Rockfall Engineering is an up-to-date, international picture of the state of the art in rockfall engineering. The three basic stages of rockfalls are considered: the triggering stage, the motion stage, and the interaction with a structure stage; along with contributions including structural characterization of cliffs, remote monitoring, stability analysis, boulder propagation, design of protection structures an risk assessment. Academic contributions are illustrated by practical examples, and completed by engineering contributions where practical purposes are thoroughly considered. This title is intended for engineers, students as well as researchers.Content: Chapter 1 Geophysical Detection and Characterization of Discontinuities in Rock Slopes (pages 1-37): Jacques Deparis, Denis Jongmans, Stephane Garambois, Clara Levy, Laurent Baillet and Ombeline MericChapter 2 Remote Sensing and Monitoring Techniques for the Characterization of Rock Mass Deformation and Change Detection (pages 39-65): Marc?Henri Derron, Michel Jaboyedoff, Andrea Pedrazzini, Clement Michoud and Thierry VilleminChapter 3 Mechanical Stability Analyses of Fractured Rock Slopes (pages 67-112): Veronique Merrien?Soukatchoff, Jerome Duriez, Muriel Gasc?Barbier, Felix Darve and Frederic?Victor DonzeChapter 4 Assessment of Constitutive Behaviors in Jointed Rock Masses from a DEM Perspective (pages 113-142): Cedric Lambert and John ReadChapter 5 Methods for Predicting Rockfall Trajectories and Run?out Zones (pages 143-173): Luuk Dorren, Ulrik Domaas, Kalle Kronholm and Vincent LabiouseChapter 6 Rockfall Dynamics: A Critical Review of Collision and Rebound Models (pages 175-209): Franck Bourrier and Oldrich HungrChapter 7 Rockfall Hazard Zoning for Land Use Planning (pages 211-253): Vincent Labiouse and Jacopo Maria AbbruzzeseChapter 8 Rockfall Quantitative Risk Assessment (pages 255-301): Jordi Corominas and Olga MavrouliChapter 9 Multi?scale Analysis of an Innovative Flexible Rockfall Barrier (pages 303-342): Ayman Trad, Ali Limam, David Bertrand and Philippe RobitChapter 10 A New Design Method for Rockfall Shelters Covered by Granular Layers (pages 343-373): Francesco Calvetti and Claudio Di PriscoChapter 11 Design Procedure for a Three?Layer Absorbing System in Rockfall Protection Galleries (pages 375-392): Norimitsu Kishi and Hisashi Kon?NoChapter 12 Ground Reinforced Embankments for Rockfall Protection: From Real Scale Tests to Numerical Modeling (pages 393-426): Daniele Peila
