Interdisciplinary Workshop on ROCKFALL PROTECTION
ii Preface Compared to other landslide movements, rockfall is an extremely rapid process with long travel distances. When an event occurs, the ability of persons to take evasive actions is almost reduced to zero and the risk of injury or loss of life is high. Damages to buildings and infrastructures are likely as well. In many cases suitable protection measures are thus necessary. The workshop ...
متن کاملSemi-Automatic Determination of Rockfall Trajectories
In determining rockfall trajectories in the field, it is essential to calibrate and validate rockfall simulation software. This contribution presents an in situ device and a complementary Local Positioning System (LPS) that allow the determination of parts of the trajectory. An assembly of sensors (herein called rockfall sensor) is installed in the falling block recording the 3D accelerations a...
متن کاملStatistical design of rockfall protective structures using a stochastic trajectory analysis model
Classically used trajectory analysis models do not really account for the stochastic nature of the trajectory of falling rocks related to the variability of the impact process. The presented work focuses on the bouncing phase modelling in the case of the interaction of a boulder with a coarse granular soil. Impact simulations are first held using a Discrete Element Method. A statistical analysi...
متن کاملRockfall characterisation and structural protection - a review
Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features, when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk of injury or loss of life is high. Damage to buildings and infrastructure is quite likely. In many cases, therefore, suitable protection measures are necessary. This contribution provides an overview of pr...
