Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Rockfalls on debris slopes pose a significant hazard to canyon roads on the Tibetan Plateau. In order to assess risks and develop effective engineering solutions, it is crucial to fully understand the characteristics and processes of rockfall movement ...

Forensic analysis of rockfall scars [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2017 Abstract We characterise and analyse the detachment (scar) surfaces of rockfalls to understand the mechanisms that underpin their failure. Rockfall scars are variously weathered and comprised of both discontinuity release surfaces and surfaces indicative of fracturing through zones of previously intact rock, known as rock bridges.

Improvment of safety conditions of unstable rock slopes through the use of explosives [PDF]
, 2008 The paper discusses operations aimed at creating a safer natural or man made rock slope by artificially inducing the displacement of unstable elements by blasting.

Multi-technique approach to rockfall monitoring in the Montserrat massif (Catalonia, NE Spain) [PDF]
, 2017 Montserrat Mountain is located near Barcelona in Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain, and its massif is formed by conglomerate interleaved by siltstone/sandstone with steep slopes very prone to rockfalls.

Influencing factors the rockwall retreat of flysch cliffs on the Slovenian coast
Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2012 This study identifies factors that affect the speed of rockwall retreat of flysch cliffs between Kane Point and Strunjan on the Slovenian coast. Individual factors were combined in a geographical information system with mapped recent erosion features ...

Nanoseismic monitoring for detection of rockfalls. Experiments in quarry areas [PDF]
, 2018 Le frane per crollo da ammassi rocciosi fratturati sono tra i processi di instabilità gravitativa che più frequentemente interessano opere antropiche quali tagli su versanti naturali o artificiali, pareti di cava, trincee stradali, autostradali o ...

Repetitive Rockfall Trajectory Testing [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 Numerical simulations of rockfall trajectories are a standard procedure for evaluating rockfall hazards. For these simulations, corresponding software codes must be calibrated and evaluated based on field data. This study addresses methods of repeatable rockfall tests, and investigates whether it is possible to produce traceable and statistically ...
