A fractal fragmentation model for rockfalls [PDF]
The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10346-016-0773-8The impact-induced rock mass fragmentation in a rockfall is analyzed by comparing the in situ block size distribution (IBSD) of the rock mass detached from the ...

Evaluating earthquake-induced rockfall hazard near the Dead Sea Transform [PDF]
We address an approach for rockfall hazard evaluation where the study area resides below a cliff in an a priori exposure to rockfall hazard, but no historical documentation of rockfall events is available and hence important rockfall hazard parameters ...

Experimental testing of low energy rockfall catch fence meshes [PDF]
Flexible catch fences are widely used to protect infrastructure like railways, roads and buildings from rockfall damage. The wire meshes are the most critical components for catch fences as they dissipate most of the impact energy.

Improvment of safety conditions of unstable rock slopes through the use of explosives [PDF]
The paper discusses operations aimed at creating a safer natural or man made rock slope by artificially inducing the displacement of unstable elements by blasting.

Surface movement and cascade processes on debris cones in temperate high mountain (Picos de Europa, northern Spain) [PDF]
Producción CientíficaDebris talus is a very common landform in the temperate high mountain, so much so that it is the most representative of the periglacial and nival processes.
