Superelevation Calculation of Debris Flow Climbing Ascending Slopes

الملخص EN

We present a new method for calculating the superelevation of debris flow when it encounters obstacles in the process of flowing.

Our calculation method is based on the Bingham Model for debris flow determination and considers the vertical difference of debris flow velocity and characteristic parameters of debris flow on a hypothetical basis.

Moreover, we conducted an indoor flume experiment to verify the accuracy and reasonability of our calculation method.

The experimental results showed that our method is able to accurately calculate the superelevation of debris flow with a root-mean-square error (16%).

Furthermore, we provide an in-depth example of how our calculation method can be employed.

Ultimately, we conclusively prove that our calculation method can be used for the superelevation calculation of debris flow climbing ascending slopes.

Finally, we provide more exact parameters for debris flow protection engineering.
