Lessons learned from protective measures associated with the 2010 Zhouqu debris flow disaster in China

Wang, G. - In: Natural Hazards 69 (2013) 3, pp. 1835-1847

On August 7 and 8, 2010, a catastrophic debris flow disaster occurred in Zhouqu County in northwestern China’s Gansu Province. The large-scale debris flow event destroyed more than 200 buildings, killing approximately 1,700 people. Field investigations showed that the debris flow disaster was...

simulations and flume experiments. Debris-flow trapping due to driftwood jamming in a slit-check dam was also investigated. A …-flow fan were consistent with experimental flume results. The jamming of driftwood in a slit-check dam was evaluated based on … geometry and probability. The simulated results of outflow discharge and the proportion of driftwood passed through the slit-check …
