Flexible net rockfall catchment fences are one tool available to engineers for mitigating rockfall events. These systems have been in use for decades around the world with a rather impressive performance record. Though the basic concept of the systems has remained relatively unchanged during this time, the specifics of the fences have become more advanced, […]
Some exciting research is being conducted at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in the field of debris flow dynamics. The program is part of a theme-based research scheme project entitled understanding debris flow mechanisms and mitigating risks for a sustainable Hong Kong (T22-603/15N) that is being developed by Professor Charles W.W. Ng […]
