How to Protect Slope from Rock Falls | Effective and Inexpensive Methods #naturaldisaster

This video will show how to deal with slopes that have loose rocks that may result in rock falls in the future. There are a fee methods that can be successfully used to either prevent rock falls or minimize the damage. These include 1) scaling (removing of loose rocks from the slope); 2) bench to decrease the kinematic energy of the falling rocks and catch some of them; 3) fence to stop bouncing rocks from reaching engineering structures; 4) ditch to catch rocks at the toe of the slope; and 5) drapery (hanging) mesh to constrain the falling rocks. #stability #engineering #education #hazard #geotechnicalengineering More videos related to rock falls: How to Design a Ditch to Catch Rock Falls    • Rockfall Catch Ditch Design Explained | Ri...   How to Perform Rock Fall Analysis using RocFall    • Tutorial 7: Rockfall Analysis in Civil Eng...   How to Perform Rock Fall Hazard Assessment    • How to Perform Rockfall Hazard Assessment ...
