Research on lateral distribution features of debris flow velocity and structural optimization of prevention and control works
Former researches indicate that the distribution of debris flow velocity is laterally asymmetrical. Due to a lack of a theoretical basis on it, velocity and load have to be calculated on uniform state advised by current design regulations when the debris flow dam and drainage canal are designed. It is different to the practical status, which may lead to the engineering failure due to the poor partial stability. Therefore, based on deposition-erosion equilibrium, isotropic fluid hypothesis and reasonable simplification for debris flow's gully cross-section, the nonlinearity features of debris flow velocity's lateral distribution was proposed by deducting the deducing process of the velocity calculation formula at any cross-section. With the instance analysis of debris flow mitigation and control work at earthquake-stricken areas in Lixian, Sichuan province, we found that the debris flow velocity at channel line is triple the one at either side, and conducted the structural optimization design for debris dam on the premise of ensuring its function, reducing the risk of the dam break and instability of debris dam, which would rise the dam stability coefficient by 20%, and save the engineering cost by 5%.
