Simple sketch of channel and landslide. The channel consists of an inclined plane (ѱ = 40°, x < 215 cm), a horizontal run-out zone (x > 255 cm) and a transition zone joining the two regions. Superimposed on the inclined section of the chute is a shallow parabolic cross-slope topography (y 2/2b with b = 110 cm). The granular material is released from rest on the parabolic inclined section of the chute by means of a Perspex cap. The cap is fitted to the basal chute topography and has a spherical free surface. The major axis of the cap is 32 cm in length, and the maximum height of the cap above the reference surface is 22 cm
