A gabion is one of the most commonly used cushioning layers to shield protection structures
against boulders entrained in debris flow. Despite the prevalence of gabions, their …

This article investigates the impact response of a recently developed type of rockfall
protection structure, with reduced footprint and consisting of interconnected concrete blocks …

Landslides and rockfalls are major hazards in mountainous regions. The level of hazard
tends to be on the rise amid climate change. Rockfall barriers are constructed as protective …

Gabions are the most commonly adopted cushion layer for shielding rigid debris-resisting
barriers against boulder impact. Despite the prevalent use of gabions, they comprise heavy …

This paper deals with the evaluation of damage due to boulder impact on rockfall protection
embankment thanks to external methods. A 4 m high, 8 m long three layered structure is built …

An experimental investigation involving the use of a full-scale pendulum device to deliver
solid object impact on a reinforced concrete (RC) barrier specimen that was fitted with a …

Résumé On présente les résultats d'expérimentations d'impact sur ouvrages cellulaires

Impact tests on six reinforced concrete slabs with different cushion layers were performed by
dropping concrete boulders from different falling heights. A conventional cushion layer and …

A system of multiple degrees of freedom composed out of three masses and three springs
has been presented in 2008 for analyzing rockfall impacts on protective structures covered …
