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 …

This study investigates the effectiveness of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA)
as a novel cushion material mitigating repeated rockfall impacts on reinforced concrete (RC) …

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 …

At present, the gabion is widely used in practical engineering due to its good working
performance. However, the research on the mechanical characteristics of gabion and the …

An enormous amount of construction and demolition waste is generated globally every year,
and it increases disposal costs in landfills. The advantage of adopting crushed concrete …

Cases of rockfalls that occurred on a slope in the Selendi District of Manisa Province are
evaluated in this article. Field studies are evaluated and different measures are examined to …

This paper proposes a Whipple structure to enhance the impact resistance of
graphene/aluminum alloy composites by varying the interlayer spacing between graphene …

Rock sheds are widely used to prevent rockfall disasters along roads in mountainous areas.
To improve the capacity of rock sheds for resisting rockfall impact, a sand and expandable …

This study investigates the dynamic behaviour between a rockfall and a new anchor cable
ribbed rockfall retaining wall on a rock shed, by way of numerical simulations involving the …

This textbook covers the collision of a moving, falling or flying object on a rigid barrier or a
structural element, and the transmission of the transient action to the rest of the structural …
