A framework for temporal and spatial rockfall early warning using micro-seismic monitoring

Liang Feng et al.

Summary: This study introduces a framework for temporal and spatial rockfall early warning based on microseismic monitoring. By detecting and classifying rockfall events, the method provides warnings based on accumulated energy, as demonstrated by successfully predicting a large rockfall 3 minutes in advance in an experiment.

3D Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models of damage zone fluid corridors within a reservoir-scale normal fault in carbonates: Multiscale approach using field data and UAV imagery

Luca Smeraglia et al.

Summary: The study combined field-collected structural data and a virtual outcrop model constructed from drone imagery to characterize the fracture distribution within the damage zone of a low-displacement carbonate-hosted fault in Italy. Results showed that fractures in the damage zone exhibit varying degrees of maturity and permeabilities, with the potential for the damage zone to serve as fracture corridors for fluid flow in subsurface reservoirs. This suggests that changes in subsurface permeabilities in carbonate fractured reservoirs may be associated with high permeability fracture zones developed within the damage zones of low-displacement faults.

Fracture density variations within a reservoir-scale normal fault zone: A case study from shallow-water carbonates of southern Italy

Giovanni Camanni et al.

Summary: By studying an incipient fault zone in shallow-water carbonates of the southern Apennines thrust belt, we found that areas of denser fractures are associated with different structures within the fault zone, including antithetic faults, branch points, and fault segments with significant displacement gradients. This may help in locating volumes of dense fracturing and enhanced permeability within faulted reservoirs.

Rockfall Modelling in Forested Areas: The Role of Digital Terrain Model Grid Cell Size

Barbara Zabota et al.

Summary: The study found that the accuracy of the modelled shape of rockfall propagation and runout area decreases with larger DTM grid cell sizes. Forest has an important effect on reducing rockfall propagation, only effective at DTM1 and DTM2 with a sufficient distance between the source area and forest.

Upscaling of fractured rock mass properties - An example comparing Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modeling and empirical relations based on engineering rock mass classifications

D. Gottron et al.

Summary: This study compares Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modeling with empirical relationships based on conventional engineering rock mass classifications to determine the elastic properties of fractured rock masses. The results show that incorporating intact rock properties in addition to classification scores in empirical equations yields more reliable estimates for predicting fractured rock mass properties.

Definitions and Concepts for Quantitative Rockfall Hazard and Risk Analysis

Didier Hantz et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the need for quantitative rockfall hazard and risk assessment, emphasizing the importance of precise definition of terms and concepts. It suggests methods for deriving main hazard and risk descriptors for localized and diffuse hazards. By assessing failure probabilities, reach probabilities, and exposure levels, the paper provides a comprehensive approach to evaluating rockfall risks.
