Slope mass rating-based analysis to assess rockfall hazard on Yogyakarta Southern Mountain, Indonesia

open access: yesGeoenvironmental Disasters, 2020
In the Parangtritis Beach tourism area located in the Southern Mountain of Yogyakarta, karst hills were excavated to build the main accessing road and produce some of long and very steep slopes along the sides of the road.

Rockfall Mitigation Measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Highways in Kentucky contain numerous rock slopes and rockfall from these slopes represent potential dangers to motorists. As these highway rock cut slopes age and deteriorate because of weathering, the potential for rockfall and rock slides increases ...

The Implications of M3C2 Projection Diameter on 3D Semi-Automated Rockfall Extraction from Sequential Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Rockfall inventories are essential to quantify a rockfall activity and characterize the hazard. Terrestrial laser scanning and advancements in processing algorithms have resulted in three-dimensional (3D) semi-automatic extraction of rockfall events ...

Dynamic characteristics and fragmentation evolution of columnar rockfall: A case study of the Zengziyan rockfall in Chongqing, China

open access: yesZhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022
Columnar rockfall occur widely in China and cause extreme damage to man-made structures and facilities. On 12 August 2004, Zengziyan W12 perilous rock collapsed and ran out a horizontal distance of 600 m. The rockfall caused airblast with a height of 150

Numerical and experimental study on P‐wave propagation across a rock joint with different orientations

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

Rockfall hazard in the Imja Glacial Lake, eastern Nepal

open access: yesGeoenvironmental Disasters, 2020
In Nepal, rockfall related studies are rarely conducted and are limited to the landslide study along with few case studies on rockfall events. Rockfall problems in Nepal are more frequent in the Higher Himalayan region than Midland and Lesser Himalayan ...

Comparing Flow-R, Rockyfor3D and RAMMS to Rockfalls from the Mel de la Niva Mountain: A Benchmarking Exercise

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Rockfall simulations are often performed at various levels of detail depending on the required safety margins of rockfall-hazard-related assessments. As a pseudo benchmark, the simulation results from different models can be put side-by-side and compared
