Debris flows are one of the most complex and devastating natural phenomena, and they affect mountainous areas throughout the world. Structural measures are currently adopted to mitigate the related hazard in urbanized areas. However, their design requires an estimate of the impact force, which is an open issue. The numerous formulae proposed in the literature require the assignment of empirical coefficients and an evaluation of the kinematic characteristics of the incoming flow. Both are generally not known a priori. In this article, we present the Grand Valey torrent site (Italian Alps). A monitoring system made up of strain gauges was installed on a filter barrier at the site, allowing the evaluation of impact forces. The system provides pivotal information for calibrating impact formulae. Two debris flows occurred during the monitoring period. We present the interpretation of videos, impact measurements, and the results of numerical analyses. The combined analysis allows a back calculation of the events in terms of forces, flow depth, and velocity. Thus, we investigate the applicability of the impact formulae suggested in the literature and of the recommended empirical coefficients. The results highlight that hydrostatic effects dominated the impact during the first event, while hydrodynamic effects prevailed in the second one.
泥石流是最复杂和最具破坏性的自然现象之一,它影响着世界各地的山区。目前正在采取结构性措施减轻城市化地区的相关危害。然而,它们的设计需要估计冲击力,这是一个悬而未决的问题。文献中提出的许多公式都需要分配经验系数和评估来流的运动特性。两者通常都不是先天已知的。在这篇文章中,我们提出了大峡谷激流网站(意大利阿尔卑斯山)。在现场的过滤屏障上安装了一个由应变计组成的监测系统,可以评估冲击力。该系统为校正冲击公式提供了关键信息。监测期间共发生两次泥石流。我们介绍了视频的解释、影响测量和数值分析的结果。组合分析允许在力、流深和速度方面对事件进行反向计算。因此,我们研究了文献中建议的影响公式和推荐的经验系数的适用性。结果表明,在第一次撞击中,流体静力效应占主导地位,而在第二次撞击中,流体动力效应占主导地位。

Laboratory experiments on granular flows remain essential tools for gaining insight into several aspects of granular dynamics that are inaccessible from field-scale investigations. Here, we report an experimental campaign on steady dry granular flows in a flume with inclination of 35°. Different flow rates are investigated by adjusting an inflow gate, while various kinematic boundary conditions are observed by varying the basal roughness. The flume is instrumented with high-speed cameras and a no-flicker LED lamp to get reliable particle image velocimetry measurements in terms of both time averages and second-order statistics (i.e., granular temperature). The same measuring instruments are also used to obtain concurrent estimations of the solid volume fraction at the sidewall by employing the stochastic-optical method (SOM). This innovative approach uses a measurable quantity, called two-dimensional volume fraction, which is correlated with the near-wall volume fraction and is obtainable from digital images under controlled illumination conditions. The knowledge of this quantity allows the indirect measurement of the near-wall volume fraction thanks to a stochastic transfer function previously obtained from numerical simulations of distributions of randomly dispersed spheres. The combined measurements of velocity and volume fraction allow a better understanding of the flow dynamics and reveal the superposition of different flow regimes along the flow depth, where frictional and collisional mechanisms exhibit varying relative magnitudes.
颗粒流动的实验室实验仍然是深入了解颗粒动力学几个方面的重要工具,这些方面是现场调查无法实现的。在这里,我们报告了一个实验运动稳定干颗粒流在水槽倾斜35°。通过调节入流闸门来研究不同的流量,而通过改变基底粗糙度来观察不同的运动边界条件。水槽配备了高速摄像机和无闪烁LED灯,以获得可靠的粒子图像测速测量,包括时间平均值和二阶统计量(即颗粒温度)。采用相同的测量仪器,采用随机光学法(SOM)对侧壁处的固体体积分数进行了同步估计。这种创新的方法使用了一个可测量的量,称为二维体积分数,它与近壁体积分数相关,并且可以在受控照明条件下从数字图像中获得。由于之前从随机分散球体分布的数值模拟中获得了随机传递函数,因此对这个量的了解可以间接测量近壁体积分数。速度和体积分数的组合测量可以更好地理解流动动力学,并揭示沿流动深度不同流动形式的叠加,其中摩擦和碰撞机制表现出不同的相对量级。

