This thesis is dedicated to the study of falling rocks bouncing on natural soils in order to improve the models used for rockfall hazard assessment. The impact of a rock on a scree slope is modelled using the Discrete Element Method. The comparison between numerical results and half-scale experimental results of impacts on a coarse soil shows that the numerical model allows accurately predicting the bouncing of the rock for a reduced number of model parameters to be calibrated. The numerical results also emphasize that the interaction between the impacting particle and the granular soil is composed of three stages : the partial energy exchange from the impacting particle to the soil, the propagation of a shockwave from the impact point and ...
