Abstract

This paper describes a methodology for the assessment of design loads for rock-fall protection structures taking explicitly into account different types of uncertainties. The advantage of this methodology is that any kind of information and models can be utilized and included in this framework. It enables a consistent description for the design load and can also directly be used for purposes of structural reliability analysis and probabilistic risk assessments.
