The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments

The relevance of rock shape over mass—implications for rockfall hazard assessments

The awareness of rock shape dependence in rockfall hazard assessment is growing, but experimental and field studies are scarce. This study presents a large data set of induced single block rockfall events quantifying the influence of rock shape and mass on its complex kinematic behaviour.
