Formal snow avalanche risk assessment to buildings and optimal design of defense structures
Résumé
The principle of this study is to combine the model describing avalanche hazard with a quantitative assessment on its consequences for one or several elements at risk. To do so, a reliability approach is conducted to establish vulnerability relations. On the other hand, outputs from a statistical-numerical physical avalanche model are used to quantify the hazard intensity (Eckert et al., 2012).
