Experiments on the flow behaviour of granular materials at high velocity in an open channel
Download1984
A series of laboratory flume experiments has been conducted to investigate the flow behaviour of dry sand at high velocities. The first incentive for this experimental programme was an attempt to explain the high mobility of apparently dry masses of rapidly moving broken rock during rock...

Ring shear tests on sand materials have been carried out to show whether there is a change in the behaviour of these materials at high shearing rates and normal stresses. This question is relevant to the problem of the mobility of large rock avalanches (stürzstroms), but is also of more general...
