Rockfall Analysis: CRSP vs. DEM Methods by sophie186 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document compares two numerical methods for rockfall analysis: the Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) and the Discrete Element Method (DEM), focusing on their ability to predict the travel distances of falling blocks. The study, motivated by a real rockfall case in Postignano, Italy, demonstrates that both methods can yield comparable results, although DEM offers advantages in modeling block fragmentation effects. The findings highlight the importance of accurately calibrating model parameters
