Abstract: the noncohesive debris flows of intermediate size and recurrence (100 to 500 years).This case is appropriate for consideration in some structural design.Case III flows are relatively small but more frequent (less than 100 years on average).British Columbia.The mountain is second only to Mount St Helens in seismic activity, and it is the highest volcano in the Cascade Range.It also has the largest mass at high altitude, above 3,000 m for example, and consequently has a perennial snow and glacier mantle that is approximately equal in volume to that at all other Cascade Range volcanoes combined (Driedger and Kennard, 1986).The volcano is the dominant feature of Mount Rainier National Park, located about 70 km southeast of Seattle, Wash.It is drained by five major river systems (fig.1): the
