Rock Fall Engineering

Specialist reference on rock fall processes, hazard assessment and mitigation measures for transport corridors, infrastructure and slopes. Wyllie describes causes of rock falls, including geology, climate and topography, and presents detailed case histories on rock fall trajectories, impact energies and damage patterns, supported by analytical and numerical modelling methods. The book also covers design of mitigation works such as draped mesh, barriers, catch benches and shelters, making it the main reference for projects where rock fall hazard interacts with broader slope stability considerations.
