Earthquake induced Rockfalls occur frequently in Greece, causing damage on structure and having significant impact on humans. Until today, protective measures are designed with the use of 2D rockfall simulation modeling, which result in important errors as they neglect the lateral dispersion of rockfalls. 3D models that have been developed solve those issues, but other errors occur concerning the data quality and the elevation model accuracy. This Master Thesis uses the "ROCKFALL ANALYSIS"

... cation, which solves the above mentioned errors by using a new 3D rockfall simulation model. Inverse analysis of three earthquake induced rockfalls is conducted, two of them occurred at Myrtos beach at Kefalonia island and the third one at Ponti village at Lefkada island, in order to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed model.
