As a frequent occurring geomorphological process characterized by high energy and
mobility, the rockfall movement is the basis of the disaster prediction and mitigation. In this …

Rockfall hazard in mountainous areas requires the construction of protective structures for
the buildings or transport facilities. Reinforced soil embankments can be effective …

Many existing ground reinforced embankments are experiencing deterioration, meanwhile
the risk of rockfall is aggravated by the weathering and the infiltration of rainfall. However …

Debris flow is a common geological hazard in mountainous area. The large boulders carried
by debris flow can be particularly destructive to downhill facilities. Constructing steel baffle …

In a hilly and congested urban environment, use of reinforced concrete barrier for hillslope
protection is common. With some of these barriers, a layer of gabion is placed in front of the …

Flexible barriers are vulnerable to consecutive rockfall impacts, particularly in mountainous
areas. The barriers deformation, energy absorption, and anti-impact performance can be …

Ground reinforced embankment (GRE) is an economical and efficient protection measure
against rockfalls. In various design guidelines of ground reinforced embankments, the …

Applying rock-filled gabion to buildings in cold regions with mountainous climates has
multiple potentials, such as utilizing rock resources, improving building sustainability and …

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 …

This study deals with an innovative type of protection structure for gravity-driven natural
hazards such as landslides (slope failures, rockfalls, etc.) consisting of a vertical wall made …
