Abstract:
Rockfall impact scenarios represent an immense danger for humans and infrastructure, especially in mountainous areas. If the cause of the rockfall cannot be prevented, protection structures are installed in exposed areas. Due to the arbitrariness of the rock size, the impact position, and the impact velocity, no general, simplified load approaches are available. To analyze rock impact on protection structures, numerical methods are needed. Recently we demonstrated how to combine the DEM and the...     »
