Rockfall characterisation and structural protection–a review

A Volkwein, K Schellenberg… - … Hazards and Earth …, 2011 - nhess.copernicus.org
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 …

Probabilistic modeling of rockfall trajectories: a review

L Li, H Lan - Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2015 - Springer
Probabilistic approaches are widely adopted for the modeling of rockfall trajectories, but are
not widely discussed in the literature. This paper aims to help fill this gap by reviewing …

Toward objective rockfall trajectory simulation using a stochastic impact model

F Bourrier, L Dorren, F Nicot, F Berger, F Darve - Geomorphology, 2009 - Elsevier
The accuracy of rockfall trajectory simulations depends to a large extent on the calculation of
the rebound of falling boulders on different parts of a slope where rockfalls could occur. The …

Design of rockfall restraining nets from a discrete element modelling

F Nicot, B Cambou, G Mazzoleni - Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2001 - Springer
This paper considers recent contributions concerning metallic structures designed to stop
rockfalls. These structures are composed of metallic nets generally made with Anti-Sub …
