… to mitigate rockfall. The evaluation of the dynamic response of proprietary flexible barriers is
conventionally performed using full-scale field tests by dropping a weight onto the barriers in …

… The three barriers reported here are useful as options to ditches, berms, rigid fences, and
rigid walls of rockfall protection for highways. This paper provides a summary of barriers …

… dynamic behavior of the flexible barrier, there is limited understanding of the dynamic response
