Title: How reliable are design avalanche loads? A systematic approach to estimate their uncertainty
Date: 2018-10-07
Authors: Mark Schaer, Katharina Fischer, Stefan Margreth
Description: The assessment of avalanche loads depends partly on well-founded facts such as observed avalanches, but the avalanche expert generally also has to mak...
