Rock falls can be a public safety issue. This book provides comprehensive information on identification of these hazards, and design and construction of protection methods.
Rock Fall Engineering
describes first, the theoretical background to rock fall behavior in terms of the impact and trajectory phases of rock falls, and second, how this information is applied to modeling of rock falls and the design of ditches, fences and sheds. The theory of rock fall behavior is verified by comparing the calculations with five carefully documented case studies.The book covers four main topics as follows:
This book, which contains many worked examples, is of interest to practitioners and researchers working in the fields of geological engineering and natural hazards.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Rock falls can be a public safety issue; this book provides comprehensive information on the identification of these hazards related to geology, climate and topography, and the design and construction of protection structures. It sets out the theoretical background to rock fall behaviour in terms of impact and trajectory phases of rock falls, and applies this to the modeling of falls and the design of high impact energy capacity attenuator fences. The theory is supported by information from five carefully documented rock fall case studies. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781482219975
