The dry granular flow produced by a landslide or mountain collapse represents an intense
threat to road structures, including rock sheds in mountainous areas. In this study, we …

This study addresses the instability problem of typical slopes in the engineering
constructions of bridges and tunnels in Southwestern China by combining the results of …

Debris flows pose threats to sustainable development in many countries worldwide,
including China, Japan, Switzerland and USA. To mitigate these flows, rigid and flexible …

Artificially excavated rock slope of Zhongyuntai Mountain in Lianyungang is close to the
busy Dongshugang expressway, with steep topography and well-developed structural …

In the Himalayan region, roadways, railways, power plants, buildings and other houses are
prone to rock falls. Considering the rockfall risk in the Himalaya, this study focuses on an …

In this paper, simulations of real rockfall by discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) are
conducted. In the simulations, the energy losses of rockfall are categorized into three types …

Flexible rockfall barriers are a common form of protection against falling blocks of rock and
rock fragments (rockfall). These barriers consist of a system of cables, posts, and a mesh …

This paper addresses the use of discrete element modeling approaches for predicting the
impact response of flexible rockfall protection barriers. In this purpose, two different models …

To study the motion law of rockfall which collapses from the tunnel heading slope and the
dynamic response of the open-cut tunnel to the impact, a large-scale three-dimensional …

A destructive rockfall event occurred in northern Taiwan, wherein the falling blocks severely
damaged the retaining structures of a mountain road. To elucidate the trajectory of rockfalls …
