TESTS DE MERLONS AMORTISSEURS SUR UNE STATION D'ESSAIS D'IMPACTS PENDULAIRES TESTS ON SHOCK-ABSORBER STRUCTURES ON A SWINGING IMPACT SITE

In the framework of ANR project Rempare, four rockfall shock- absorber sandwich structures have been tested on the swinging impact site of CER. It has been observed that according to their core nature, deformation and energy diffusion that take place are different. This paper describes the impact site, experimentations and a behavioural comparison of tested structures.
