… Flexible rockfall barriers have been widely used to mitigate rockfalls and protect residential
… of flexible rockfall barriers are conventionally conducted using the full-scale impact tests in …

… rockfall barriers under concentrated areal impact loads. A new bilinear force-displacement
model was incorporated into the model to simulate the behavior of the energy-dissipating …

… load cases are mostly neglected. Therefore, this contribution checks the durability of existing
rockfall protection systems when they are subject to load … the whole impact load on one …

… impact of barrier stiffness on the transmission of load to the structural elements (cables and
posts). Four low energy barriers (… Scientific Seminar on impact load by rock fall and design of …

… an impact loading when it hits a structure. Flexible rockfall barriers are regarded as
passive protection structures and are widely used to protect against rockfall. A typical flexible …

… rockfall and the performance of the barrier are basic findings of tests. Simulation of test
impacts … provides information about the load demand on components of barriers. Test data are …

… of rockfall and barriers. This paper presents three rockfall barriers developed by Colorado
DOT, notes the tools available for rockfall hazard rating, simulation of rockfall dynamics, and …

… This paper explores the viability of designing rockfall barriers without any base restraints.
The barrier is expected to resist impact solely by the inertial effects arising from its self-mass. …

… ABSTRACT: To study the mechanical behaviour of the flexible rockfall protection barriers
under impact load, four full-scale impact tests involving protection capacities of 750 kJ and …

… Moreover, a simple approach for estimating the impact loading of a boulder on a flexible
barrier is proposed in this study. This approach is calibrated and verified using measured …
