In the design of sheltering structures or embankments for the mitigation of the risk due to rapid and long spreading landslides, a crucial role is played by the evaluation of the impact force exerted by the flowing mass on the artificial obstacle.
Hotels, etymologically speaking, are a French invention, sheltering structures whose function was to provide care and nurture--as in the famous and endangered Hotel Dieu in Paris beside the Seine.
On each level, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, glass, and stone, and the objective of the game is to eliminate all the pigs on the level.

The numerical modelling of the impact phenomenon and of the shelter structure is illustrated.
