To realize the mechanism of the occurrence of debris flow, three kinds of materials, natural deposits sampled from Fong Chiu, single-grained gravels and coarse sands, were used to simulate the occurrence of debris flow in flume. Meanwhile, the caused factors of debris flow were investigated and the theoritical equation of its occurrence was derived in this experiment. And the results were obtained as follows: 1. The occurrence of debris flow could be derived as following equation under considering the seepage force and pore water pressure. (The equation is abbreviated) 2. This equation was proved that it could be effectively applied to forecast the possibility of the occurrence of debris flow in this experiment. 3. The natural deposits which contain some amounts of gravels with high porosity and vast pore size, were easily caused to become debris flow on steep slope. 4. The derived equation could be applied to design the height and the depositing slope of check dam which was going to prevent from the occurrence of debris flow.
