...K. Itoh; Y. Toyosawa; O. Kusakabe Rockfall, and its subsequent motion down the slope, often poses a serious hazard for people and infrastructure. This paper describes the development of a rockfall generation system used to investigate the rockfall behaviour and dynamic process of the overall...

... on granular geomaterials. Rockfall impact energies can reach magnitudes of the order of millions of Joules, requiring understanding of the combined energy absorption mechanisms at high energy levels for improved design of the gallery and cushion. These prototype high-energy ranges can be achieved...
