A rockfall barrier is a structure built to intercept rockfall, most often made from metallic components and consisting of an interception structure hanged on post-supported cables.[1]
Barriers are passive rockfall mitigation structures adapted for rock block kinetic energies up to 8 megajoules.
Alternatively, these structures are also referred to as fences,catch fences, rock mesh, net fences....
