Rockfall protection embankments (RPEs) represent valuable mitigation measures against rockfalls, however their behaviour during the impact is not yet fully investigated. In this study, several numerical models of RPEs reinforced with double twist wire mesh have been developed using Abaqus/Explicit FEM code. Specific focus is given to the impact of clips installed between adjacent reinforced layers. The study presents and discusses the macroscopic behaviour of these structures with and without clips.

Abstract

Rockfall protection embankments (RPEs) represent valuable mitigation measures against rockfalls, however their behaviour during the impact is not yet fully investigated. In this study, several numerical models of RPEs reinforced with double twist wire mesh have been developed using Abaqus/Explicit FEM code. Specific focus is given to the impact of clips installed between adjacent reinforced layers. The study presents and discusses the macroscopic behaviour of these structures with and without clips.
