Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This rockfall computer program, which simulates rocks tumbling down a slope, predicts the statistical distribution of speed and bounce height, and can be used for locating and designing rockfall mitigation. The model takes into account, slope profile, rebound and friction characteristics of the slope, and spinning energy of the rocks. Spherical, cylindrical and disk shaped rocks can be simulated. At each impact, the slope angle is randomly varied from the nominal value input by the user within the limit set by the maximum probable variation in the slope. Version 3.0 of the Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program is similar to version 2.1 in terms of the operating environment, but additional statistical output has been added and the ability to use metric units has also been added. This manual reflects version 3.0 input and output. The model is recommended as a tool for geologist[s] and engineers responsible for analyzing and mitigating rockfall hazards."--Technical report documentation page.

Book excerpt: This rockfall computer program, which simulates rocks tumbling down a slope, predicts the statistical distribution of speed and bounce height, and can be used for locating and designing rockfall mitigation. The model takes into account, slope profile, rebound and friction characteristics of the slope, and spinning energy of the rocks. Both sperical and disk shaped rocks can be simulated. At each impact, the slope angle is randomly varied from the nominal value input by the user within the limit set by the maximum probable variation in the slope. This Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program revision -- Version 2.1 -- has the identical source code as the original cited in Report No. CDOH-DTD-ED3/CSM-89-2, but data inputs and graphic outputs have been revised by Rick Schultz of CDOT to create a more user friendly environment. This manual reflects version 2.1 input and output.

Download or read book Rockfall Engineering written by Stéphane Lambert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the German edition of this book, the topic of risk has experienced even greater attention, not only in the world of science but also in other fields, such as economics and politics. Therefore, many new publications have evolved. To keep with the idea of an encyclopedia for the topic of risk, this book has been completely reworked. Not only are many updated examples included in chapter “Risks and disasters” but also new chapters have been introduced, such as the chapter “Indetermination and risk”. This new chapter was developed since the question “Is it possible for risks to be completely eliminated, and if not why?” has become a major point of c- cern. Therefore, especially in this chapter, the focus of the book has - tended from a simple mathematical or engineering point of view to include much broader concepts. Here, not only aspects of system theory have to be considered, but also some general philosophical questions start to inf- ence the considerations of the topic of risk. The main goal of this edition, however, is not only the extension and revision of the book, but also the translation into the English language to allow more readers access to the ideas of the book. The author deeply hopes that the success the book made in the German edition continues and that readers experience a major gain from reading the book.

Download or read book Dynamics of Rockslides and Rockfalls written by Theodor H. Erismann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass movement of rocks in high mountains can severely injure the population and damage man-made structures in these areas. This book focuses on the understanding of the mechanisms of rockslides and rockfalls using a quantitative approach. The range and velocity of these hazards are calculated to serve as a basis for evacuations and other preventive measures. Examples from four continents illustrate the necessity of this kind of information. The book contains a wealth of information for practitioners and scientists working in the field of catastrophe prevention.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together, from a wide range of experience, such information as may be useful in recognizing, avoiding, controlling, designing for, and correcting movement. Current geologic concepts and engineering principles and techniques are introduced, and both the analysis and control of soil and rock-slopes are addressed. New methods of stability analysis and the use of computer techniques in implementing these methods are included. Rock slope engineering and the selecting of shear-strength parameters for slope-stability analyses are covered in separate chapters.

Download or read book Numerical Methods for Nonsmooth Dynamical Systems written by Vincent Acary and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the numerical simulation of dynamical systems whose trajec- ries may not be differentiable everywhere. They are named nonsmooth dynamical systems. They make an important class of systems, rst because of the many app- cations in which nonsmooth models are useful, secondly because they give rise to new problems in various elds of science. Usually nonsmooth dynamical systems are represented as differential inclusions, complementarity systems, evolution va- ational inequalities, each of these classes itself being split into several subclasses. The book is divided into four parts, the rst three parts being sketched in Fig. 0. 1. The aim of the rst part is to present the main tools from mechanics and applied mathematics which are necessary to understand how nonsmooth dynamical systems may be numerically simulated in a reliable way. Many examples illustrate the th- retical results, and an emphasis is put on mechanical systems, as well as on electrical circuits (the so-called Filippov’s systems are also examined in some detail, due to their importance in control applications). The second and third parts are dedicated to a detailed presentation of the numerical schemes. A fourth part is devoted to the presentation of the software platform Siconos. This book is not a textbook on - merical analysis of nonsmooth systems, in the sense that despite the main results of numerical analysis (convergence, order of consistency, etc. ) being presented, their proofs are not provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, with contributions from international landslide experts, presents in-depth knowledge of theories, practices, and modern numerical techniques for landslide analysis. Landslides are a reoccurring problem across the world and need to be properly studied for their mitigation and control. Due to increased natural and anthropogenic activities, chances of landslide occurrence and associated hazards have increased. The book focuses on landslide dynamics, mechanisms and processes along with hazard mitigation using geo-engineering, structural, geophysical and numerical tools. The book contains a wealth of the latest information on all aspects of theory, practices and modelling tools and techniques involved in prediction, prevention, monitoring, mitigation and risk analysis of landslide hazards. This book will bring the reader up to date on the latest trends in landslide studies and will help planners, engineers, scientists and researchers working on landslide engineering.
