Featured Application This review contribute to understand the mechanisms underlying the
observed rockfall activity during and after a wildfire, to advance in the solutions and methods …

Slope stability is one of the major geological concerns in open‐cast mines. The mining area
slopes needs to be regularly monitored to detect occurrence of any slope failure prior to any …

Rock fall is a common natural hazard causing significant damage to infrastructure and loss
of life. Rock fragmentation is frequently observed during rock fall events and several authors …

在搜集和梳理全球一个多世纪以来灾难性工程滑坡实例的基础上, 将人类工程活动诱发的滑坡分
为4 种基本类型和若干亚类: ① 采矿工程滑坡(包括地下采空型, 露天采场型, 尾矿坝及排土场型); …

Large, deep open-pit mining projects lead to rockfall, which becomes an engineering hazard
second only to slope stability. The V shaped gully (V-gully) method introduced here was …

Block geometry is commonly the most important feature determining the behaviour of a rock
mass and directly controls the structural instability in underground openings or surface …

Many recent examples have shown that rockfalls can occur in underground steep coal
mines. The stratigraphic circumstances, block formation mechanism, and cumulative …

In this study, the dynamic behavior of rock clusters falling on rough slopes and impacting a
vertical barrier is investigated experimentally and numerically using discrete element …

This study presents in situ experiments carried out at an open cut mine in New South Wales
(Australia). The research intends to improve the current knowledge on drapery systems for …

Rockfall ditches or catchment areas aim to collect falling blocks at the toe of a source zone
by dissipating the energy of blocks in an excavated trench. The effectiveness of a rockfall …
