The scope of this paper is to summarize previous research pertaining to the use of digital
elevation models (DEMs) and digital terrain models (DTMs) in the study of rockfalls and …

This manuscript presents a review on the application of a remote sensing technique
(terrestrial laser scanning, TLS) to a well‐known topic (rock slope characterization and …

Step-path failure is a typical damage mode of rock slope featuring intermittent joints. In order
to investigate the effect of water-fracture interaction on the stepped failure, laboratory …

The investigation of large landslides in high alpine environments is often hindered by the
difficult accessibility of the mountainous terrain. Efforts are typically concentrated on the …

The stability and kinematics of rock slopes are widely considered to be functions of
lithological, structural, and environmental features. Conversely, slope damage features are …

Rock slope failures are frequently controlled by a complex combination of discontinuities
that facilitate kinematic release. These discontinuities are often associated with discrete …

A rock face affected by small rockfalls has been monitored using a ground-based remote
sensing apparatus: Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS). The pilot study area corresponds to the …

This paper experimentally investigates the cracking behavior of rock-like specimens
containing artificial open flaws under uniaxial compressive loads. The present experiments …

Down-slope rock bridge in slopes and dangerous rock masses are often affected by cyclic
wetting and drying, leading to severe geological disasters. In order to investigate the …

Rockslides and Rock Avalanches of Central Asia: Distribution, Impacts, and Hazard
Assessment arms scientists with an inclusive and specialized reference for future studies of …
