A systematic program of testing of different reinforcement systems has been undertaken since 2004. Potentiometers, load cells, accelerometers and high speed video are used to monitor the tests. Software has been developed to analyse the data. The results from ...

In this experimental study, natural rock pieces as well as concrete balls and cubes having imbedded accelerometers in them were made to fall and roll over a 45m high natural slope composed of exposed rocks and vertical planes in an attempt to elucidate further ...

At the scale of forest stands, there is a lack of quantitative, statistically valid data on the protective effect of forests against rockfall. Therefore, the first objective of this study was to quantify the velocities, rebound heights as well as the residual ...

The accuracy of model output increases with a decreasing support size of the input data, due to the increase of detail. This paper examines whether this is true for various spatial models developed for simulating rockfall. We analyze the effect of the support ...

<p>As a result of the widespread use of the landslide classifications of Varnes (1978) and Hutchinson (1988), certain terms describing common types of flow like mass movements have become entrenched in the language of engineering geology. Example terms include ...
