This contribution provides an overview of previous and current research on the main topics related to rockfall.

A set of approximate, multivariable relations is established to evaluate soil effects on the peak horizontal acceleration, the peak horizontal velocity and the horizontal elastic response spectra (5% damping). The basic innovation of the approach is the use ...

<p>Rockfall hazard assessment is a fundamental land planning tool in high mountain area. In this paper, a new rockfall hazard methodology is applied, based on the results of a 3D rockfall numerical model performed through an original simulation code. This ...
