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 …

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 …

Flexible barriers are an effective type of mitigation measure against debris avalanches in
valleys and can affect the kinetic energy and mass of debris avalanches. To investigate the …

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 …

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,
进行了系统破坏特征的统计与研究, 结合现行各国技术现状, 分析了关键结构部件的破坏机理 …

The so-called “bullet effect” refers to the perforation of a rockfall protection mesh by impact of
a small block, which has a kinetic energy lower than the design value, where the design …

Anchored wire meshes are commonly adopted to stabilize potentially unstable soil slopes.
This reinforcement technique, employed either as an active or a passive anchoring system …

The flexible rockfall barrier system exhibits large deflection and complex contact behaviors
such that sophisticated finite element method and full-scale test are widely used to design …

Flexible rockfall barriers are protection structures used to mitigate rockfall hazards in
mountainous areas. The complex nonlinear mechanical behavior of these structures under …
