| description abstract | As a part of the construction of Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon, in Colorado, three new types of barriers for protection against rockfall were developed through a program of prototype testing, numerical simulation of rockfall events, and analysis of barrier response to impact by boulders. New barriers include a suspended pendulum system that attenuates the kinetic energy of falling boulders, a flexibly mounted fence of steel cables and mesh, and a free-standing mechanically stabilized earth wall. The capacity of rockfall barriers, stated as a limiting translational kinetic energy of falling boulders, ranges from 41 kJ (30,000 ft | |
