Better DEM prediction of the motion of the falling rock requires realistic input parameter values used for the analysis. A methodology is developed in which the DEM parameters are determined from back analysis of a rockfall trajectory observed in field rockfall experiments or traced by site investigation of natural rockfall events. A number of techniques and strategies are proposed to ensure the efficiency and robustness of the solution procedure. The method is also extended into non-homogeneous slope cases，by applying repeatedly the presented procedure to each of the homogeneous segments along a given rockfall trajectory. Laboratory rockfall experiments on small model slopes are carried
