This RPE (Rockfall Protection Embankment) has a length of approx. 80 m and total height of 4.5 m. It was designed to resist a rock mass impact of 7,700 kJ thus an impact velocity of 25 m/s. The RPE is designed as back-to-back 70 degrees reinforced soil slope, with medium grade strength geogrids.

 

A new design method was developed to assess the geosynthetic reinforcement behavior and the dissipation energy in case of a not perpendicular block impact.

Over the RPE, it was also placed and secured a 3,000 kJ capacity dynamic rockfall protection barrier.
