Description
Summary:Flexible debris nets are an excellent choice for emergency debris protection. They are lightweight, have a small footprint, and are relatively easy to construct. Available design methodology based on testing and modelling makes engineering simplified with straightforward calculations. After a huge wildfire, Montecito, California sustained devasting debris flows. The need to quickly design and construct protection was made possible proven methodologies under difficult environmental restrictions.
