Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features,
when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk …

Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

This article deals with the resuspension phenomenon whereby particles adhering on a wall
surface can be re-entrained by a flowing fluid. This is an area where significant progress has …

This study investigates the mechanism of rockfall impact against a granular soil buffering
layer above a concrete/rock shed via numerical simulations by discrete element method …

This paper investigates the role of force chains in granular materials under both quasi-static
biaxial loading and dynamic impact loading conditions. This study is mainly interested in …

This study experimentally investigates the impact behaviour of rubberized concrete beams
strengthened with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP). Twelve reinforced concrete …

The accuracy of rockfall trajectory simulations depends to a large extent on the calculation of
the rebound of falling boulders on different parts of a slope where rockfalls could occur. The …

Thin-walled bent tubes with small bending radius are one of the key components used in
airspace and aerospace launch vehicles and various electrical equipment. Traditional …

Rockfalls pose a significant threat to life and property, thus rockfall protection is a major
issue in areas exposed to severe rockfall hazard. Rockfall protection approaches include …

The prediction of the effects of rockfall on passive protection structures, such as reinforced
ground embankments, is a very complex task and, for this reason, both full-scale tests and …
