Rockfall hazards triggered by earthquake activities and heavy rainfalls occur frequently in Taiwan along the past decades. Especially after the 921 earthquake in 1999, considerable damages of rockfall hazards in hillside resident areas and along engineered slopes are increasing dramatically in which the rockfall hazards become a major obstacle for engineers to deal with. Accordingly, the study on rockfall hazard mitigation for hillside resident communities was proposed herein. Simulation results obtained show that the techniques developed in this study can provide a more efficient as well as accurate method for evaluating rockfall problems. |
