Rockfall hazard mapping along a mountainous road in Switzerland using a GIS-based parameter rating approach
A posteriori studies of rock slope instabilities generally show that rockfalls do not occur at random locations: the failure zone can be classified as sensitive from geomorphological evidence. Zones susceptible to failure can there-fore be detected. Effects resulting from degrading and triggerin...
