Abstrakt: ABSTRACTAn experimental investigation of impact test is carried out to study a new multilayered protective structure against rockfall. This structure is composed of a concrete slab and a gravel layer. In order to determine which gravel material should preferably be used between pozzolana and sand small scale experimental impact tests are performed. Realistically scaled experiments show that coupling tires which contain geotextile socks filled with gravel and a thin concrete slab can be an interesting solution to dissipate the impact energy.
