Numerical Simulation of Pipeline Deformation Caused by Rockfall Impact
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Rockfall impact is one of the fatal hazards in pipeline transportation of oil and gas. The deformation of oil and gas pipeline caused by rockfall impact was investigated using the finite element method in this paper.

Paying for Safety: Preferences for Mortality Risk Reductions on Alpine Roads [PDF]
This paper presents a choice experiment, which values reductions in mortality risk on Alpine roads. These roads are on one hand threatened by common road hazards, on the other hand they are also endangered by natural hazards such as avalanches and ...

An attempt to refine rockfall hazard zoning based on the kinetic energy, frequency and fragmentation degree [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2005 Rockfall hazard zoning is usually achieved using a qualitative estimate of hazard, and not an absolute scale. In Switzerland, danger maps, which correspond to a hazard zoning depending on the intensity of the considered phenomenon (e.g.

Rockfall Analysis Based on UAV Technology in Kazıklıali Gorge, Aladağlar (Taurus Mountains, Turkey)
International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2020 Rockfall is one of the most dangerous hazards in mountainous and hilly areas. In this study, rockfall characteristics of the Kazıklıali Gorge (0.25 km2 ) in the lower Emli River Basin located in the SW part of the Aladağlar Mountains was investigated ...

The RockRisk project: rockfall risk quantification and prevention [PDF]
, 2017 Rockfalls are frequent instability processes in road cuts, open pit mines and quarries, steep slopes and cliffs. The orientation and persistence of joints within the rock mass define the size of the kinematically unstable rock volumes and determine the ...

Tree-ring based reconstruction of the seasonal timing, major events and origin of rockfall on a case-study slope in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2008 Tree-ring analysis has been used to reconstruct 22 years of rockfall behavior on an active rockfall slope near Saas Balen (Swiss Alps). We analyzed 32 severely injured trees (<i>L. decidua</i>, <i>P.
