Rock Sheds and Rock Impact Forces
Rockfall tests conducted in Europe and Japan have developed energy equations consistent with the Hertz Contact Theory. A confirming independent approach was developed using Conservation of Momentum, to estimate forces with accidental impact on buried utilities, during Dynamic Compaction on soil...- MHansen
