16.<\/p>\n<p>Three years of collaborative research combining the expertise of Terre Arm\u00e9e and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univ-gustave-eiffel.fr\/\">Gustave Eiffel University<\/a> (formerly IFFSTAR) teams were distilled to a decisive moment of a mere five seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The premise of thesis and the particularly slender rockfall protection bund using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terre-armee.fr\/reinforced-earth\/reinforced-earth-mechnically-stabilized-earth\/\">Reinforced Earth\u00ae<\/a> technique would either be shattered or withstand the test.<\/p>\n<p>More than a dozen people stood and watched holding their breaths as the giant 12.4-tonne block was released from the crane at 41 m height with a clicking sound, then hit the structure a few seconds later, at no less than 103 km\/h, resulting in an impact of 5.1 megajoules.<\/p>\n<p>They saw all their hard work rewarded by a bund standing solidly; the big block \u2013 \u00a0taller than an adult \u2013 now looking tiny in comparison, firmly embedded in the 15 m x 3 m x 6 m bund.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_4722\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img

great alternative to nets, fences, and barriers <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With its very limited footprint and its great capacity to resist to multiple impacts at high energy, this rockfall bund solution will easily adapt to site constraints.<\/p>\n<p>A series of tests and well calibrated numerical models resulted in a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terre-armee.fr\/about\/innovation\/\">in-house design capacity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing the footprint value opens the possibility for bunds to be used in applications that would typically require rockfall barriers, positioning this solution as a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and aesthetic alternative.<\/p>\n<p>The numerous advantages of Reinforced Earth\u00ae mechanically stabilized earth rockfall bunds include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Site constraints are usually requesting solutions with very limited footprint and therefore solutions with low deformation after impact. While maintaining very high energy absorption, our double sided vertical face bund will address the right-of-way concerns. This unique and patented design will offer the market a new alternative.<\/li>\n<li>The structure can sustain multiple extreme impacts without compromising its stability nor the level of expected protection. The engineered soil as well as the soil-structure interaction are making the structure very resilient.<\/li>\n<li>Reinforced soil bunds offer an easy asset management and cost saving. Barrier systems require significant inspection and maintenance operations. The level of safety of flexible barriers can be compromised by the external conditions and deterioration over time caused by corrosion.<\/li>\n<li>Under impacts at service energy level, an easy and light repair of the skin components can be made while restoring the initial energy absorption performance. Removing the block elements can be done safely. Whenever needed, a full section rehabilitation is also possible in case of repeated severe impacts.<\/li>\n<li>The solution can be built reusing locally available materials. Environmentally friendly by nature, the soil structure blends into the environment and eliminates the risk to animals presented by nets.<\/li>\n<li>Rockfall bunds are easily scalable. The structure can be designed and optimized to address the project\u2019s specific energy requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Should the requirements of a project change with time, the soil bund can be easily upgraded for both a taller interception height and a stronger impact resistance. The upgrade cost remains advantageous as compared to other systems that require a full demolition and reconstruction.<\/li>\n<li>We offer aesthetically pleasing structures that will blend into the local environment. A mineral \/ stone face or green steep slopes can be selected to suit the local landscape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Reinforced Earth<\/strong><strong>\u00ae technique: solutions way beyond retaining walls and bridge abutments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The possibilities of the Reinforced Earth\u00ae technology, invented by Terre Arm\u00e9e founder <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henri_Vidal_%28engineer%29\">Henri Vidal<\/a> almost six decades ago are go, are far from having been explored.<\/p>\n<p>While Terre Arm\u00e9e\u2019s traditional markets are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terre-armee.fr\/reinforced-earth\/retaining-walls\/\">retaining walls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terre-armee.fr\/reinforced-earth\/bridge-abutments\/\">bridge abutments<\/a>, many other applications have yet to benefit from this ingenious invention.<\/p>\n<p>The bund test confirms the tremendous resistance of Reinforced Earth\u00ae structures not only to static loads but also dynamic impacts.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div
