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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A form of steel baffles, which is made of steel poles encased in concrete and embedded into
the ground, are introduced in this article. This type of protective installation is to be located …

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 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 …

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 …
