Rockfall Analysis

Rockfalls are geological processes that occur quickly on steep natural or man-made slopes due to gravitational forces. They can result in the loss of human lives as well as extensive damage to human structures. Rockfalls are affected by site conditions (both topographic and geological structures), climate, tectonic activity, human activities, and seismic loading.

As rockfalls pose a significant risk to human activities and infrastructure, rockfall analysis is regarded as critical along roads and in other geotechnical works.

Rockfall analysis is a critical component in geotechnical engineering, focusing on assessing and mitigating the risks associated with rockfall hazards.
