On the Destructive Force of Avalanches

Update Item Information
Title On the Destructive Force of Avalanches
Subject Avalanches
Description The avalanche catastrophes of the past years have caused various devastating effects in places where, within the memory of man, no destructive avalanches have occurred. Repeatedly the question arises under what conditions and to what extent are the homesteads, structures, and cultures of the mountain regions imperiled and what construction measures can offer protection against the destructive effect of avalanches.
