Volumetric Water Content and Shear Failure of Volcanic Ash: Evidence From Powder Shear Cell Analyses

Volcanic debris flows are among the most hazardous mass-movement processes because they are unpredictable and can rapidly attain high velocities and destructive power, causing fatalities and damage to buildings and infrastructure. Their initiation and propagation are controlled by a combination of predisposing condit...
