A Study on Scouring Laws downstream of Debris Flow Sabo Dams

Debris flow sabo dam is one of the most widely used debris flow control engineering. Its stability and safety operation is a key to controlling the effect of hazard prevention and avoiding secondary hazard. Because of the particularity of debris flow, it's very hard to observe the process and morphology directly by field investigation. Although the scouring depth calculation method in hydraulic engineering provide an idea for debris flow sabo dam, but it can't be used directly for the calculation of scouring depth downstream of debris flow sabo dams and foundation designation of the control engineering. This paper analyzed the influence factors of scouring laws downstream of debris flow sabo dams and the research status home and abroad. It suggests studying the scouring process and laws downstream of debris flow sabo dams by theoretical analysis, mechanical analysis and energy method combined with simulation experiments, establishing quantitative relationship between the scouring laws, limited depth, morphology, sediment transportation characteristics and the feature parameters of debris flow.
