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 …

Flexible barriers have been widely applied in rockfall mitigation in recent years. However,
the behavior of flexible barriers under the impact of boulders is still not fully understood. To …

This paper investigates the dynamic response of low energy, semi-rigid rockfall barriers. The
study is based on a FE model that reproduces the geometry, components and connections …

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 …

This paper presents a new numerical strategy for the design and verification of flexible
falling rock barriers: passive protection measures for risk mitigation of potentially unstable …

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 …

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 …

Most of the recent research on rockfall and the development of protective systems, such as
flexible rockfall barriers, have been focused on medium to high levels of impacting energy …
