DESCRIPTION:The "fluid-structure" interaction when granular media travelli
 ng at high velocities impinge on structures will be discussed.  Such inter
 actions typically occur in landmine explosions\, landslides and avalanches
  and involve the transfer of momentum from the granular media to the struc
 ture. The phenomena involved are investigated via coupled discrete-continu
 um calculations and laboratory-scale model experiments.
