Combined use of rockfall trajectory simulations and tree impacts observations for rockfall frequency assessment

Combinaison de simulations trajectographiques et d'observations d'impacts sur les arbres pour l'évaluation du phénomène de chute de bloc

Résumé

While significant progress has been achieved regarding the modelling of rockfall propagation, including the interaction with forest cover, the estimation of the spatial distribution of rockfall frequency in release areas remains a challenging task. Indeed, the very low number of observed events makes any statistical modelling difficult, so that estimations are generally based on expert knowledge regarding the rock structure of start zones and a few recorded events. Meanwhile, recent dendrochronological studies have shown that trees, as silent witnesses of numerous events, bring information about the spatial distribution of rockfall trajectories. This data can be compared to simulated trajectories in order to reconstruct the most probable start zones. This study presents a methodological framework for the resolution of this problem on both virtual and real case studies.
