Dimensionless Assessment Method of Landslide Dam Formation Caused by Tributary Debris Flow Events by Kun-Ting Chen, Xiao-Qing Chen, Gui-Sheng Hu, Yu-Shu Kuo, Yan-Rong Huang, Chjeng-Lun Shieh

“…In this study, we develop a dimensionless assessment method to evaluate landslide dam formation by considering the relationship between the run-out distance of a tributary debris flow and the width of the main stream, deposition thickness of the tributary debris flow, and the water depth of the main stream. Based on the theory of debris flow run-out distance and fan formation, landslide dam formation may result from a tributary debris flow as a result of two concurrent formation processes: (1) the run-out distance of the tributary debris flow must be greater than the width of the main stream, and (2) the minimum deposition thickness of the tributary debris flow must be higher than the in situ water depth of the main stream. …”
