Rockfalls from structurally controlled failures were hazard-mapped by identifying their origins and block sizes. The process involved geological surveys and 3D slope analysis using RocSlope3, a program from Rocscience, to determine block stability and safety factors. These findings informed rockfall origins for simulation in RocFall3, aiding in rockfall protection and slope stabilization. A demo highlighted these workflows in both programs.
