REVIEW OF MUDFLOW CONTROL BASED ON KNOWN CHANNEL GEOMETRY AND GEOLOGICAL FEATURES IN KAZAKHSTAN

This research addresses the urgent need for improved mudflow protection in high-risk areas.The study aims to develop innovative and effective mudflow protection structures based on mudflow basin classification and dynamics to improve safety and reduce risks in regions exposed to mudflow hazards.Employing methods like analysis, synthesis, comparative analysis, modelling, and engineering methods, the study proposes a solution for mudflow detention in regions where hydraulic structures are impractical.It introduces a scale-based classification system for mudflows, allowing for precise control measures tailored to their dynamic characteristics and volumes.Mathematical modelling provides accurate estimates of mudflow behaviour, accounting for random phenomena.Technical advancements include a newly designed culvert that captures sediment and effectively diverts mudflows.The research also emphasises the importance of environmental considerations to prevent sedimentation and maintain channel cleanliness.The study provides practical value by creating efficient, environmentally sustainable mudflow protection structures, thereby improving disaster prevention, risk reduction, and resource optimization.
