Due to limitations associated with field tests and equipment, the majority of the research
conducted to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of rockfall protection barriers considers …

In order to study the influence of falling rock shapes on their rolling characteristics and to
determine the optimization of falling rock protection design, a series of research experiments …

Today's flexible rockfall protection barriers have reached a development stage above which
a much greater effort is required to extend their rockfall retaining capacity. The …

The trajectory of a rolling stone begins and is characteristically accompanied by a certain
initial rotation. Considering the influence of the initial rotation, the four basic motion forms of …

Soft rockfall barriers are complex structures that generally consist of a metallic net supported
by steel posts and cables with brake elements. Several experimental and numerical studies …

This paper presents the mitigation of rockfall hazard on the large‐scale rock slope using the
field tests with numerical simulation. To this end, field tests including the pendulum test and …

In this communication, the influence of the impact location and boulder shape is studied to
assess the efficiency of net fences (under such impacts). This work should contribute to …

To explore the influence of rock shape on rolling distance and effectively mitigate rockfall
hazards, the following research was conducted. Factors influencing the rolling distance of …

Most of the recent research on rockfall and the development of protective systems, such as
flexible rockfall barriers, have been focused on medium to high levels of impacting energy …

To delineate the mechanics behavior of semi-rigid rockfall protection barriers, the energy
dissipation mechanism of the system was investigated based on energy calculation theory …
