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 …

To study the mechanical behaviour of the flexible rockfall protection barriers under impact
load, four full-scale impact tests involving protection capacities of 750 kJ and 2000 kJ were …

Flexible steel barriers are commonly constructed on steep hillsides to mitigate rockfall. The

This paper presents a numerical approach for the design of rockfall catchfence based on the
study of the rockfall stabilization works at Route 5 state highway in NJ, US where severe …

The design of todays state-of-the-art rockfall barriers is currently based on experience and
time consuming experimentation. Advanced simulation models are now under development …

The companion paper proposed an analytical solution for design of flexible rockfall barrier
undergoing large deflection. The part one also reported that the elongation of energy …

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

Flexible barriers are one of the effective mitigation measures to intercept high-energy falling
rocks in mountainous areas, owing to its high ductility and excellent energy dissipation …

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 …
