Reinforced Drapery Meshes: A Design Method Accounting for Retaining Ropes Contribution

Abstract: Reinforced drapery meshes, both secured and pinned, constitute a compelling solution for rockfall risk mitigation on rock slopes facing structures and infrastructures. They consist of steel wire mesh panels combined with a systematic anchoring pattern. In secured drapery systems, the anchors are connected to each other and to the net through ropes. The system prevents both global instability of the surficial part of the slope thanks to the anchors and local instability by confining small detached fragments in … Show more

“…Despite the strong simplifications made in the standard laboratory punch test procedure [7,18,19,35], the test is global and is used in the design phases of the pinned and secured drapery systems. The laboratory test procedure is defined by international and European standards [14-16], which are based on the Italian Standard UNI 11437 [17] (referred to as UNI).…”

“…The failure of the mesh is most frequently observed in proximity to the anchor plates [7,47] and this has been observed in numerical analyses [18,19]. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that, for sufficiently large punching elements, the mesh resistance is controlled by the available resistance at the mesh-anchor connection, which, in turn, is a function of the number of wires intercepted by the anchor plate.…”
