An avalanche index for roads
Jonsson, Arni; Kristensen, Krister (Chapter, 2008)Several methods have been introduced through the years to evaluate avalanche risk along road sections. In 1988, Peter Schaerer introduced Avalanche Hazard Index, a numerical expression of damage and loss as the result of ... -
Avalanche risk along a 420 kV transmission line in Iceland
Jonsson, Arni; Bakkehøi, Steinar; Hauksson, Sigurjon (Chapter, 2008)Two transmission lines between Flj6tsdalur and Reyöarfjöröur in northeast Iceland have been investigated conceming snow avalanche hazard. As a basis for the calculations of the return periods of the avalanches, weather and ... -

Rows of vertical steel-silos filled with debris - an effective space-saving avalanche defense structure.
Hestnes, Erik; Jonsson, Arni (Chapter, 2002)Multiplate steel configurations, primarily used for road tunnels and culverts, are introduced as effective, flexible and space-saving avalanche defence structures. Silos of specified height and profile are filled with ... -
"Safe haven" at road sides near avalanche prone sites
Jonsson, Arni (The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)Snow avalanches cause threat to road traffic in mountainous areas in Iceland in wintertime. One or more vehicles are hit by avalanches every year but last year’s no fatal accidents due to snow avalanches have been reported. ...
