Numerical Investigation of the Dynamic Response of a Sand Cushion with Multiple Rockfall Impacts
Sustainability, 2023 A shed cave structure with a sand cushion is often used as a protective structure for rockfall disasters. Because of the randomness and unpredictability of rockfall disasters, the cushions of shed caves often suffer multiple impacts from rockfalls ...

Is climate change causing increased rockfall frequency in Austria? [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Potentially, increasing rockfall hazards triggered by climate change are a major concern expressed both in scientific and non-scientific media. An existing rockfall inventory for Austria including 252 events from ca.

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).

Evaluation of maximum rockfall dimensions based on probabilistic assessment of the penetration of the sliding planes into the slope [PDF]
, 2020 There is intrinsic difficulty in the investigation of the largest volume of rockfalls that is expected in an area, which lies in the small number of large events, in registrable times.

Rockfall analyses and rockfall protection at the Raspadalica Rockfall, Croatia
, 2022 The Raspadalica rockfall is well known location with numerous rockfall occurrences from 100 m high limestone cliff in the past that caused significant damages and victims at the railway Buzet - Pula in Istria, Croatia. Structural and kinematic analysis of possible future rockfall were carried out following the modern approaches and recent techniques in
