Application of modern geotechnologies for protection of territories against rockfall processes

An overview of traditional and modern engineering systems used rockfall protection is given. The main parameters which are considered in the study of stone-fall processes and in the designing of structures against rockfall are analyzed. Features of the calculation and the global experience of using flexible rockfall barriers are described. Keywords: rockfall, structures against rockfall, flexible rockfall protection barriers, trajectory of rockfall, impact energy of rock
