Research on method of extraordinary landslide disaster such as landslide dam induced by a deep-seated landslide

In order to estimate the external force applied by extraordinary debris flow caused by deep-seated landslide, velocity and flowing depth of the debris flow is evaluated through applying the existing debris flow simulation model to previous debris flow disasters. The results of the simulation are also checked by those of laboratory flume tests.

Research on techniques for emergency disaster mitigation against massive sediment discharge induced by pyroclastic flow deposition

Research on high accuracy and user friendly information about sediment disaster warning

Research on susceptibility assessment of earthquake triggered landslide and debris flow
