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 …

A rockfall is a typical dynamic problem of a discontinuous block system originating from a
dangerous rock mass and always presents serious geo-hazards along highway slopes in …

This paper presents the results of laboratory and field tests regarding the determination of
the parameters that influence the trajectory of falling blocks in rockfalls. Coefficients of …

Rockfall phenomena represent a major hazard in mountainous areas because they can
cause severe damage to infrastructure and buildings as well as serious injuries and …

Accurate estimation of rockfall trajectory and motion behaviors is essential for rockfall risk
assessment and the design and performance evaluation of preventive structures. Numerical …

Fragmentation is a common feature of rockfall that exerts a strong control on the trajectories
of the generated blocks, the impact energies, and the runout. In this paper, we present a set …

This paper presents a procedure for tracking rockfall trajectories and extracting kinematic
parameters from both the impacts and the resultant fragments. A set of full scale rockfall …

We present field evidence and a kinematic study of a rock block mobilized in the Ponti area
by a M w= 6.5 earthquake near the island of Lefkada on 17 November 2015. A detailed …

The coefficient of restitution (COR) is one of the microscopic physical properties of maize
that must be specified to use EDEM software to perform numerical simulations to support the …

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 …