This study assessed the performance of residual soils with regard to their macrostructural and microstructural properties and compatibility with leachate in pursuit of exploring alternative cost-effective and efficient landfill liner materials. A series of laboratory investigations was conducted on three residual soil samples by using tap water and leachate as permeation fluid to achieve the objectives of the study. The zeta potential measurements revealed that the presence of multivalent cations in the leachate decreased the diffuse double layer (DDL) thickness around the soil particles. The reduced DDL thickness caused a decrease in Atterberg limits of soil-leachate samples and changes in the classification of fine fractions. Additionally, the effects of pore clogging attributed to chemical precipitation and bioclogging were responsible for the reduction in measured hydraulic conductivities of soil-leachate samples. These effects can be clearly observed from the field-emission scanning electron microscopy images of soil-leachate samples with the appearance of less visible voids that led to a more compact and dense structure. The formation of new non-clay minerals and associated changes in the Al and Si ratio as reflected in the x-ray diffraction diffractograms and energy-dispersive x-ray analyses, respectively, were attributed to the effects of chemical precipitation. This study concluded that S1 and S2 residual soil samples are potential landfill liner materials because they possess adequate grading characteristics, adequate unconfined compressive strength, low hydraulic conductivity, and good compatibility with leachate. In contrast, the S3 sample requires further treatment to enhance its properties in order to comply with the requirements of landfill liner materials.
本研究评估了残留土壤的宏观结构和微观结构特性以及与渗滤液的相容性,以探索具有成本效益和效率的垃圾填埋场衬垫材料。为了达到研究目的,我们以自来水和渗滤液为渗透液,对3个残土样品进行了一系列的实验室调查。zeta电位测量结果表明,渗滤液中多价阳离子的存在降低了土壤颗粒周围扩散双层(DDL)的厚度。DDL厚度的减小导致土壤渗滤液样品的阿特伯格极限降低,细组分分类发生变化。此外,由化学沉淀和生物堵塞引起的孔隙堵塞是导致土壤渗滤液样品水力电导率降低的原因。这些影响可以从土壤渗滤液样品的场发射扫描电子显微镜图像中清楚地观察到,这些图像中出现了不太明显的空隙,导致结构更加紧凑和致密。在x射线衍射图和能量色散x射线分析中,新的非粘土矿物的形成以及Al和Si比值的变化分别归因于化学沉淀的影响。本研究认为S1和S2残土样品具有良好的级配特性、足够的无侧限抗压强度、低的水力导率以及与渗滤液的良好相容性,是潜在的填埋场衬垫材料。相比之下,S3样品需要进一步处理以增强其性能,以符合填埋场衬垫材料的要求。

Regional-scale assessments for debris-flow and debris-flood propagation and avulsion on fans can be challenging. Geomorphological mapping based on aerial or satellite imagery requires substantial field verification effort. Surface evidence of past events may be obfuscated by development or obscured by repeat erosion or debris inundation, and trenching may be required to record the sedimentary architecture and date past events. This paper evaluates a methodology for debris-flow and debris-flood susceptibility mapping at regional scale based on a combination of digital elevation model (DEM) metrics to identify potential debris source zones and flow propagation modeling using the Flow-R code that is calibrated through comparison to mapped alluvial fans. The DEM metrics enable semi-automated identification and preliminary, process-based classification of streams prone to debris flow and debris flood. Flow-R is a susceptibility mapping tool that models potential flow inundation based on a combination of spreading and runout algorithms considering DEM topography and empirical propagation parameters. The methodology is first evaluated at locations where debris-flow and debris-flood hazards have been previously assessed based on field mapping and detailed numerical modeling. It is then applied over a 125,000 km2 area in southern British Columbia, Canada. The motivation for the application of this methodology is that it represents an objective and repeatable approach to susceptibility mapping, which can be integrated in a debris-flow and debris-flood risk prioritization framework at regional scale to support risk management decisions.
区域尺度的泥石流、泥石流传播和扇上的崩解评估是具有挑战性的。基于航空或卫星图像的地貌测绘需要大量的实地验证工作。过去事件的地表证据可能会被开发或被重复侵蚀或碎片淹没所掩盖,并且可能需要沟槽来记录沉积结构和确定过去事件的日期。本文评估了一种基于数字高程模型(DEM)指标组合的区域尺度泥石流和泥石流易感性制图方法,以识别潜在的碎屑源区域,并使用flow - r代码进行流传播建模,该代码通过与绘制的冲积扇进行比较来校准。DEM指标可以实现半自动识别和初步的、基于过程的分类,这些分类容易发生泥石流和泥石流。flow - r是一种敏感性制图工具,它基于扩展和跳动算法的结合,考虑DEM地形和经验传播参数,对潜在的水流淹没进行建模。该方法首先在泥石流和泥石流洪水灾害已经根据实地测绘和详细数值模拟评估过的地点进行评估。然后将其应用于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省南部12.5万平方公里的区域。应用该方法的动机是,它代表了一种客观和可重复的易感性绘图方法,可以将其集成到区域尺度的泥石流和泥石流洪水风险优先排序框架中,以支持风险管理决策。

Sinkholes are common surface manifestations of the presence of networks of subsurface caverns in areas where the bedrock geology is dominated by soluble rocks such as limestones. Accurate mapping of sinkholes is crucial as they are hazardous to transportation infrastructure and may serve as conduits of contaminants to the groundwater. The use of high-resolution digital elevation models extracted from LiDAR and tools in ArcGIS have made it a simple task to automate the process of identification of closed depressions. However, these automated methods do not differentiate between sinkholes and other man-made depressions. Multivariate statistical methods such as linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, and logistic regression were used to produce predictive models based on selected shape factor values such as circularity, sphericity, and curvature. Curvature values, especially when combined with circularity, were found to be the most powerful variables in separating closed depressions into sinkholes and other artificial depressions.
在基岩地质以石灰石等可溶性岩石为主的地区,天坑是地下洞穴网络存在的常见地表表现。天坑的精确测绘是至关重要的,因为它们对交通基础设施有害,并可能成为地下水污染物的管道。利用激光雷达提取的高分辨率数字高程模型和ArcGIS中的工具,自动识别封闭洼地的过程变得很简单。然而,这些自动化方法无法区分天坑和其他人为凹陷。采用多元统计方法,如线性判别分析、二次判别分析和逻辑回归等,根据圆度、球度和曲率等选定的形状因子值建立预测模型。曲率值,特别是与圆度相结合时,被发现是将封闭凹陷划分为天坑和其他人工凹陷的最有力变量。

