Abstract

This is the second of two companion papers that describe the performance assessment for flexible rockfall protection systems. Described in a companion paper is the criteria to assess the performance of flexible rockfall protection systems. In this study the performance assessment of domestic rockfall protection fences was implemented using the criteria suggested in the companion paper. It was investigated that the rockfall protection fences for express highways performed well to resist the rockfall energy of 50kJ and the deformed rockfall protection fences right after impacting would not obstruct the vehicle traffic. However, to dissipate the rockfall energy of 50kJ with the level of European standards constantly, the spacing of wireropes was adjusted to be 200mm up to the 8th wirerope from the bottom and spacing-maintainers should be extended to the 8th wirerope. It was figured out that the rockfall protection fences for general highways were required to install spacing-maintainers as those for express highways because they, which did not have spacing-maintenance members, were very prone to the penetration of rockfall even for the very small rockfall impact energies.

본 연구는 낙석방지울타리의 성능평가에 관한 두 개의 동반논문 중에서 두 번째 논문이다. 동반논문에서는 낙석방지울타리의 성능평가에 필요한 성능평가기준을 제시하였고 본 논문에서는 동반논문에 제시된 성능평가기준을 이용하여 국내 낙석방지울타리의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 고속도로용 낙석방지울타리는 50kJ의 낙석이 발생하는 장소에서 적절하게 낙석을 방어하고 50kJ 정도의 낙석이 충돌한 직후에도 차량 통행을 방해하지 않을 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 유럽지침의 수준으로 50kJ의 낙석에너지를 항상 소산시키기 위해서는 아래에서 8번째 와이어로프까지 와이어로프의 간격을 200mm로 조정하고 간격유지대를 연결하여야 한다고 판단되었다. 그리고 간격유지대가 없는 국도용 낙석방지울타리는 상당히 작은 낙석충돌에너지에 대해서도 낙석의 관통가능성이 높기 때문에 고속도로용과 같이 간격유지대를 설치할 필요가 있다고 파악되었다.
