Note. In the formula of the existing calculation method, denotes the impact force of falling rock, (kN); (Z) denotes the unit resistance of rockfall impact on the buffer layer (kPa); VR denotes the impact velocity (m/s) when rockfall contacts the buffer soil layer; Φ denotes the density of the layer (kN/m3); g denotes the acceleration of gravity (m/s2); and F denotes the cross-sectional area of the equivalent sphere of rockfall (m2).
