Return period calculation and passive structure design at the Taconnaz avalanche path (France)
International audience This paper aims to show how recent knowledge developed in the field of avalanche research can be used for a real case study, the Taconnaz avalanche path, where passive structures already existed but had to be improved. First a morphological analysis of the site is done and his...
