Influencing factors of landslides and rockfalls along the Jinchuan-Xiaojin highway in Sichuan
Geological hazards in plateau mountainous areas are the greatest hazards to traffic lines, and the key to effectively avoid risks is to grasp the engineering geological factors and inducing factors of geological hazards along the high way.

Evaluation of maximum rockfall dimensions based on probabilistic assessment of the penetration of the sliding planes into the slope [PDF]
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.

Statistical analysis of rockfall volume distributions: Implications for rockfall dynamics [PDF]
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).

Rockfall Intensity under Seismic and Aseismic Conditions: The Case of Lefkada Island, Greece
Rockfall analysis is a multiparametric procedure with many uncertainties and the outputs are largely dependent on some critical engineering geological parameters involved in the used simulation model.

Evaluation of Rockfall Hazard Based On UAV Technology And 3D Rockfall Simulations [PDF]
Abstract In this study, the rockfall hazard in Hacıabdullah village located in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey was assessed with three-dimensional (3D) rockfall analyses based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology using RAMMS (Rockfall software). With several rockfall disasters experienced in the village, the final event occurred in

Comparing rockfall scar volumes and kinematically detachable rock masses [PDF]
Scenario-based risk assessment for rockfalls, requires assumptions for different scenarios of magnitude (volume). The magnitude of such instabilities is related to the properties of the jointed rock mass, with the characteristics of the existing ...
