This contribution presents experiments on cellular sandwich rockfall protection structure.
Such structures constitute innovative developments aiming at using the cellular technology …

A model for the design of rockfall protection sandwich structures is presented and evaluated
using results from real-scale experiments. The experiments consist of the impact by a 260 kg …

Protection against falling rocks often requires the building of ci vil engineering structures
such as soil reinforced em bankments. A recent development consists of building a …

Résumé On présente les résultats d'expérimentations d'impact sur ouvrages cellulaires
grandeur réelle, c'est à dire constitués de gabions remplis de différents matériaux. L'objectif …

Rockfall protection embankments are efficient to protect elements at risk against rockfall.
However, these structures present the inconvenient of a large footprint. In addition …

This paper focuses on the modelling of an innovative rockfall protection barrier built with cell
assembly. The mechanical response of geo-composite structures subjected to an impact is …

Résumé The analysis of impact experiments on low energy rockfall protection structures
allowed building a model based on the Discrete Element Method for the design of these …

Cellular sandwich structures constitute efficient technological solutions to protect elements
at risk from rockfall hazard. The design of these structures is for the most part empirically …

This study deals with an innovative type of protection structure for gravity-driven natural
hazards such as landslides (slope failures, rockfalls, etc.) consisting of a vertical wall made …

Rockfall protection galleries typically consist of reinforced or prestressed concrete slabs that
are covered by a granular cushion layer. In general, the cushion layer prolongs the contact …
