Fall Protection

The installation of draped meshes, metallic nets installed in such a way as to lie against the rock slope surface, is one of the most common ways to protect roads and infrastructure against the detachment of small rock elements in areas prone to rock fall. Despite their frequent and worldwide application, there are no universally recognized guidelines or technical standards to help engineers in their correct design, and no full-scale test results are available where the whole system, composed of several interacting structural components, is tested. In this paper, a full-scale test procedure, which is able to permit the evaluation of the global behaviour of a draped mesh, is described and the results of tests carried out on widely used meshes are presented and discussed.

Roll Stabilization

The effect of ship size on the roll response of smaller vessels is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the prevalence of the shorter wave heights and lengths that will cause heavy, resonant rolling of ships with short natural roll periods. The choices of various stabilizer types for the general classifications of small ships are reviewed. Model basin and full-scale test results of these ships with and without any type of stabilizer are presented. Particular attention is paid to ship types recently bid or delivered.
