  • Us82 Rockfall Mitigation Project
    US82 ROCKFALL MITIGATION PROJECT May, 2009 BY Mohammed Ghweir Engineering Geologist Geotechnical Design Section New Mexico DOT SACRAMENTO MTS Rock Fall Signs Back Ground • US82 Connects the Town of Alamogordo, Holloman Air Force Base, and White Sands Missile Range with the Village of Cloudcroft and A Major Route US285 to the East. • The Mountain Range is Over 10,000 ft. High and Subjected to Snowfall and Freeze in the Winter. • The Road Was Built In+ the Early Fifties. • Rockfall Catchment Is Non-Existing or Very Narrow. • This Terrain is Rocky and Very Costly to Blast or Excavate. • Road Cuts Were Mostly Made in Unfavorably Orientation with Respect to Dip Angles. US82 UP MTS. GEOLOGY • The Sacramento Mountains Range is Located in the Basin and Range Province of Southern New Mexico. It is Primarily an Uplift of Large Faulted Blocks of Anticlines and Synclines. • It Comprises Quaternary Alluvial/Pediment thin Deposits That overlies Very Massive and Mostly competent Paleozoic Sedimentary Rocks of Limestone, sandstone and Shale. Geologic Map of US82 Rock Mitigation Project San Andres Limestone Yeso Fm EXISTING CONDITIONS • The Project Includes Four Road Cuts Extend From MP 14.2 to MP 15.2. • Gabion Wall and Concrete Barriers were Place Some Thirty Years Ago As Fallen Rocks Catchment. • Gabions Were Placed on Top of Standard Concrete Barriers. • Over time, Rocks filled the Space Behind the Barriers and the Walls and Spilled Over Into the Narrow Shoulder and the Driving Lanes. • The Concrete Barriers Started to Deteriorate and Chip off which will Later Undermine the Gabion Stack. GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION • These Cuts Were Rated “A” and “B” Using Oregon Rockfall Rating System.

  • A Review of Rockfall Mechanics and Modelling Approaches Luuk K.A
    Progress in Physical Geography 27,1 (2003) pp. 69–87 A review of rockfall mechanics and modelling approaches Luuk K.A. Dorren Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Nieuwe Achtergracht 166, NL-1018 WV Amsterdam, the Netherlands Abstract: Models can be useful tools to assess the risk posed by rockfall throughout relatively large mountainous areas (>500km 2), in order to improve protection of endangered residential areas and infrastructure. Therefore the purpose of this study was to summarize existing rockfall models and to propose modifications to make them suitable for predicting rockfall at a regional scale. First, the basic mechanics of rockfall are summarized, including knowledge of the main modes of motion: falling, bouncing and rolling. Secondly, existing models are divided in three groups: (1) empirical models, (2) process-based models and (3) Geophysical Information System (GIS)-based models. For each model type its basic principles and ability to predict rockfall runout zones are summarized. The final part is a discussion of how a model for predicting rockfall runout zones at a regional scale should be developed. AGIS-based distribution model is suggested that combines a detailed process-based model and a GIS. Potential rockfall source areas and falltracks are calculated by the GIS component of the model and the rockfall runout zones are calculated by the process-based component. In addition to this model, methods for the estimation of model parameters values at a regional scale have to be developed. Key words: distributed model, GIS, modelling, natural hazard, rockfall. IIntroduction In mountainous areas rockfall is a daily occurrence.

