Research on Risk Level of Debris Flow in an Area

Abstract:

The research targets at the transition zone from the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau to the Sichuan Basin; it is shown according to field survey: from 2008 to 2010, debris flow occurred twice, resulting in missing of two people, destruction on a lot of farmland and other serious disasters. Such the debris flows were because that the original vegetation was severely damaged after “5.12” earthquake, a lot of loose blocks were scattered in slopes and valleys, and also stimulated by abundant rainfall during rainy season, local steep terrain, as well as narrow valleys. The paper makes qualitative and quantitative evaluation on risk of debris flow within the region by single-valley debris flow risk evaluation method as proposed by Liu Xilin and Tang Chuan et al. it is shown from the results that the risk level H is 0.55, within scope of moderate risk. In case of any adverse conditions, debris flows may occur again.
