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 کاملThermal hazard assessment on hydroperoxides-examples on cumene hydroperoxide
Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory School of Computer Science, Florida International University Miami, FL 33199, USA Abstract Since the nineteenth century, the chemical process industries have developed rapidly not only in terms of degree of complexity and throughput, but also in potential hazards. Such hazards exist when chemicals undergo decomposition, polymerization or othe...
متن کاملRoots and the stability of forested slopes
Root decay after timber cutting can lead to slope failure. In situ measurements of soil with tree roots showed that soil strength increased linearly as root biomass increased. Forests clear-felled 3 years earlier contained about one-third of the root biomass of oldgrowth forests. Nearly all of the roots < 2 mm in diameter were gone from 7-year-old logged areas while about 30 percent of the < 17...
متن کاملAssessment of desertification hazard, risk and development of management plans
About 80 percent of Iran is arid and semi-arid and about 35 percent of this area is susceptible to desertification hazard. Therefore desertification assessment and identification of the most important criteria for the assessment of risk and a basis for development of management plans is essential. This research was conducted in the semi-arid region of Agh-Band in the Golestan province, Iran wit...
