Abstract

The aim of this paper is to (i) present a new concept of Structurally Dissipating Rock-shed (SDR), (ii) analyze experimental behavior of SDR-slabs under impact load. The analysis is done for two reinforced concrete slabs: a horizontal slab (12m x 4.8 m x 0.28m) and a slanting slab (8m x 4.8m x 0.28m) 3 that both represent reduced slabs (1/3 scale). The analysis (for rock fall energy about 135.10 joules) points out the main mechanisms of deformation and the effect of the sloping of SDR-slabs under impact load.
