The invention relates to the field of slope protection against geological disaster, specifically relates to a throwing toughness buffer mesh unit for rockfall protection shed-tunnel and design method thereof, and applicable to the collapse and rockfall protection in the fields of transport, land and mine.
Since ancient times, rockfall, collapses, etc. geological disasters have occurred frequently due to two-thirds of mountainous land in China, which seriously threatened the safety of people's lives and properties. For mountainous roads or bridges that have certain demand for road capacity, once collapse or rockfall disaster occurs, such roads or bridges are easily blocked and difficult to pass through, thus seriously affecting the emergency rescue and traffic recovery.
For traditional flexible protection technology, the inclination angle of toughness mesh is designed by experience. Falling rocks can be intercepted, but will naturally accumulate on the toughness mesh after the toughness meshes are used for a period of time, and need to be cleaned away manually; otherwise the performance of toughness meshes will be significantly reduced. Because the toughness meshes are mainly arranged in the wild, mountainous and distant road sections, it is difficult to clean falling rocks and maintain the structure, resulting in poor recoverability of the toughness protection system.
In view of the above problems, the present invention is aimed to provide a throwing toughness buffer net unit for rockfall protection, which features good buffering capacity, self-recovery performance, effective control in rockfall throwing, and convenient for installation and maintenance, and a design method of critical throwing angle thereof.

Due to pulley effect, assuming that T1 and T2 are equal and equivalent to mesh tension T, and taking equivalent stiffness k of the mesh as 6.04×104 N/m under the impact energy of 500 kJ, then according to Hooke's law, the mesh tension T is:
T=k·Δl0=6.04×104×5.165=311.966 (kN)
The direction angles α and β of falling rock at the instant of rebounding under the mesh tension T1 and T2 can be respectively obtained according to the geometrical relationship:
The component forces Fy and Fz along Y axis and Z axis respectively can be calculated as follows:
Assuming that the energy dissipation coefficient η is 0.8, velocity v of falling rock at the instant of rebound can be calculated according to the law of energy conservation:

The time t required for the test block rebounding to the edge of system is:
The height hg of falling rock for rebounding to the edge of system is:
hg=vzt−½=11.466×1.644−½×9.8×1.6442=5.607 (m)
If hg>Δh, the throwing conditions are met.
Through cycling the above steps, it is found that the critical throwing angle meeting the throwing conditions is: θmin=24.3°.
Finally, whether it meets the functional requirements can be verified by experimental research or numerical simulation.
