Abstract

The Raspadalica rockfall is well known location with numerous rockfall occurrences from 100 m high limestone cliff in the past that caused significant damages and victims at the railway Buzet - Pula in Istria, Croatia. Structural and kinematic analysis of possible future rockfall were carried out following the modern approaches and recent techniques in rockfall hazard analysis. Modern approaches include application of remote- sensing techniques enabled to ensure digital terrain models (DTM) from three dimensional high- resolution point cloud (3D HRPC) of the cliff surface ; engineering geological mapping using combination of remote-sensing techniques and field mapping. In this paper the methods and results of field and remote sensing investigation of the cliff structural and kinematic analysis results, identification of rockfall sources, as well as analysis of necessary protection measures and their positions at the slope above the railway route
