Layers of gravel represent an energy-absorbing system for structures subjected to rockfall.
To support the design of such structures, relations between the penetration depth and the …

This article first proposes a literature-based criterion for evaluating the capacity of protection
embankments in resisting rockfall-induced impacts. The criterion is intended to help …

Over the past two decades, civilian infrastructures have become a target for terrorist attacks.
These attacks often appear in the form of bomb blasts. Understanding the behaviour of …

This paper concerns the protective structures against rock fall. We propose a new concept of
rock-shed protection. The proposed rock-shed protection is made of reinforced concrete …

Studying the effect of dynamic loads on underground structures and applying mitigation
strategies to reduce these effects are important for the safe design of these structures. In this …

Rockfall is one of the major natural hazards that occur regularly in mountainous areas, the
risk associated with which, tends to increase due to climate change. The consequences of …

We have to reduce the disaster caused by rockfall as well as conserve the surrounding
environment. In order to satisfy these requirements, we have proposed new construction …

Impact-resistant design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has a prominent role in
mitigating hazards caused by extreme events. An example of such a structure is the RC …

Rock fall barriers are usually designed considering the possible range of boulder energy
upon impact. Different combinations of mass and speed can result in the same impacting …
