Book description
Rockfall Engineering is an up-to-date, international picture of the
state of the art in rockfall engineering.
The three basic stages of rockfalls are considered: the triggering
stage, the motion stage, and the interaction with a structure stage;
along with contributions including structural characterization of
cliffs, remote monitoring, stability analysis, boulder propagation,
design of protection structures an risk assessment.
Academic contributions are illustrated by practical examples, and
completed by engineering contributions where practical purposes are
thoroughly considered. This title is intended for engineers, students as
well as researchers.
