Flexible ring net barriers have become increasingly popular in practical mitigation of debris
flow worldwide. Systematic assessments of their response and performance subjected to the …

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 …

This paper proposes an effective design approach for quickly determining the specification,
size and amount of components of a flexible rockfall protection barrier structure. The …

Flexible barriers have been widely adopted to mitigate the debris flow disasters. However,
the research on the coupled interaction analysis between flexible barriers and debris flows …

Flexible rockfall barriers have been widely used to mitigate rockfalls and protect residential
buildings, railroads and highways from such natural hazard. Evaluation of the performance …

The need for protection against rockfall has led to the development of different types of
technological solutions that are able to both prevent blocks from detaching from rock walls …

Rockfall is a phenomenon which, when uncontrolled, may cause extensive material damage
and personal injury. One of the structures used to avoid accidents caused by debris flows or …

Chain-link wire nets are used for slope stabilization, natural hazard protection systems, mine
and tunnel safety and many other important applications. In rockfall protection barriers the …

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 …
