Laboratory experiments which consist of releasing dry rigid non-cohesive grains or small bricks on an unconfined chute have been designed to investigate rock avalanche propagation mechanisms and to identify parameters influencing their deposit characterist ...
Several authors have resorted to physical modelling in the field of rock avalanches. After a review of some of these works, the present paper describes tests carried out at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The main goal of these experiments, i ...
Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...
Rock avalanches are catastrophic phenomena which are not yet exhaustively understood. They consist of rock mass movements of more than one million cubic metres, involving a great amount of energy and travelling farther than expected with a normal sliding f ...
