long runouts.

Rock Avalanches onto Glaciers

2015
The chapter looks mainly at massive rock slope failures that generate high-speed, long-runout rock avalanches onto glaciers in high mountains, from subpolar through tropical latitudes. Drastic modifications of mountain landscapes and destructive impacts occur, and initiate other, longer-term hazards.

Dynamic process of rock avalanche and dynamic interaction between rock avalanche and hazard-bearing bodies

Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021
To simulate the dynamic behavior of rock avalanche against hazard-bearing bodies, an indoor small-scale physical model test apparatus was established, and then, the influence of retaining wall height on the velocity and accumulation form of rock avalanche was analyzed.

Rock Avalanches

2018
Abstract Rock avalanches are very large (greater than about 1 million m3) landslides from rock slopes, which can travel much farther than smaller events; the larger the avalanche, the greater the travel distance. Rock avalanches first became recognized in Switzerland in the 19th century, when the Elm and Goldau events killed many ...

Fragmentation energy in rock avalanches

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2006
Fragmentation is one of the mechanisms involved in rock avalanches. Quantifying the associated energy during a rock avalanche can help to assess the influence of fragmentation on post-failure mass movements. In this paper, in situ block size distributions of the intact rock mass and the debris deposits are presented and analyzed for nine rock ...
