The main objective was to cover not only low-magnitude, high-frequency rockfalls (\u0026lt;10 m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e) but also Mid-Magnitude events, which involve rock volumes of between 10 and 100 m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e (boulder falls) and between 100 and 10,000 m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e (block falls). As Mid-Magnitude events have been insufficiently covered in terms of rockfall modelling up to now, a geomechanical approach has been developed to characterize those events by means of a case study. For a 200 m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e limestone block a potential failure scenario was analysed by combining a deterministic failure analysis with a numerical process-based run-out model. To model potential run-out scenarios of the 200 m\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e block, the beta version of the code RAMMS::Rockfall, developed by the Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF), was applied. RAMMS::Rockfall makes it possible to include the block shape and thus consider the effects of varying block shapes on the run-out distance. The run-out modelling for the entire project site was performed using the scientific code Rockyfor3D (Dorren\/ecorisQ). To provide quantitative information in terms of input parameters, a field recording of block sizes at the talus slope, as well as a detailed discontinuity analysis at the source area, were conducted. The book successfully demonstrates how detailed and quantitative field investigation can contribute to 3D rockfall modelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319245096\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-24510-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 148\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47668104724620,"sku":"9783319245096","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319245096.jpg?v=1776462084","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319245096","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
