Abstract

Mitigation measure of rock fall was assessed for large unstable jointed rock blocks formed at 50m high steep rock slope. The site investigation of rock fall in1999indicates that the geometry of the rock blocks and slope have significant influences on the path, velocity, jump height, and travel distance of the falling blocks. Hence, the distinct element method (DEM) was applied to examine the effects of the geometry and also to estimate the path and dynamic behavior of rock fall.
