A methodology for physically based rockfall hazard assessment
Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing. The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with minimal runout. Rockfall hazard assessment involves complex definitions for “occurrence probability” and “intensity”. This paper is an attempt to...
متن کاملGIS-Based Rockfall Hazard Assessment in Support of Decision Making
When designing infrastructure, settlements or facilities in mountainous areas, rockfall hazard assessment is considered essential, as it is a major hazard worldwide. Rockfall hazard estimation can help greatly in the design of countermeasures, such as barriers and net fences, in order to protect the built environment, as well as for landuse planning. Rockfall modelling is considered an effectiv...

متن کاملEvaluating the Resiliency of Baghershahr against Earthquake
BACKGROUND: Because of the vulnerability of human settlements to natural disasters and damage caused by them, the study of the resilience of settlements has become critical in planning urban areas. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate resiliency of Baghershahr, a town with a population of 65000, locates in 4 km from Tehran city, against earthquake. METHODS: The research data were collected...
متن کاملLate Cenozoic uplift along the northern Dead Sea transform in Lebanon and Syria
Evidence of long-term, late Cenozoic uplift, as well as strike-slip faulting, is revealed by topographic and geological features along the northern 500 km of the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) – the transform boundary between the Arabian and African plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Macro-geomorphic features are studied using a new, high-resolution (20 meter pixel) digital elevation mod...
