Rockfall Fractal Fragmentation Model (RFFM)

 

Rockfall Fractal Fragmentation Model (RFFM) has been implemented in Excel in order to calibrate the model parameters and observe their behavior. From a In-situ Block Size Distribution (IBSD) the distribution of blocks that could be generated on a rockfall is calculated as a function of different degrees of fragmentation, controlled by the model parameters. The use of a real Rockfall Block Size Distribution (RBSD) from the field measurements allows calibration parameters. This tool can be DOWNLOADED HERE.
