    Small scale laboratory experiments of boulders bouncing on granular slopes

    By V. Labiouse, B. Heidenreich

    The rebound phenomenon, which occurs during rockfalls when a rock block impacts with a slope surface, is influenced by several parameters related not only to the slope material but also to the block a

    Assessment of mass modulus of a weathered argillaceous rock

    By Chris M. Haberfield, Neil D. Benson

    The assessment of overall modulus (or stiffness) of a fractured weak to moderately strong rock mass is a key parameter in the design of civil engineering works in these materials. It also provides th
