ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out the answer to the question "which forms of roots are more effective in reducing debris flow?" based on the tree roots' function of slope stability among their engineering functions to reduce disasters from debris flow, which is one of disasters taking place in mountainous areas. For this purpose, this study made simulated models of tree roots and compared debris flow taking place in simulated debris flow experiments. As the result, it turned out that experiments using trees had less debris flow than the ones without trees and the model with deep-rooted tree species had better reduction effect than the one with shallow-rooted tree species. In addition, in a same simulated trees miniature model, the form with more root branches had better reduction effect than the one with less root branches.
