Title: Fracture Toughness for Dry Slab Avalanches: Date: 2002; Authors: David M. McClung; Description: Dry slab avalanches release by propagating shear fractures. Since alpine snow is a quasi-brittle strain softening material, it is implied that fractur...; Object ID: issw-2002-304-306.pdf; Keywords: fracture, dry slab avalanche; View additional details about Fracture Toughness for Dry Slab Avalanches

Title: Storm and Weather Factors Related to Dry Slab Avalanche Activity: Date: 1998; Authors: Robert E. Davis, Kelly Elder, Daniel Howlett, Eddy Bouzaglou; Description: Storm cycle factors affect slab avalanche response primarily in terms of loading in starting zones. Wind velocity and supply of transportable snow, re...; Object ID: issw-1998-025-034.pdf; Keywords: avalanche, avalanche forecasting, snow accumulation, snow cover stability; View additional details about Storm and Weather Factors Related to Dry Slab Avalanche Activity

Title: Contribution on the Role of Deficit Zones or Imperfections in Dry Snow Slab Avalanche Release: Date: 1998; Authors: Jurg Schweizer; Description: Dry snow slab avalanche formation starts with failure in the weak layer underlying the slab. The stress has to locally exceed the strength that strong...; Object ID: issw-1998-489-501.pdf; Keywords: snow mechanics, avalanche mechanics, avalanche release; View additional details about Contribution on the Role of Deficit Zones or Imperfections in Dry Snow Slab Avalanche Release

Title: Dry-Slab Density and Thickness During Major Storms: Date: 1996; Authors: Art Mears; Description: Observations of forest destruction throughout various snow climates suggest that design avalanches (=100-year return periods) usually result from frac...; Object ID: issw-1996-091-093.pdf; Keywords: avalanche, design-avalanche, slab, densities, thickness; View additional details about Dry-Slab Density and Thickness During Major Storms

Title: Bridal Veil Falls Avalanche 1996: Date: 1996; Authors: Kevin Griffith; Description: Bridal Veil Falls avalanche path released January 31, 1996.The resulting avalanche ran down to and across the floor of Provo Canyon. It continued up t...; Object ID: issw-1996-271-275.pdf; Keywords: airblast, crown face, dry slab avalanche, highway, slidepath; View additional details about Bridal Veil Falls Avalanche 1996

Title: Dry Slab Avalanches Triggered by Skiers: Date: 1990; Authors: JÃ¼rg Schweizer; Description: Most skiers buried and killed in a slab avalanche triggered "their" avalanche themselves. Avalanche forecasting should reflect this fact. In times of...; Object ID: issw-1990-307-309.pdf; Keywords: stability, forecasting, rutschblock test, skiing, dry slab; View additional details about Dry Slab Avalanches Triggered by Skiers
