Debris flow is one type of natural terrain hazards that is particularly destructive. In order to
protect the public, mitigation measures such as rigid barriers and baffles are deployed which …

High-strength flexible net barriers have achieved a certain effect in mountainous debris flow
prevention, but research on the mechanism of structural stress and deformation is still …

Accurate determination of impact loads is of great necessity for safe and economical design
of flexible barriers. Nevertheless, measurement of the impact force on a flexible barrier is still …

Debris flow normally occurs after heavy rains in mountainous regions with multiple surges.
Flexible barriers are installed in torrents to intercept debris flows in an early stage. For the …

Rockfall poses a great threat to buildings and personal security. To understand the dynamic
characteristics of rockfalls is a prerequisite for disaster prevention and assessment. Models …

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of system dynamic response, rockfall trajectory
control, and kinetic energy evolution of the tests on the guiding flexible protection system …

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

Flexible rockfall barriers are proven protection systems to mitigate the hazard of rocks falling
on people and infrastructure. To assure that such systems are able to dynamically stop …

Impact force is a crucial factor to be considered in debris-resisting structure design. The
impact of debris flow against a structural barrier depends not only on the flow dynamics but …
