The heavy rainfall from August 12 to 14th,2010 led to a large area of debris flow in the serious quake-hit of the‘5·12’ Wenchuan earthquake such as Yingxiu Town,Longchi Town and Qingping Township.It caused the serious damage.According to the common characteristics of the three typical debris flows which happened on 13th,August,exploring the formation mechanism of debris flow in earthquake-hit area has great meaning for the controlling and disaster early warning about the debris flow.This paper first introduces the basic condition and the geological environment condition about the typical debris flows in the hardest hit Yingxiu,Longchi,Qingping Township.It also explores the distribution,the formation mechanism and the performance pattern of the debris flow.First,this debris flow is mainly distributed in the vicinity of fault with the zonal distribution.Second,they are the trenches of debris flow before the earthquake.Third,the stability of the slope in the trench is poor.And on the effect of the‘5·12’ Wenchuan earthquake,the conditions got worse,there are more things going into the trench,which form large or small blockage.During the rainfall,the surface runoff forms the pattern of debris flow which can ditch block storage and burst of energy dissipation.When the blocking body bursts,the water runs with the sand,the pumping groove and they enhance the formation of large,sudden landslides.According to the characteristics and the mechanisms of debris flow,this paper concludes the controlling principles of earthquake debris flow.First,the comprehensive measures of controlling the gully and slope should be combined.Second,project implementation and their functions maintenance should be combined.Third,the disaster controlling of projects and the construction should be combined.We can also say that we should combine the controlling of the debris flow with the project of the slope controlling and the road reinforcement about the groove side.Fourth,the debris flow monitoring and warning should also be arranged in the potential of the plug body on the downstream side.
