| Abstract: |
Flexible protection barriers for natural hazards have made big steps forward towards a more effective and more efficient design. These developments can be attributed to an increase in world market competition in addition to new codes and guidelines and an improved knowledge of the performance of such barriers. This contribution presents the history and the latest developments in flexible rockfall protection barrier technology, their benefits and their drawbacks. |
