Title: Avalanche pressures at the VallÃ©e de la test site: Interaction of avalanches and narrow structures studied with DEM: Date: 2018-10-07; Authors: Michael Kyburz, Betty Sovilla, Johan Gaume, Christophe Ancey; Description: Recent advances in full-scale avalanche measurements have led to a better understanding of the avalanche flow dynamics. However, the processes involve...; Object ID: ISSW2018_P01.5.pdf; Keywords: avalanche, pressure, obstacle, avalanche dynamics, discrete element method.; View additional details about Avalanche pressures at the VallÃ©e de la test site: Interaction of avalanches and narrow structures studied with DEM

Title: Wet snow avalanche simulations to asses flow-obstacle-interactions and potential defense structure designs: Date: 2018-10-07; Authors: Khim B. Khattri, Jan-Thomas Fischer, Michel Jaboyedoff, Shiva P. Pudasaini; Description: Wet snow avalanches move significantly differently to their dry counterpart-snow avalanches or debris flows. Here, based on a newly constructed full-d...; Object ID: ISSW2018_O08.5.pdf; Keywords: two-phase mixture, wet-snow, obstacle-interactions, avalanche jets, flow-overtopping; View additional details about Wet snow avalanche simulations to asses flow-obstacle-interactions and potential defense structure designs

Title: Introduction and Influence of (Large) Existing Buildings on Avalanche Hazard Zoning: Case Study of Flaine: Date: 2016-10-02; Authors: Philippe Berthet-Rambaud, Fanny Bourjaillat; Description: Flaine is a French ski resort developed ex-nihilo since the 60s. In spite of avalanche slopes just above, the different settlements were possible than...; Object ID: ISSW16_O7.01.pdf; Keywords: hazard assessment, obstacle influence, buildings resistance; View additional details about Introduction and Influence of (Large) Existing Buildings on Avalanche Hazard Zoning: Case Study of Flaine

Title: Avalanche Impact Pressure on a Plate-Like Obstacle: Date: 2013-10-07; Authors: Emmanuel THIBERT, Thierry FAUG, HervÃ© BELLOT, Djebar BAROUDI; Description: Snow avalanche impact pressures on the flat surface of an instrumented structure have been quantified by experiments performed at full-scale. An inver...; Object ID: ISSW13_paper_P2-35.pdf; Keywords: avalanche impact pressure, flow obstacle, snow deposition, granular flow, drag coefficient; View additional details about Avalanche Impact Pressure on a Plate-Like Obstacle
