Interdisciplinary Workshop on Rockfall Protection

Jun 23, 2008 - Jun 25, 2008
Swiss Holiday Park, Morschach Switzerland

Highlights: Aim of the workshop

It is the aim of the workshop to deal with the methods and measures that are used to protect from rockfall effectively and efficiently. The workshop will therefore focus on existing and new protection approaches that are evaluated and discussed regarding their performance, reliability, validation, extreme loads etc. Contributions to this topic may come from areas such as:

* Rockfall danger
* (Rockfall initiation, results from trajectory analysis, exposure, mapping etc.)
* Structural Protection measures (Fences, walls, galleries, dams, forests etc.)
* Impact loads
* Design
* Performance
* Experimental/field tests
* Modeling and simulations
* Guidelines

The workshop is intended to provide a forum to discuss both existing and new methods and results. Our goal is also to discuss new visions and ideas for future rockfall research.

Event Profiles: Attendees: Researchers and practitioners involved in projects on rockfall protection of infrastructure, working in the fields of civil or environmental engineering, risk and safety, earth and natural sciences.
