This article is concerned with the design of steel baffles embedded in soil to contain fallen
boulders rolling down a hill slope, with the buried segment of the baffles cast into concrete …

Debris flow is a common geological hazard in mountainous area. The large boulders carried
by debris flow can be particularly destructive to downhill facilities. Constructing steel baffle …

To arrest rockfall boulders, baffles are constructed as steel members affixed on top of a
concrete footing. Existing designs aim to prevent any footing rotation and steel member …

Steel baffle installed on footing is commonly used to resist and dissipate the impact energy
from boulders carried by debris flow. However, the deformation of a baffle and the resulting …

A form of steel baffles, which is made of steel poles encased in concrete and embedded into
the ground, are introduced in this article. This type of protective installation is to be located …

Landscape Vehicular Anti-Ram (LVAR) systems are a group of protective barriers, which are
designed using natural materials (eg, boulders) and have proven to both effectively protect …

Debris flows occur in multiple surges. Boulders entrained within the flow have been reported
to incapacitate structures within its flow path. Single-layer cushions, such as gabions, are …

The impacts of natural boulders carried by debris flows pose serious risks to the safety and
reliability of structures and buildings. Natural boulders can be highly random and …

This paper the use of a multi-tiered approach for analyzing the effectiveness of stone column
ground improvement to limit deformations of slopes containing liquefiable soil layers. The …

This article investigates the mechanical response of slender rockfall protection
embankments subjected to impacts based on real-scale experiments. More specifically, it …
