Categorization of Debris Flow And Its Prediction along The Highway Roadside of Duhok- Shekhan

Debris flow is caused by various triggers including intensive rainfall, snowmelt, and earthquakes. Quantifying the number, area, volume of debris critical to determine its risks. Soil physical analysis in conjunction with laboratory geotechnical soil properties some selected site along highway roadsides Duhok-Shekhan assisted developing empirical models predict flows from input parameters like vegetation cover percent, and, slope. The was based on measuring (the length, width, depth) individual sites. results indicated that were significantly correlated area. In contrast, it poorly each percentages slope; Furthermore, shown can be predicted reasonable accuracy at this stage study an exponential model area only. This will enable responsible agents take measures mitigate risk a
