QuaRRi: a new methodology for rock-fall risk analysis and management in quarry exploitation [PDF]

, 2010
Rockfall is one of the most critical geological events that can affect quarrying activities. Nevertheless, few tools are currently available to help designers and managers correctly define the risk conditions and quantify the advantages, in terms of ...

Rockfall risk: quantification of the consequences of rockfalls [PDF]

, 2011
Though the significance of investing in safety spending is appreciated, it is generally viewed as an expensive overhead cost. In lean economic times particularly, this mind-set places productivity first before safety.

Nanoseismic monitoring for detection of rockfalls: experiments in quarry areas [PDF]

, 2018
In the frame of early warning and risk mitigation studies for landslide processes involving rock masses, two quarry areas (Cala Rossa Bay in Sicily and Acuto in Central Italy) were monitored with SNS (Seismic Navigation System) arrays.

Loen Rockfall Center

, 2021
Seven percent of the Norwegian landscape consists of rock and bare mountains, this makes a total of thirteen thousand mountains. The Norwegian culture is strongly influenced by settlements close to the wild mountain landscape. These populations vary from small villages to larger cities. Living close to these natural forces has resulted in many villages
