In order to study the influence of falling rock shapes on their rolling characteristics and to determine the optimization of falling rock protection design, a series of research experiments were conducted. Model experiments were designed to explore the r...

The Vakhsh River is tributary to the Amu Dayra, supporting numerous hydropower facilities as well as irrigation and community water supplies. High sediment loads are major concerns for these uses, yet little is known about the spatial distribution of the...

Rockfall simulations are often performed at various levels of detail depending on the required safety margins of rockfall-hazard-related assessments. As a pseudo benchmark, the simulation results from different models can be put side-by-side and compared...

The aim of this study was to delimit potential rockfall propagation zones based on simulated 2 m resolution rockfall trajectories using Rockyfor3D for block volume scenarios ranging from 0.05?30 m3, with explicit inclusion of the barrier effect of standi...

Shelter caves serve as crucial repositories that provide valuable insights into Late Pleistocene?Holocene depositional mechanisms and environmental changes. In this study, we conducted a stratigraphic analysis of the easternmost cave-fill succession with...

Low-energy rockfall catch fences are designed to protect infrastructure such as railways and roads wherein the kinetic energy of falling rocks is less than 100 kJ. The typical design consists of a double-twisted steel wire mesh supported by ground posts ...

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 prote...

Due to their genesis, volcanic rocks present some singularities that make their geotechnical characteristics significantly different from other more common types of massifs, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The formation mechanisms of volcanic ...

Rockfalls are widespread, rapid, and high-energy landslide phenomena that could potentially affect large portions of populated lands. The preliminary identification of the most rockfall-prone zones is a challenging task, especially in times of extreme an...

Mass movements are linked to increasing amounts of damage and disruptions to transportation infrastructures. A valid risk assessment in order to reduce future costs is not always appropriate, as adequate information on landslide data is missing. The pres...
