ROCKFALL HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND GEOLOGICAL-GEOTECHNICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A ROCK SLOPE IN BR-356

The rockfall hazard assessment for roads is very important in geotechnical engineering business. As the process is very fast and complex, a hazard analysis is of fundamental importance for the adoption of preventive action plans and mitigation of potential impacts. Therefore, this article presents a...

Therefore, this article presents a hazard analysis for rockfall and the geological-geotechnical characterization of a rock slope on the BR-356, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

As the process is very fast and complex, a hazard analysis is of fundamental importance for the adoption of preventive action plans and mitigation of potential impacts. Therefore, this article presents a hazard analysis for rockfall and the geological-geotechnical characterization of a rock slope on the BR-356, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil. In the methodology, parameters related to the geotechnical characterization, geometry and slope characteristics were inserted, as signs of block fall activity, impact of external influences and characteristics of the catchment area.
