In Japan, rockfall protection galleries have been designed on the basis of the allowable
stress design concept. To establish a rational impact-resistant design procedure for the …

In order to establish performance-based impact resistant design procedures for reinforced
concrete rockfall protection galleries, numerical simulation for a half scale rock-shed model …

In this study, in order to investigate impact resistant capacity of existing rockfall protection
retaining wall, weight impact loading tests of the small-scale models were conducted taking …

In Japan, rockfall retaining walls as safety facilities of roads are designed as the gravity type
with a plain concrete structure. In this paper, in order to investigate impact behavior of the …

Galleries are common structures to protect roads and railways from rockfall hazards. The
design concepts in recent guidelines are based on the application of a static equivalent …

This research aims at providing a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of rock fall
protection galleries. To improve the prediction accuracy for the impact load capacity …

In order to accumulate basic knowledge for establishing the rational performance-based
impact resistant design procedures of RC rock-sheds, the consecutive falling-weight impact …

In this paper, a prototype model of reinforced concrete (RC) type rock-shed is numerically
examined by means of three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element based model of RC …

Rockfalls are one of the most prevailing natural hazards in the mountainous regions in
Switzerland. Concrete protection galleries are used to protect the local infrastructure and …

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 …
