Abstract A major feature of the magnitude 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 in China was the rockfalls that obliterated many kilometres of main roads, damaged power plants and destroyed transmission lines. The rockfalls would have made access to many dams impossible for long periods of time.

Subaerial and subaqueous dynamics of coastal rockfalls
Geomorphology, 2010 In spite of the hazard represented by rockfalls in coastal areas, few investigators have studied the movement of rocks failing in water. This work describes a model for the propagations of coastal rockfalls, i.e., blocks detaching from a subaerial cliff,

Journal of Geophysical Research F: Earth Surface, 2014 International audienceSince the collapse of the Dolomieu crater floor at Piton de la Fournaise Volcano (la Réunion) in 2007, hundreds of seismic signals generated by rockfalls have been recorded daily at the Observatoire Volcanologique du Piton de la ...

Rockfalls are a type of fast mass movement common in mountain areas worldwide triggered. Natural triggers of rockfalls comprise earthquakes (Harp and Wilson 1995; Marzorati et al. 2002), freeze-thaw cycles of water (Gardner 1983; Matsuoka and Sakai 1999), melting of snow (Wieczorek and Jager 1996) or permafrost (Gruber et al. 2004), temperature changes

Three-dimensional rockfall modelling and rockfall protection – Port Hills
Proceedings of the 2013 International Symposium on Slope Stability in Open Pit Mining and Civil Engineering, 2013After the February 2011 Christchurch earthquakes Geovert were commissioned by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) to provide the desperately needed answers to the widespread rockfall hazard. Including how best to protect people and assets, how much will it cost and how long will it take.

Rockfall Hazard Analysis for Hong Kong Based on Rockfall Inventory
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2003¶This paper compiles and analyzes the rockfall data in Hong Kong in the last fifty years. A simple rockfall hazard analysis is presented based on this rockfall inventory. A frequency-magnitude relation, which is analogous to the Gutenberg-Richter relation for earthquake occurrence, is proposed for rockfall, and direct correlation between rockfall ...

Rockfall Protection as an Integral Task
Structural Engineering International, 2009Among the different natural hazards, rockfall has an important place even though other natural hazards could affect more people or have greater consequences. The phenomenon may be further classified according to the size of the largest blocks and the total rock mass involved.
