Developing a risk assessment model for typhoon-triggered debris flows

Developing a risk assessment model for typhoon-triggered debris flows A methodology is developed for interactive risk assessment of physical infrastructure and spatially distributed response systems subjected to debris flows. The proposed framework is composed of three components, namely geotechnical engineering, geographical information systems and disaster management. With the integration of slope stability analysis, hazard scenario and susceptibility, geological conditions are considered as temporary static data, while meteorological conditions are treated as dynamic data with a focus on typhoons. In this research, the relevant parameters required for database building are defined, and the procedures for building the geological database and meteorological data sets are explained. Based on the concepts and data sets, Nantou and Hualien in Taiwan are used as the areas for case studies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Mountain Science Springer Journals

Abstract

A methodology is developed for interactive risk assessment of physical infrastructure and spatially distributed response systems subjected to debris flows. The proposed framework is composed of three components, namely geotechnical engineering, geographical information systems and disaster management. With the integration of slope stability analysis, hazard scenario and susceptibility, geological conditions are considered as temporary static data, while meteorological conditions are treated as dynamic data with a focus on typhoons. In this research, the relevant parameters required for database building are defined, and the procedures for building the geological database and meteorological data sets are explained. Based on the concepts and data sets, Nantou and Hualien in Taiwan are used as the areas for case studies.
