A gabion is one of the most commonly used cushioning layers to shield protection structures
against boulders entrained in debris flow. Despite the prevalence of gabions, their …

Rock-filled gabions are commonly installed in front of reinforced concrete structures to
reduce concentrated impact loads induced by rock fall and boulders entrained in debris …

Gabions are the most commonly adopted cushion layer for shielding rigid debris-resisting
barriers against boulder impact. Despite the prevalent use of gabions, they comprise heavy …

Debris flows occur in multiple surges. Boulders entrained within the flow have been reported
to incapacitate structures within its flow path. Single-layer cushions, such as gabions, are …

Rock-filled gabions are widely used to attenuate concentrated impact loads exerted by
boulders entrained in debris flows. However, rock fragments used to construct gabion may …

This article investigates the mechanical response of slender rockfall protection
embankments subjected to impacts based on real-scale experiments. More specifically, it …

A discrete element model consisting of irregular crushable filling particles and a flexible wire
mesh is established. The numerical model is validated against the static net punching test …

Landslide risks arising from boulder falls and debris flows are commonly mitigated using
rigid and flexible barriers. Debris–barrier interaction is a complicated process, so current …

Rock-filled gabions are used to shield barriers and galleries from boulder fall in
mountainous regions. A challenge in the design of rock-filled gabions lies in the estimation …

Soil cushion layers are commonly paved in front of protection structures to avoid the direct
impact of rockfall and debris flow. This study is devoted to investigating the influence of …
