Session: Rock Engineering and Civil Infrastructures

ABSTRACT: ETAG 027, the guidelines governing the certification of rockfall catchment fences, has been in place since 2008 across Europe, where the majority of the system producers are situated. It only focuses on two topics - the standardized approval procedure and the assurance of quality by the certification of the factory production control. A new guideline is now available in Austria that focuses on the site investigation, design, construction and maintenance of rockfall catchment fences, as well as other forms of rockfall mitigation. This document is the fiONR 24810, Technical protection against rockfall Terms and definitions, effects of actions, design, monitoring and maintenancefl and is described herein.

RÉSUMÉ: ETAG 027, la directive concernant la certification des systèmes anti-éboulis est établie depuis 2008 en tout l™Europe, où la majorité de producteurs est située. Cette directive traite les deux thèmes: la méthode standardisée de l™agrément et la sécurité de la qualité par la certification du système de contrôle de la production en usine. En Autriche, maintenant une nouvelle directive est disponible, qui contient l™enquête en site, le calcul de structures, la construction et la maintenance des systèmes anti-éboulis, mais bien sûr aussi les autres mesures de protection contre les chutes de pierre. Ce document s™appelle fiONR 24810, Protection technique contre les chutes de pierre - termes et définitions, effets, calcul de structures, surveillance et maintenance » et il est décrit en ceci.
