Wet-snow avalanche interaction with a deflecting dam: field observations and numerical simulations in a case study
In avalanche-prone areas, deflecting dams are widely used to divert avalanches away from endangered objects. In recent years, their effectiveness has been questioned when several large and multiple avalanches have overrun such dams. <br><br> In 2008, we were able to obser...
