Abstract:The risk of artificial dam failure associated with volcaniclastic flows has been investigated. Hazardous volcanoes with a high possibility of imminent eruptions can be distinguished from other volcanoes by detailed studies of the last 10,000-year-eraption histories of the volcanoes in Japan. Most andesitic volcanoes in Japan have erupted periodically, once in 100 to 3000 years on average, and have sometimes generated volcaniclastic flows (pyroclastic flows, debris avalanches and debris flows) which have affect… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
