| Program description: |
RocFall is a statistical analysis program designed to assist with assessment of slopes at risk
for rockfalls. Energy, velocity and "bounce height" envelopes for the entire slope are
determined by the program, as is the location of rock endpoints. Distributions of energy,
velocity and bounce-height are also calculated along the slope profile; Distributions can be
graphed and comprehensive statistics are automatically calculated.
RocFall can also assist in determining remedial measures: the material properties of each
slope segment can be changed allowing for comparison of results. Information about the
kinetic energy and location of impact on a barrier can help determine the capacity, size and
location of barriers. RocFall provides various ways of interacting with other Windows
programs. All input and output data (formatted in tabular form) and screen captures, can be
"pasted" into a word processor for speedy report writing. RocFall also allows "raw" data (e.g.
the impact location on a barrier) to be "pasted" into a spreadsheet for more detailed
analysis. (e.g. determining what fraction of the impact locations were above a certain height
or fitting a probability distribution to the data).
