Rockfall phenomenon is a common event in mountainous areas and presents a serious risk to the nearby buildings or infrastructure. Different protection measures may be taken depending on the site conditions. A reinforced soil bund can be effective in stopping blocks with relatively high speed and kinetic energy. This article presents the response of three reinforced soil bunds subjected to horizontal impacts. The tests are dimensioned in a reduced scale with a factor of 1/3 by following specific similarity rules and assumptions. A rectangular shape with ratio height/width equal to 2 is chosen aiming to have a lower footprint than the dominating trapezoidal shape of existing soil bunds. In order to find the most efficient design, different reinforcement patterns are installed in each bund. The failure mechanisms and the role of the reinforcements are observed with several instrumentations.
