Dynamic Barriers for Protection against Rocks Falls

In this paper the most important aspects for designing dynamic barriers for protection against rockfalls are presented. Technological advances in fabrication of metallic materials are increasingly enabling the use of barriers with greater ability to absorb energy. However, in order to establish what...
