Quantification of basal friction for technical and silvicultural glide-snow avalanche mitigation measures
A long-standing problem in avalanche engineering is to design defense structures and manage forest stands such that they can withstand the forces of the natural snow cover. In this way, glide-snow avalanches can be prevented. Ground friction plays a crucial role in this process. To verify existing g...
