Short summary
Laboratory tests were performed with natural debris material to study the loading aspects of flexible debris-flow barriers and to quantify the influence of different mesh sizes and the lower gap between barrier and the riverbed. A reasonable retention was reached with a net mesh size and a basal gap smaller than 90% of the grains. By scaling the laboratory tests to the field using Froude similarity, a recommendation is given for the best net mesh size and the gap under natural conditions.
