Rockfall characterisation and structural protection – a review

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.

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.

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

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.
