Abstract: “This paper presents the results and analysis of a 2-D rockfall simulation program by simulating rockfall trajectories on a longitudinal profile of the slope located in the District of Amstetten, Austria. The results show that the kinetic energy of the simulated rockfall threat the settlements located at the slope toe area. Rockfall barriers construction is in need to be installed to reduce the rockfall impacts.”
