Countermeasures for rockfalls are very important to keep stable and safe railway transport. The authors newly developed a simple rockfall protection fence, which consists of component materials in general use and unique mesh nets that are flexible to deform. This report deals with the fundamental tests of the fence components and test procedures. Through systematic full-scale tests, efficient combinations of fence components and foundation types are found pertaining to different ground conditions.
