摘要

This paper provides an overview of the 2013 debris flooding near Canmore, Alberta and the subsequent debris-flood risk assessments and flood protection designs, with special attention given to mitigation design elements along the Trans-Canada Highway. Three-days of heavy rainfall in Alberta, Canada in June 2013 caused extensive flooding in the southwestern portion of the province. Debris floods were prevalent on alluvial fans and caused extensive and long-lasting highway closures, almost completely severing Bow Valley from access from either side. Sediment and debris blocked numerous culverts and bridge underpasses, and choked channels, which led to flow avulsions, bank erosion, and flooded communities and roadways. The province of Alberta, including Alberta Transportation and individual municipalities, responded to the event by initiating studies to systematically identify, prioritize, and assess flood and debris-flood hazards and risks, and to design and implement risk reduction measures that improve resiliency and reduce consequences of future floods. The flood event and subsequent assessments and designs have highlighted three important themes that should be considered when designing culverts, bridges, and flood protection works for highways in mountainous terrain. Each theme is illustrated in the paper with case study examples. 1. Importance of accurately recognizing the hydro-geomorphic process type 2. Benefits of using a risk-based approach to design 3. Importance of recognizing interaction of highways with other elements on fans Each theme is illustrated in the paper with case study examples.
