Abstract
In order to resolve the existing problems regarding execution management and operational management, notably the management of structures built using the rock-bonding method for preventing rockfalls on a slope, an investigation was conducted to examine the effects of the construction, the earthquake resistance, and the overall state of such a structure. We found that a rockfall risk vibration assessment can be utilized to examine the effects of construction involving the rock-bonding method. We also observed that structures built using the rock-bonding method are resistant to earthquakes having seismic intensities slightly greater than 6 provided the results of the rockfall risk vibration assessment of such a structure are within a stable region. However, the result was guided by only two units of data, and thus improvement in the reliability of the result is desired. The consideration of these findings during the design and maintenance of structures constructed using the rock-bonding method, coupled with periodic maintenance checks can not only facilitate effective management of these structures but also extend the life of the structures.
