Until recently, predicting rockfall behavior has, at best, been extremely subjective. Many of the existing rockfall models had proven to be inaccurate and unrealistic in characterizing real-life rockfall occurrences with variable slope conditions. The inability to characterize a rock in motion led engineering geologists with the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Colorado Geological Survey to develop, test, and adopt the Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP). Since its first release in late 1987, the program has been used to analyze a number of hazardous rockfall areas along the Interstate 70 project through Glenwood Canyon in Colorado. This, in turn, has led to the development of some fairly innovative mitigation techniques. Three devices (tire attenuator, Flexpost fence, and geosynthetic-reinforced impact wall) have undergone extensive testing and have been applied to several locations along this scenic highway with an impressive record of performance.
