Fenomeni di crollo della parete orientale del Mt. Prada tra San Lorenzo in Banale e Molveno (Trentino): analisi, valutazione e mitigazione della pericolosità = Rock-fall phenomena on the Mt. Prada eastern slope between San Lorenzo in Banale and Molveno (Trentino): hazard analysis, evaluation and mitigation.

Part of the 421 highway between S. Lorenzo in Banale and Molveno is characterized by rockfall hazard from the monte Prada eastern rock slope. The rock fall hazard is studied from some decades and its analysis method developed until consider three-dimensional numerical models associate to statistical analysis. This thesis deals with the conditions under which gravitative phenomena can occur and the approaches to mitigate it. To identify the gravitational phenomena parameters , different kinds of advanced technologies have been used, like the LiDAR, the Terrestrial Laser Scanner and the softwares SLIDE 6.0, ArcGIS 10.1, Rockyfor3D and Statistica. Their use, together with both the geomorphological-structural and the geomechanical survey, allows to obtain satisfying results about hazard mitigation on the road surface, still maintaining its maximum degree.
