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.

Infrasound from Volcanic Rockfalls [PDF]
, 2015 Proximal infrasound arrays can robustly track rapidly moving gravity-driven mass wasting, which occurs commonly at erupting volcanoes. This study reports on detection, localization, and quantification of frequent small rockfalls and infrequent ...

A methodology for physically based rockfall hazard assessment [PDF]
, 2003 Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing. The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with

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.

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.
