A computational design optimization method for rockfall protection embankments

In this study, an optimization method based on numerical rockfall simulation is proposed to determine the layout design of a protection embankment, including its position and length on a construction site. Stopping rockfalls farther away from the slope toe requires a lower embankment since the movem...
