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.
