English term or phrase: normal energy equivalent event
Ich habe hier ein Problem mit dem Bezug. Bezieht "normal" sich hier auf "energy" (also normal energy) oder "energy" sich auf "equivalent" (also energy equivalent)? Es geht immer noch um das Auftreffen von Steinschlägen auf Verbauungen.

The barrier as a whole is being loaded less through a high speed event compared to a normal energy equivalent event.

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.

Explanation:
Ich denke, gemeint ist: normal (energy equivalent) event. Also: Bei Ereignissen mit gleicher Energie ist die Belastung durch das Ereignis mit der höheren Geschwindigkeit kleiner.

agree  Harry Borsje: yes, high-speed vs. normal (but for proper comparison with the same energy content, so compensated by the mass)
