Numerical Simulation of Failure Behavior of Granular Debris Flows Based on Flume Model Tests

In this study, the failure behaviors of debris flows were studied by flume model tests with artificial rainfall and numerical simulations (PFC3D). Model tests revealed that grain sizes distribution had profound effects on failure mode, and the failure in slope of medium sand started with cracks at c...
