Technical-Economic Comparison of Variants of Avalanche-Protective Measures,
Abstract
The report contains a method for comparing variants of avalanche-protective measures that allow for the effect of initial capital investments, outlays for current upkeep of structures, and their service life. For measures not involving construction of structures, it is recommended to bring under the proposed formula annual costs for artificial collapsing of snow masses, for clearing the line from snow slides, and railway losses due to train delays during the periods when lines are cleared free of snowbanks.
