Rockfall characterisation and structural protection – a review
Axel Volkwein,Kristian Schellenberg,Vincent Labiouse,Federico Agliardi,Frédéric Berger,F. Bourrier,Luuk Dorren,Werner Gerber,Michel Jaboyedoff +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of previous and current research on the main topics related to rockfall is provided, covering the onset of rockfall and runout modelling approaches, as well as hazard zoning and protection measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Behaviour of Rockfall Restraining Nets by Full Scale Tests
TL;DR: In this article, full scale tests on passive defence against rock falls are presented in a field test site especially designed and built, where the test site has been provided of camera apparatus able to monitor the impact of the block against the fence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental studies on fragmentation of rock falls on impact with rock surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of 20 rockfall tests performed in a quarry in Italy to provide new insight into the fragmentation phenomenon, especially in the case of foliated materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of rocks onto gravel Design and evaluation of experiments
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the impact kinematics is deduced from experimental acceleration measurements, supporting probability-based engineering design of rockfall protection systems with gravel as an energy-absorbing component.

Design of rockfall protection embankments: A review
Stéphane Lambert,Franck Bourrier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main features in the design of rockfall protection embankments and the limitations of the methods used to assess the response of embanks to impact globally fail in satisfactorily considering all the mechanisms involved and estimating their magnitude.
