Comments on avalanche flow models based on the concept of random kinetic energy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)In a series of papers, Bartelt and co-workers developed novel snow-avalanche models in which random kinetic energy RK (a.k.a. granular temperature) is a key concept. The earliest models were for a single, constant density ... -
Direct Simple Shear Tests on Snow and their Relation to Slab Avalanche Formation
(Journal article, 1977)Many slab avalanches can be attributed to shear failure in a weak, thin basal layer at the slab base. A reasonable starting point for evaluation of the conditions prior to fracture is, therefore, an investigation of shear ... -
Empirical Calculations of Snow–Avalanche Run–out Distance Based on Topographic Parameters
(Journal article, 1980)A method for calculation of “maximum” avalanche run–out distance based on topographic parameters only is described. 423 well–known avalanches have had their maximum extent registered. The average gradient of avalanche path ... -

Snow Pressure on Rigid Obstacles
(Journal article, 1976)In this paper a continuum mechanical formulation of snow pressure is given. The snow pressure against retaining structures on slopes is considered in two separate parts: (1) the static component due to the regression of ...
