Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features,
when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk …

Models can be useful tools to assess the risk posed by rockfall throughout relatively large
mountainous areas (> 500 km2), in order to improve protection of endangered residential …

This paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide
hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and …

A framework for landslide risk management for landslides and slopes is presented. A review
of criteria for acceptable individual and societal risk is presented, and suggestions made for …

Landslide susceptibility and hazard zoning, and to a lesser extent, landslide risk zoning,
have experienced extensive development during the last few decades. Most of these zoning …

The two main transportation corridors of southwestern British Columbia are subject to a
range of rock slope movements (rock falls, rock slides, and rock avalanches) that pose …

Accurate prediction of rockfalls is a major need in mountain areas, both for hazard
assessment and the design of countermeasures. In this paper, the performance of an …

Rockfall is one of the main phenomena in mountainous environments due to its fast and
high speed of movement, its unpredictability, and, therefore, the difficulty of identifying signs …

The probability of occurrence is one of the key components of the risk equation. To assess
this probability in landslide risk analysis, two different approaches have been traditionally …
