The Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) was developed in 1987 to estimate the velocity, energy, and bounce heights of rockfall, which in turn forms a basis for selection of designs for mitigation. Several revisions were issued in the following years, and the program has been widely used for rockfall design. The new version of CRSP has been written based on a combination of Particle Flow Code and the Discrete Element Method for dynamic model simulation. This approach provides a more accurate approximation to the equations of motion for rock and slope interaction than employed by previous CRSP versions.

The Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) is a computer program written in BASIC which models rockfall behavior and provides a statistical analysis of rockfall simulations at a given site. The Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) was developed to provide a statistical analysis of probable rockfall behavior at any given site and to be used as a tool to study the behavior of rockfalls, to determine the need for rockfall mitigation, and to aid in the design of rockfall mitigation. The basic theory behind CRSP is summarized, and the results of recent program modifications and calibration are. Providing the popular Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program computer software Providing comment and guidance for proposed rockfall mitigation Providing educational resources so that the people of Colorado our many visitors might better understand rockfall and the risk associated with living in and traveling through mountainous terrain.
