Methodological proposal for an engineering geomorphological map. Forecasting rockfalls in the alps
Summary Rockfalls and debris avalanches seem to be a major geologic risk affecting communication routes in the alpine environment. Within the framework of the project on landslides, promoted by the National Research Council (Laboratory of Applied Geology for Communication Route Planning in Padua), the studies carried out in South Tyrol on rock slope stability provided a methodological example of mapping the risk connected with rockfalls in the design and maintenance problems for the improvement of traffic safety. In this paper the most convenient scale of the previsional map is defined together with the principal tools for collecting data on those factors controlling rock mass equilibrium such as lithology jointing, weathering, climate, aspect, vegetation cover, slope gradient and height. From the relationship between quantitative parameters related to the factors mentioned above, different landslide, susceptibility degrees arise thus permitting, the zoning of the rockfall risk.
