Fragmented Rockfall Volume Distribution from Photogrammetry-Based Structural Mapping and Discrete Fracture Networks

Resumen

The design of rockfall protection structures requires information about the falling block volumes. This can be challenging at locations with scarce rockfall records and where block surveys are not feasible. This paper describes and validates a method for estimating rockfall block volumes, based on structural mapping using on photogrammetric techniques. The method can be used for dimensioning rockfall protection structures in cases where data is scarce or not available.
