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 …

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 …

Rigid barriers can be destroyed by the impact of rock boulders in rockfalls, landslides and
debris flows. An estimation for the maximum magnitude of the impact force is significant for …

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 …

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 …
