A novel dynamic rockfall susceptibility model including precipitation, temperature and snowmelt predictors: a case study in Aosta Valley (northern Italy)

open access: yesLandslides, 2023
The overarching goal of the study was the development of a potentially dynamic rockfall susceptibility model by including climate predictors. The work is based on previously defined critical thresholds relating three climate indices — effective water ...

Case Study on Safety Assessment of Rockfall and Splash Stone Protective Structures for Secondary Excavation of Highway Slope

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Rockfall occurs on the excavation of the slope of highway resulting from excavated rock pieces. In order to solve the problem of rockfall protection during the disturbance of high slope secondary excavation, rockfall analysis program RocFall was used to ...

Contribution of High-Resolution Virtual Outcrop Models for the Definition of Rockfall Activity and Associated Hazard Modelling

open access: yesLand, 2023
The increased accessibility of drone technology and structure from motion 3D scene reconstruction have transformed the approach for mapping inaccessible slopes undergoing active rockfalls and generating virtual outcrop models (VOM).

A fractal fragmentation model for rockfalls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Automated Delimitation of Rockfall Hazard Indication Zones Using High-Resolution Trajectory Modelling at Regional Scale

open access: yesGéosciences, 2023
The aim of this study was to delimit potential rockfall propagation zones based on simulated 2 m resolution rockfall trajectories using Rockyfor3D for block volume scenarios ranging from 0.05–30 m3, with explicit inclusion of the barrier effect of ...
