Rock falls can be a public safety issue. This book provides
comprehensive information on identification of these hazards, and
design and construction of protection methods. Rock Fall
Engineering describes first, the theoretical background to rock
fall behavior in terms of the impact and trajectory phases of rock
falls, and second, how this information is applied to modeling of
rock falls and the design of ditches, fences and sheds. The theory
of rock fall behavior is verified by comparing the calculations
with five carefully documented case studies.The book covers four
main topics as follows: Describes causes of rock falls, including
geology, climate and topography, and provides detailed
documentation on rock fall impacts and trajectories at five sites
with a wide variety of topographic and geologic features Discusses
theory of impact mechanics, and its application to velocity and
energy changes during impacts and trajectories Reviews methods of
modeling rock fall events, and presents analyses for the five case
studies Examines rock fall protection in terms of selecting
appropriate method(s) for site conditions, and design principles in
which the objective is to absorb impact energy in an efficient
manner This book, which contains many worked examples, is of
interest to practitioners and researchers working in the fields of
geological engineering and natural hazards. Duncan C. Wyllie is a
principal with Wyllie & Norrish Rock Engineers in Vancouver,
Canada, and a registered professional engineer in British Columbia.
He has worked on rock fall hazard projects involving the design and
construction protection measures since the 1970s. He is the author
of Foundations on Rock, Second Edition, and Rock Slope Engineering,
Fourth Edition, both published by CRC Press.
