In this paper are evaluated the conditions of an embankment that has been subjected to the impact of rock blocks of various sizes at different speeds.

The objective of this work is to develop elements to improve understanding of the behavior of a coppice in relation to the phenomenon of falling boulders.

Rockfall protection embankments are ground levees designed to stop falling boulders. This paper investigates the behavior of geocells to be used as components of these structures.

The most important innovations introduced by the new guideline (European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG)) are here presented and discussed and a net fence design procedure for protection against rockfall is provided.

There are presently no clear rules for determining optimal rockfall protection forests, taking into account forest and site characteristics as well as the size and energy of the falling rock. To provide a tool that meets these requirements and quantifies the ...

In this paper, is explored the effect of slope geometry and rockfall frequency on the rockfall hazard zoning.
