Statistical analysis of rockfall volume distributions: Implications for rockfall dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003 We analyze the volume distribution of natural rockfalls on different geological settings (i.e., calcareous cliffs in the French Alps, Grenoble area, and granite Yosemite cliffs, California Sierra) and different volume ranges (i.e., regional and worldwide catalogs).

Repetitive Rockfall Trajectory Testing [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 Numerical simulations of rockfall trajectories are a standard procedure for evaluating rockfall hazards. For these simulations, corresponding software codes must be calibrated and evaluated based on field data. This study addresses methods of repeatable rockfall tests, and investigates whether it is possible to produce traceable and statistically ...

Rockfall Zoning Based on Rockfall Trajectory in GIS Case: Haraz road (Emamzadeh Ali) – Amol [PDF]
جغرافیا و توسعه, 2013 In this paper, Geographic information system (GIS) modeling is used in combination with three-dimensional (3D) rockfall process modeling to assess rockfall hazards. The 3D rockfall model considers dynamic processes on a cell plane basis.

Evaluation of Rockfall Hazard Based On UAV Technology And 3D Rockfall Simulations [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract In this study, the rockfall hazard in Hacıabdullah village located in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey was assessed with three-dimensional (3D) rockfall analyses based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology using RAMMS (Rockfall software). With several rockfall disasters experienced in the village, the final event occurred in
