Abstract
Abstract. The characteristics of exposed built environments have a
significant effect on debris flow impacts on buildings, but knowledge about
their interactions is still limited. This paper presents a sensitivity
analysis on the peak impact forces on a whole building resulting from the
built environment parameters, including the orientation, opening scale of
the target building, and azimuthal angle and distance of surrounding
buildings. The impact forces were obtained from the monophasic viscous
debris flow with a synthetic and simplified hydrograph using the FLOW-3D
model, a computational fluid dynamics approach, verified through the
physical modeling results. The results show that the surrounding buildings'
properties have significant roles in determining the peak impact forces. A
shielding effect or canalization effect, which reduces or increases impact
forces, respectively, can be produced by changing the azimuth angle. A
deflection wall for building protection is recommended according to the
shielding effect. A narrowed flow path, determined by both the azimuth angle and distance, has a significant effect on the variation in impact forces. In
addition, it is concluded that a splitting wedge should be designed
following a criterion of avoiding the highest flow depth – the maximum
approaching angle – appearing near the longest wall element. The protruding parts caused by changing the building's orientation contribute to increasing
impact loads within a shielding area. A limited opening scale effect is
observed on the whole building if there is sufficient time for material
intrusion. The insights gained contribute to a better understanding of
building vulnerability indicators and local migration design against debris
flow hazard.
