… portion of the mesh in a rockfall barrier, the independent factors that lead to the overall
stiffness of the barrier are irrelevant. That is, the full rockfall barrier need not be considered in the …

… flexible rocNfall protection barriers is now established based on results of full scale tests on
prototypes, following standardised procedures [1]. This type of barrier dissipates the energy …

… -slope interactions, it is more advisable to use large-scale approaches that do not simulate
the boulder mechanics and adopt physically based methodologies [42]. Typically, the large-…

… 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 …

… Thus, this simple approach can be preliminarily proved feasible. By applying this simple
approach, the designed impact loading of rockfalls can be easily estimated using basic …

… The objectives of this section are to evaluate the accuracy of barrier design for two rockfall
scenarios following current practice and using the meta-modeling approach. First, two rockfall …
