The phrase "avalanche protection" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to safety measures or systems designed to prevent or mitigate the effects of avalanches.
Example: "The ski resort has implemented advanced avalanche protection measures to ensure the safety of its visitors."
Alternatives: "avalanche safety measures" or "avalanche defense systems".
This paper focuses on avalanche protection galleries.
The avalanche protection afforded by Swiss forests exemplifies the former.
The results imply that slushflows have to be considered when choosing a design criteria for avalanche protection measures wherever this kind of flows can occur.
This paper proposes a new method for designing avalanche protection nets based on the mechanical balance of cable structures, inspired by the mechanics of solids.
In contrast, at a larger scale, forests with continuous cover are preferred because of their safety benefits for avalanche protection (Bebi et al. 2009) and protection from landslides (Dhakal and Sidle 2003; Noguchi et al. 2011).
This paper deals with a new method for designing avalanche protection nets, based on a coupled analysis of both the net structure and the snow mantel using a coupled Lagrangian Discrete approach.
Better knowledge of the actions of snow avalanches on slightly inclined protection galleries such as snow sheds is vital for improving the design of such structures.
The local knowledge that encourages the maintenance of certain forests as a protection against avalanches and landslides by stabilizing the slopes only became commonplace over time, due to the repeated threat of landslides and avalanches to individual farms.
Their usefulness includes wood production and protection against erosion, avalanches, and desertification, with often a mix of purposes.
Nonetheless, tree encroachment could increase forest protection against landslides and avalanches in the context of global change.
In this work, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been used to assess the effectiveness of earthfill barriers, which are widely used as protection structures against granular avalanches and debris flows.
