The high-strength rockfall net developed in this study is to replace the fallout prevention net method using PVC coating net made of core wire thickness 3.2 mm and tensile strength 290-540 MPa class steel wire. General PVC coating net have low performance, and in the event of falling rocks or surface loss, they cannot withstand the load and are torn, which rather adds to the damage. Developed rockfall net was manufactured using steel wires with a core wire thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 mm and a tensile strength of 1,000 to 2,000 MPa. Test method was referred to the international standard Steel wire rope net panels and rolls-Definitions and specifications (ISO 17746:2016), and was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the punching test. Through indoor punching tests, the load-displacement curves of the general PVC coating network and the developed high-strength capture net (1,000 and 2,000 MPa) were compared, and the maximum Pull-out load was analyzed to be improved by 324.47% (2,000 MPa high-strength net).

This study is focused on developing a technology to prevent high-strength wire net from expanding damage due to insufficient performance of the existing PVC coating net. For the test method, reference was made to ISO 17746, an international standard. In addition, as a result of referring to the test criteria, a wire net was fabricated with a width of 1,000 mm or more a size of 1 m² sample. load-displacement curve of the test results was compared to analyze how much performance was improved compared to the existing PVC coating net.

Although standards related to falling stone facilities are established in Korea, the absorption energy of the rockfall prevention net is evaluated from the passage of rockfall and destruction of the rockfall prevention net on field test. The existing PVC coating net does not sufficiently suppress the rockfall load and tears frequently occur, and a high-strength wire rockfall net was developed to prevent. In this study, the performance was analyzed through field tests of the existing PVC coating net and the developed high-strength rockfall net (1,000 MPa, 2,000 MPa).
