Rockfall is a common hazard along US Interstate Highway 70 in Glenwood Canyon,
Colorado. While natural rock slopes source a substantial number of rockfalls, there remains …

The frequency, severity, and spatial extent of destructive wildfires have increased in several
regions globally over the past decades. While direct impacts from wildfires are devastating …

An example of the combined use of UAV photogrammetry and rockfall numerical simulation
is described. A case of fragmental rockfall occurred on 17 November 2018 in Cárcavos, a …

Wildfires increase surface runoff and erosional processes from short and intense rain bursts.
In steep mountain watersheds, the progressive entrainment of material induced by surface …

High temperature can change rock structure and mechanical properties, which may cause
potential hazards in rock engineering. In this paper, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) …

Both in the literature and in practical applications, several works have dealt with rockfall
analysis and the planning of mitigation measures. It is also possible to find inventories and …

Debris flows are powered by sediment supplied from steep hillslopes where soils are often
patchy and interrupted by bare‐bedrock cliffs. The role of patchy soils and cliffs in supplying …

While most of the scientific effort regarding wildfires has predominantly focused on fire
effects on vegetation and soils, the role of fire as an essential weathering agent has been …

The change characteristic of drillability and hardness of a rock under different thermal
situations is a fundamental problem that must be clarified in deep engineering. In order to …

Seismic events and rockbursts are recurrent geotechnical hazards in deep underground
mines with significant levels of stress and extraction. These hazards can be manageable if …
