Rock falls are a type of instability that is frequent in rock slopes. The need for protection against these types of phenomena has led to the development of different solutions, including stabilization of slopes with the use of wire mesh with bolts or anchors. The manufacturers have developed manuals and design software for these meshes, however, these tools are for commercial purposes. Likewise, the general lack of knowledge about the design and implementation of these solutions, restricts the design and placement of systems to the manufacturers. The present work aims to establish the influence of the mechanical and geometrical properties of the mass of rock and mechanical of the meshes in the design of stabilization systems for slopes, for which a new design methodology is proposed.
