Fragmentation in a rockfall event influence the total number of fragments, the mass distribution, and the impact energies and runouts. Then, the probability of impact and hazard characterization should consider fragmentation. ...

Prediction of multi-hazard slope stability events requires an informed and judicious choice of the possible scenarios. An incorrect definition of landslide conditions in terms of expected failure volume, material behavior, ...

The block size distribution produced in a rockfall event is necessary for the study of the trajectories, run-out, the impact energies and for the quantitative assessment of the rockfall hazard. For large rockfall deposits, ...

En aquest projecte es caracteritza la caiguda d’un bloc de grans dimensions de massís rocós d’un penya-segat situat sobre el riu Llobregat al seu pas per Viladordis, a l’est de Manresa, i s’estudien els possibles riscos ...

The understanding of the conditioning factors and of the mechanisms involved in rockfalls are requirements for a successful risk assessment and for the prevention of future events. In that respect, the detailed documentation ...

There is intrinsic difficulty in the investigation of the largest volume of rockfalls that is expected in an area, which lies in the small number of large events, in registrable times. The maximum credible rockfall size ...

There exists a transition between rockfalls, large rock mass failures, and rock avalanches. The magnitude and frequency relations (M/F) of the slope failure are increasingly used to assess the hazard level. The management ...

Although many works on the quantification of the rockfall hazard and exposure of vehicles in roadways exist, few practical examples that include detailed consequences analysis have been presented so far. We respectively ...

Fragmentation is a critical mechanism for the calculation of the trajectories of the blocks and the impact energies, for the assessment of the potential damage and for the design of protec-tive structures, although few ...
