Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze and model the effect of rock shapes on the run-out distribution characteristics of rockfalls. To this end, we conducted a parametric study of rockfall simulations using the discrete element method, which is a numerical simulation method capable of directly representing rock shapes. The results indicated a strong correlation between the sphericity of rocks and the run-out distribution characteristics, expressed by two types of sphericity. Furthermore, we developed a regression model that can predict the run-out distribution using these two sphericities and the parameters of the calculation conditions as the explanatory variables. Although there is some room for improvement in terms of the developed regression model, it was confirmed that the relationship between the sphericity of rocks and the run-out distribution characteristics suggests the potential to enhance efficient rockfall risk assessments through numerical analysis.
期刊介绍：
Soils and Foundations is one of the leading journals in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It is the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS)., The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations will celebrate the 60th anniversary in the year of 2020.
Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.
