A Large-Scale Three-Dimensional Apparatus to Study Failure Mechanisms of Rockfalls in Underground Engineering Contexts [PDF]
SensorsRockfalls are an important factor affecting underground engineering safety. However, there has been limited progress in understanding and predicting these disasters in the past few years. Therefore, a large-scale three-dimensional experimental simulation

Spatiotemporal patterns, triggers and anatomies of seismically detected rockfalls [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 Rockfalls are a ubiquitous geomorphic process and a natural hazard in steep landscapes across the globe. Seismic monitoring can provide precise information on the timing, location and event anatomy of rockfalls, which are parameters that are otherwise

Deep Neural Networks for the Estimation of Masonry Structures Failures under Rockfalls
Geosciences (Switzerland), 2023 Although the principal aim of the rockfall management is to prevent rock boulders from reaching the buildings instead of the buildings resisting the boulder impacts, there usually exists a residual risk that has to be assessed, even when structural ...

, 2018 Mars is known to have a plethora of active surface processes at the present day, and the role of water is vigorously debated. Here we study rocks falling from exposed outcrops of bedrock, which have left trails on the slope over which they have bounced and/or rolled.

Effects of Wildfire on Rockfall Occurrence: A Review through Actual Cases in Spain
Applied Sciences, 2021 Understanding processes and conditions that lead to rockfalls during and after a wildfire in different geological contexts is crucial since this phenomenon is one of the major hazards in mountainous regions across Europe.
