I was invited by Geobrugg to attend a revolutionary test 1:1 in Winterthur (CH) October 9, 2012. It was a full-scale test to verify/ceck the behavior of the flexible steel mesh on a platform that simulates a slope landslide. Video procedure are linked belowe.
I seem to be back at the beginning of 90’s with the first full scale tests on rockfall barriers organized form Tubosider in France, Igor in Italy and Geobrugg in Switzerland. After 20 years of test 1:1 on rockfall barrier could be organize a “Technical Guideline to 1:1 test on felxible nettings” to standardize the procedure to test in full scale the nettngs on slops? What do you think?? Thomas
