Experiments on pocket-type rockfall protective nets at a real slope

Abstract

Although pocket-type rockfall protective nets are more economical and easier to install, the amount of rockfall energy they can absorb and the locations where they can be used are limited. Because of this, in recent years, a new rockfall protective net, which has built-in shock absorbers to prevent anchor rods from breaking and to absorb considerable rockfall energy due to their function, has been designed. This study was conducted to determine the effective range of implementation for a new pocket-type rockfall protective net, and to confirm the net\u27s reaction and energy absorption capacity upon the introduction of rotational energy approximating the actual behavior of a rockfall
