1 Contribution to the Mountain-Risks project of the Rock Mechanics Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne PhD Student: Jacopo Abbruzzese Supervisor: Dr. Vincent Labiouse MOUNTAIN RISKS Stakeholder and Topic Workshop I September 2007 University of Dortmund, Germany
2 Mountain Risks Research Training Network: ESR8 position Jacopo Maria ABBRUZZESE (Italy), Civil Engineer Academic year : Master s Degree in Civil Engineering At: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Perugia, Italy; Academic year : Bachelor s Degree in Civil Engineering At: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Perugia, Italy. Interest and motivations in Mountain Risks: strong interest in natural hazards in mountainous areas, and in research both for modelling soil and rock slope instabilities and for studying and comparing methodologies for the evaluation of the hazard and risks related to these phenomena. Background Master s degree thesis: A finite element model for the simulation of debris flows phenomena ; thesis main topics: natural hazards, geotechnical engineering and numerical models. Principal subjects of the Master s Degree Studies: Soil Mechanics, Engineering Geology, Geotechnical Site Investigations, Foundation Engineering, Slope Stability (soils), Geomorphology and Instability of Slopes (rocks), including simple risk mitigation analyses with the use of trajectography codes to simulate rockfalls.
3 Main goal of the ESR8 research project: - First rough delineation at regional and valley scales of the areas at risk to detect conflicts with land use to define preliminary danger maps; - Detailed hazard assessment at local scale, accounting for the magnitude and mean return period of events in order to elaborate hazard maps. N 500 m Preliminary map at regional scale Preliminary map at valley scale Hazard map at local scale
4 Contribution of the ESR8 position to the Project s Working Blocks: - Working Block 1 Hazard Analysis (main contribution): TA-01, TA-02, TA-04; - Working Block 2 Quantitative Risk Assessment : TA-10; - Working Block 3 Risk Management : TA-14. Points to be tackled: to collect information on present methodologies in Europe (CADANAV and Matterock in Switzerland, as well as the ones used in France, Italy and Spain) with a particular emphasis on those that could be used with GIS; to work out procedures at regional scale for a first rough delineation of the areas at risk, and at local scale for a more detailed assessment of rockfall hazard, introducing and/or improving objectivity in the procedures themselves; to develop a methodology that takes into account the temporal probability and volume of the events as well as the spatial extent and velocity of the rock falls (reducing uncertainties); to evaluate the influence on land-use planning and risk of different factors and scenarios, like the increase in frequency and/or magnitude of hazardous events due to either natural (climate) or human-induced changes.
5 Study sites: -In Switzerland, in the Canton of Wallis, where rockfalls and cliff instabilities menace areas of importance for tourism and economical reasons. Particular attention will be paid to the Mattertal Valley leading to Zermatt; -InSpain, in the Eastern Pyrenees in Andorra (collaboration with Eurogeotècnica), where, starting from the 50 s, a large number of buildings located at the base of rocky slopes are exposed to risks due to rockfalls; -In France, in the Southern Alps (collaboration with UJF, Grenoble). Potential collaborations with other partners: - Collaboration with the partners in Spain (UPC) and Switzerland (UNIL and Quanterra) involved in the ESR7 position. The ESR7 position shares many tasks with the one ESR8, for what concerns the study of hazard and risks due to rockfalls (TA-02, TA-04, TA-10 and TA-14) and for study of the performance of protective measures in terms of cost-benefit analyses; - Collaborations with Eurogeotècnica for studying and comparing different methodologies in hazard and risk mapping and with UJF for the development of imaging techniques for mountain hazard and risk assessment due to rockfalls (TA-01,TA-02, TA-04).
