The high-strength rockfall net developed in this study is to replace the fallout prevention net method using PVC coating net made of core wire thickness 3.2 mm and tensile strength 290-540 MPa class steel wire. General PVC coating net have low performance, and in the event of falling rocks or surface loss, they cannot withstand the load and are torn, which rather adds to the damage. Developed rockfall net was manufactured using steel wires with a core wire thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 mm and a tensile strength of 1,000 to 2,000 MPa. Test method was referred to the international standard Steel wire rope net panels and rolls-Definitions and specifications (ISO 17746:2016), and was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the punching test. Through indoor punching tests, the load-displacement curves of the general PVC coating network and the developed high-strength capture net (1,000 and 2,000 MPa) were compared, and the maximum Pull-out load was analyzed to be improved by 324.47% (2,000 MPa high-strength net).
