Rockfall characterization and structural protection - a review

Michel Jaboyedoff, Vincent Labiouse

Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features, when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk of injury or loss of life is high. Damage to buildings and infra ...

Analytical and numerical analyses of the load-bearing capacity of retaining walls laterally supported at both ends

Laurent Vulliet, Sylvain Plumey, Vincent Labiouse, Aurelio Muttoni

This paper investigates the load-bearing capacity of a perfectly smooth retaining wall laterally supported at both ends assuming that the wall fails by the development of three plastic hinges. The study considers the case of a cohesionless elastic–perfectl ...

Physical modelling to better understand rock avalanches

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Several authors have resorted to physical modelling in the field of rock avalanches. After a review of some of these works, the present paper describes tests carried out at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The main goal of these experiments, i ...

Comparison of two rock fall hazard mapping methodologies based on the French and Swiss guidelines

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Landslide hazard mapping aims at providing very useful information for urban planning and for risk analysis. Though landslide risks represent a common threat to human lives and properties worldwide, the procedures applied for hazard and risk assessment are ...

Analysis of the evolution of road tunnels equilibrium conditions with a convergence–confinement approach

Vincent Labiouse, Federica Sandrone

Since both lining structure and rock mass exhibit delayed behaviour, tunnel equilibrium conditions evolve with time. After discussing existing work done on different aspects of long-term tunnel behaviour, the aim of this paper is to “understand” the influe ...

Challenges in achieving European-wide methodologies for rock fall hazard mapping

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

European-wide standard methodologies for rock fall hazard assessment and mapping would constitute a very important step towards more transparent and reproducible procedures used for these purposes, and would provide as well a higher uniformity in land use ...

Half-scale experimental study of rockfall impacts on sandy slopes

Barbara Heidenreich, Vincent Labiouse

In the framework of rockfall trajectory modelling, the bouncing phenomenon occurring when a rock block impacts with the slope surface is the most difficult to predict, owing to its complexity and its very limited understanding. To date, the rebound is comm ...

Considerations on Swiss methodologies for rock fall hazard mapping based on trajectory modelling

Vincent Labiouse, Claire Sauthier, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and hazard mapping are essential for the risk management of vulnerable areas. This paper analyses some issues concerning fragmental rock fall hazard mapping methodologies. Two Swiss approaches based on rock fall trajectory simul ...

Flow experiments with gravel and blocks at small scale to investigate parameters and mechanisms involved in rock avalanches

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...

Rockfall protection as an integral task

Vincent Labiouse, Thomas Vogel

Among the different natural hazards, rockfall has an important place even though other natural hazards could affect more people or have greater consequences. The phenomenon may be further classified according to the size of the largest blocks and the total ...

Brittle rock failure in the Steg lateral adit of the Lötschberg base tunnel

Vincent Labiouse

During the crossing of brittle rock formations at the Lötschberg base tunnel, failure phenomena have been observed both at the tunnel face and at the walls. A detailed analysis has been undertaken to explain these behaviours, based on the recent developmen ...

Considerations on the design of cut-and-cover tunnels

Laurent Vulliet, Sylvain Plumey, Vincent Labiouse, Aurelio Muttoni

The communication shows an alternative for introducing soil-structure interaction in the analysis of cut-and-cover tunnels. An uncoupled method is illustrated through two examples representative of the situations found in practice. The main features of eac ...
