Natural hazards, such as high winds, heavy rains and ice melting, can easily trigger the
rockfall which usually leads to great personal injuries and property loss; therefore, the …

The aim of this article is to review and analyse the different hypotheses assumed in the
calculation methods for flexible systems used in slope stabilisation. These systems are …

This paper presents a new numerical strategy for the design and verification of flexible
falling rock barriers: passive protection measures for risk mitigation of potentially unstable …

Flexible barriers are widely used as protection structures against natural hazards in
mountainous regions, in particular for containing granular materials such as debris flows …

A field investigation on the actual protective performance of a flexible rockfall barrier along a
mountain road in western China is presented in this paper. The total area of the flexible …

In order to protect infrastructures against rockfalls, civil-engineered mitigation measures are
widely used. Flexible metallic fences are particularly well suited to stop the propagation of …

A numerical approach has been recently devised by the authors for the modelling of falling
rock protection barriers, metallic structures used as passive measures against rockfall …

This paper investigates the dynamic response of low energy, semi-rigid rockfall barriers. The
study is based on a FE model that reproduces the geometry, components and connections …

为了研究被动防护网系统在落石冲击作用下的抗冲击力学行为, 基于实际工程调查,
