Rock instabilities can represent major risks for local populations depending on their
geographical location. Even if different mechanisms are known to trigger rockfalls such as …

Rock instabilities hazards can lead to major risks. Even if different external factors such as
precipitation, seismic activity or freezing, are known to trigger rockfalls, it is more and more …

Climatic actions are one of the factors controlling the evolution of slopes, this paper is
devoted to a specific effect, relatively little studied, related to the effect of climate-driven …

Natural temperature variations are thought to play a role in rock slope instabilities. Rather
than high temperatures, the recurrence of temperature variations (daily, or annual cycles) …

Les instabilités rocheuses peuvent devenir des aléas majeurs. Plus encore que les
températures extrêmes qui peuvent être atteintes, les variations cycliques de température …

Le Pont du Gard est un pont-aqueduc romain construit vers 50 après JC pour assurer le
franchissement des gorges du Gardon par un aqueduc d'alimentation de la ville de Nîmes …

The environmental conditions can play an important role in the stability of rock massifs. In
fact, in several cases the weather-induced mechanisms have been considered as the …

This Ph. D. thesis deals with the effect of atmospheric thermal cycles in rocks. Focused on
the real case of La Roque Gageac, a small town located in France, which experiences rock …
