Probabilistic approaches are widely adopted for the modeling of rockfall trajectories, but are
not widely discussed in the literature. This paper aims to help fill this gap by reviewing …

The particle micromorphology created by geological processes is an essential characteristic
in determining the mechanical properties of natural sands. Based on micro X-ray computed …

Rockfall poses risk to people, their properties and to transportation ways in mountainous
and hilly regions. This catastrophe shows various characteristics such as vast distribution …

This study investigates the mechanism of rockfall impact against a granular soil buffering
layer above a concrete/rock shed via numerical simulations by discrete element method …

Aiming to understand the dynamic disintegration and transport behavior of an earthquake-
induced landslide, a dynamic discrete element method has been employed to analyze the …

Rock shed structure is widely constructed above a tunnel portal to protect the tunnel from
rockfall hazards. The damage mechanism of rock sheds under rockfall impact is crucial, but …

Rockfalls are frequent geodisasters, characterized by gravity driven downslope movement of
a solid mass of rock. The kinematics of rocks is heavily dependent on their shape, which …

The earthquake-induced rock avalanche in the Tangjia Valley was the most notable
geological disaster triggered by the Lushan earthquake in 2013. In order to investigate the …

Flexible rockfall barriers are commonly constructed on steep hillsides to mitigate rockfall.
The evaluation of the dynamic response of proprietary flexible rockfall barriers is …

Nan**g sand, a type of greenish-grey schistous sand, is rich in weathered mica fragments,
making it anisotropic and significantly differ from the round-grained quartz sand in terms of …
