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 …

Field investigations and back analyses were conducted on a rockfall hazard. The flexible
barrier protection system constructed along the roadside was damaged by the rockfall …

Rockfall is a common geological hazard in mountainous areas and can pose great danger
to people and properties. Understanding the impact forces induced by a single rock or a rock …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In the design of multiple rigid barriers, the height of the first barrier governs the impact
dynamics of debris flow on the next barrier in a channel. However, current design …

Debris flows travel downslope at high speed and often cause damage to the infrastructure of
societies around the world. With increasing extreme rainfall events and urbanization in …

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 …

Protection barriers against the fall of boulders and rocks are structures with non-linear
mechanical behaviour that make the study particularly complex. In this study, the …
