Pressure of Snow Avalanches against Buildings
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011The paper aims to analyse the e ects of topography and building position on themagnitude of pressure exerted by snow avalanches against buildings, through a structural backanalysis and numerical uid-dynamics. Studying a real snow avalanche impact occurred in2008 which destroyed a village in Valsavarenche (Aosta Valley - IT), the attention is focused ...

Avalanche occurrence is closely related to the local meteorological conditions which may be quite variable in mountain topography. To investigate these conditions, and to provide information for avalanche forecasting, we designed and built a weather station which is currently relaying information to a base station from a remote site.

Avalanche is a generic word that describes various phenomena. In the case of snow avalanches, this diversity is closely linked to the diversity of properties of materials present within the flow. This is why the study of an avalanche site must be performed by an expert with a good field knowledge.

Actions of snow avalanches on a snow shed
2009The actions of snow avalanches on slightly inclined protection structures like snow sheds are a complex dynamic phenomenon. The impact stresses (normal and tangential) evolve not only in time but also in space. To better understand these actions so as to be able to design such structures, several studies have been conducted.

ABSTRACT After a general introduction to snow avalanches and their consequences, type classification is discussed, and classification schemes based on morphology, genesis and magnitude are described briefly. The first technical section deals with deformation and displacement of snow slopes prior to avalanche release, with the failure process, and ...

Digital Animation of Powder-Snow Avalanches
ACM Transactions on GraphicsPowder-snow avalanches are natural phenomena that result from an instability in the snow cover on a mountain relief. It begins with a dense avalanche core moving fast down the mountain. During its evolution, the snow particles in the avalanche front mix with the air, forming a suspended turbulent cloud of snow dust surrounding the dense snow avalanche.
