Zusammenfassung |
The need for protection against rockfall has led to the development of
different types of technological solutions that are able to both prevent
blocks from detaching from rock walls and to control, intercept or deviate
the blocks during movement. Of the many devices that are able to intercept
and stop a block, one of the most frequently used is net fence. Many
different types of full-scale tests have been carried out, with different
test site geometries and procedures to study their behaviour and to certify
these devices. This has led to a series of data and information that are not
easy to compare. The recent endorsement, by the European Organization for
Technical Approvals (EOTA), of a European Technical Approval Guideline
(ETAG), which defines how to test and assess the performance of a net fence,
is therefore a great innovation that will change both the market and the
design procedures of these devices. The most important innovations
introduced by this new guideline are here presented and discussed and a net
fence design procedure for protection against rockfall is provided. |
