Theory of Controlling Avalanches on Railroads,

Abstract

The article examines the present status of the theory and movement of avalanches, snow stability on avalanche-prone slopes, and its accumulation thereon. The possibility of using the principles of the mechanics of continuous discrete media is explored in construction of this theory. Functions are derived for estimating stability of snow layer on slopes and for balancing momenta of the avalanche body. (Author)