Debris-flow events often comprise a sequence of surges, sometimes termed “roll waves.” The reason for this surging behavior is still a matter of debate. Explanations include the growth of hydraulic instabilities, periodic sediment deposition and release, or grain size sorting. High-resolution field measurements together with triggering rainfall characteristics are rare. We present results for 3 years of monitoring debris-flow events at Lattenbach Creek in the western part of Austria. The monitoring system includes a weather station in the headwaters of the creek, radar sensors for measuring flow depth at different locations along the channel, as well as a two-dimensional rotational laser sensor installed over a fixed cross section that yields a three-dimensional surface model of the passing debris-flow event. We find that the debris flows at Lattenbach Creek were all triggered by rainstorms of less than 2 hours and exhibited surges for each observed event. The velocities of the surges were up to twice as high as the front velocity. Often, the first surges that included boulders and woody debris had the highest flow depth and discharge and showed an irregular geometry. The shape of the surges in the second half of the flow, which carried smaller grain sizes and less woody debris, were rather regular and showed a striking geometric similarity, but still high velocities. The results of our monitoring efforts aim to improve our understanding of the surging behavior of debris flows and provide data for model testing for the scientific community.
泥石流事件通常包括一系列的涌浪,有时被称为“翻滚波”。这种行为激增的原因仍然是一个有争议的问题。解释包括水力不稳定性的增长,周期性沉积物沉积和释放,或粒度分选。高分辨率现场测量和触发降雨特征是罕见的。本文介绍了奥地利西部拉滕巴赫河3年泥石流事件监测结果。监测系统包括一个位于小溪源头的气象站,用于测量河道不同位置水流深度的雷达传感器,以及安装在固定截面上的二维旋转激光传感器,该传感器可产生经过的泥石流事件的三维表面模型。研究发现,Lattenbach Creek的泥石流都是由小于2小时的暴雨引发的,每次观测都表现出涌浪现象。浪涌的速度高达锋面速度的两倍。通常,包括巨石和木屑在内的第一次涌浪具有最高的水流深度和流量,并呈现不规则的几何形状。流的后半部分的浪涌携带较小的颗粒尺寸和较少的木质碎屑,其形状相当规则,并显示出惊人的几何相似性,但速度仍然很高。我们监测工作的结果旨在提高我们对泥石流激增行为的理解,并为科学界的模型测试提供数据。

The internal deformation behavior of natural debris flows is of interest for model development and model testing for debris-flow hazard mitigation. Up to now, only a view attempts were made to measure velocity profiles in natural debris flows due to low predictability and high destructive power of these flows. In this contribution we present recent advances of measuring in-situ velocity profiles together with flow parameters like flow depth, basal normal stress, and pore fluid pressure. For that a fin-shaped monitoring barrier was constructed in the Gadria creek (IT), laterally carrying an array of paired conductivity sensors. We present results from two debris-flow events with volumes of around 5,000 m3 each. Compared to the first event on July 10th, 2017, the second event on August 19th, 2017, was visually more liquid. Both debris flows exhibited significant longitudinal changes of flow properties like flow depth and density. The liquefaction ratios reached values up to unity in some sections of the flows. Velocity profiles for the July event were mostly concave up, while the profiles for the more liquid event in August were linear to convex. Though limited by boundary roughness at the wall and occasional sediment deposition on the force plates and pressure sensors, these measurements gain new insights of the dynamics of real-scale debris flows.
自然泥石流的内部变形行为对泥石流灾害缓解的模型开发和模型试验具有重要意义。由于自然泥石流的可预见性低,破坏力大,迄今为止,对其速度剖面的测量只进行了初步的尝试。在这篇文章中,我们介绍了测量现场速度剖面和流动参数(如流动深度、基底法向应力和孔隙流体压力)的最新进展。为此,在Gadria河(IT)中建造了一个鳍形监测屏障,横向携带一对电导率传感器阵列。我们介绍了两个泥石流事件的结果,每个事件的体积约为5000立方米。与2017年7月10日的第一次活动相比,2017年8月19日的第二次活动在视觉上更具流动性。两种泥石流在纵向上都表现出明显的流深、流密度等流动特性变化。在流动的某些部分,液化比达到了一致的值。7月事件的速度曲线大部分呈上凹型,而8月流动性更强的事件的速度曲线则呈线性到凸型。尽管受到壁面边界粗糙度和偶尔在力板和压力传感器上的沉积物沉积的限制,这些测量结果获得了对真实尺度泥石流动力学的新见解。
