<strong>International</strong> <strong>Symposium</strong> on Mitigative Measures against Snow Avalanches
Egilsstaðir, Iceland, March 11–14, 2008
The maximum deflecting angle of a deflecting dam has not been discussed but is an important
by-product of the theory. The theory also has the potential to be used to estimate spreading of
an avalanche downstream of a deflecting dam (Hogg and others, 2005).
