Rockfall is a rapid and rather spontaneous natural hazard. It is a natural process that poses problems in many areas downslope from rocky outcrops throughout the world. To predict the potential rockfall threat, it is not only required to estimate the stopping ...

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 of injury or loss of life is high. Damage to buildings and infrastructure ...

Rockfall propagation areas can be determined using a simple geometric rule known as shadow angle or energy line method based on a simple Coulomb frictional model implemented in the CONEFALL computer program. Runout zones are estimated from a digital terrain ...
