The buffering performance of a flexible buffer-sand layer composite cushion used for rockfall shed: experimental and numerical investigation

Y Jin, Z Yu, L Liao, L Zhang, L Luo - Landslides, 2024 - Springer
A common practice in mountainous areas for rockfall protection is to cover the top slab of a
rockfall shed with a thick granular layer to buffer the impact. However, the weight of the sand …

Investigation into the rockfall impact process of a quarry landfill slope under highway expansion

B Gong, X Yu, Y Zhang, C Bao, C Tang - Natural Hazards, 2024 - Springer
A quarry landfill slope is commonly partially or entirely filled with quarry waste. On the
