Abstract:Through the shaking table test

studied the distance of different shape and size rock falls under different peak acceleration seismic

sine wave frequency and slope shape

and cleared the influence of rock falls on the buildings at the slope foot.The results showed that: the distance of rockfall increased with the increasing of seismic peak acceleration

where the maximum distance was spherical rockfall

cylindrical

the square rockfall was inferior to the spherical rockfall

and the minimum distance was rectangle rockfall. With the slope angle increased

the distance of rockfall first increased and then decreased

and the maximum distance of rockfall appeared when the angle of the slope reached 50°. The distance of rackfall increased with the slope height increased. With increasing of sine wave frequency

the distance of rock falls decreased first and then increased. And the maximum distance from largest to smallest were spherical

cylindrical

square and rectangle rockfall. Based on the probability statistics method

the maximum distance of rockfall distributed within the 1.6H

which provide reference for protection design of the structures at slope foot.