    Slope stability and rock fall hazard assessment of volcanic tuffs using RPAS with 2D FEM slope modelling Ákos Török1, Árpád Barsi2, Gyula Bögöly1, Tamás Lovas2, Árpád Somogyi2, and Péter Görög1 1Department of Engineering Geology and Geotechnics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, H- 5 1111, Hungary 2Department of Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, H- 1111, Hungary Correspondence to: Ákos Török ([email protected]) Abstract. Low strength rhyolite tuff forms steep, hardly accessible cliffs in NE Hungary. The slope is affected by rock falls. 10 RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) was used to generate a digital terrain model (DTM) for slope stability analysis and rock fall hazard assessment. Cross sections and joint system data was obtained from DTM. Joint and discontinuity system was also verified by field measurements. On site and laboratory tests provided additional engineering geological data for modelling. Stability of cliffs and rock fall hazard were assessed by 2D FEM (Finite Element Method). Global analyses of cross-sections show that weak intercalating tuff layers may serve as potential slip surfaces, however at present the highest 15 hazard is related to planar failure along ENE-WSW joints and to wedge failure. The paper demonstrates that without RPAS no reliable terrain model could be made and it also emphasizes the efficiency of RPAS in rock fall hazard assessment in comparison with other remote sensing techniques such as terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and tachymetry. 1 Introduction In the past years, technological development of RPAS revolutionized the data gathering of landslide affected areas (Rau et 20 al.

  • AND SR 167 - SR 512(PUYALLUP) to I-405 (RENTON) CHARACTERISTICS Segment Description: the SR 167 and SR 512 Highways Function As the Eastern Bypass to I-5
    SR 167/SR 512, SR 512- I-5 (LAKEWOOD) TO SR 167 (PUYALLUP) AND SR 167 - SR 512(PUYALLUP) TO I-405 (RENTON) CHARACTERISTICS Segment Description: The SR 167 and SR 512 highways function as the eastern bypass to I-5. These two highways work together in tandem and need to be recognized and evaluated as one corridor. Traveling from south to north, SR 512 begins at I-5, in Lakewood, connecting with SR 167, in Puyallup, continuing north on SR 167 intersecting with I-405 at the north end in Renton. County/Counties: Pierce and King Cities/Towns Included: There are number of cities located along the routes: Lakewood, Puyallup, Sumner, Algona, Pacific, Auburn, Kent and Renton. Number of lanes in the corridor: 1 to 4 Lane width: 12 to 24 feet. Speed limit: 30 to 60 mph. Median width: 0 to 200 feet. Shoulder width: 1 to 22 feet. Highway Characteristics: SR 167 and SR 512 have been designated as both HSS and NHS. SR 167 and SR 512 have been assigned the functional class Urban Principal Arterial. Also, the SR 167 and SR 512 corridor is designated T-1 with annual tonnage up to 43,000,000. Special Use Lane Information (HOV, Bicycle, Climbing): SR 512 has two speed change/weaving lanes. One of the speed change lanes is on the left in the vicinity of ARM 0.27 - 0.63 and the other is on the right in the vicinity of ARM 0.32 - 0.64. There is one climbing lane on SR 512 on the left in the vicinity of 8.85 - 9.79.

  • Analysis of Rockfall Hazards
    Analysis of rockfall hazards Introduction Rockfalls are a major hazard in rock cuts for highways and railways in mountainous terrain. While rockfalls do not pose the same level of economic risk as large scale failures which can and do close major transportation routes for days at a time, the number of people killed by rockfalls tends to be of the same order as people killed by all other forms of rock slope instability. Badger and Lowell (1992) summarised the experience of the Washington State Department of Highways. They stated that ‘A significant number of accidents and nearly a half dozen fatalities have occurred because of rockfalls in the last 30 years … [and] … 45 percent of all unstable slope problems are rock fall related’. Hungr and Evans (1989) note that, in Canada, there have been 13 rockfall deaths in the past 87 years. Almost all of these deaths have been on the mountain highways of British Columbia. Figure 1: A rock slope on a mountain highway. Rockfalls are a major hazard on such highways Analysis of rockfall hazards Figure 2: Construction on an active roadway, which is sometimes necessary when there is absolutely no alternative access, increases the rockfall hazard many times over that for slopes without construction or for situations in which the road can be closed during construction. Mechanics of rockfalls Rockfalls are generally initiated by some climatic or biological event that causes a change in the forces acting on a rock. These events may include pore pressure increases due to rainfall infiltration, erosion of surrounding material during heavy rain storms, freeze-thaw processes in cold climates, chemical degradation or weathering of the rock, root growth or leverage by roots moving in high winds.
