Numerical Analysis of Concrete Crash Barriers

چکیده
Reinforced concrete crash barriers used in road traffic must meet a number of criteria. Crash barriers are laid lengthwise, one behind another, and joined using specially designed steel locks. While developing BSV reinforced concrete crash barriers (type ŽPSV), experiments and calculations aimed to optimize the shape of a newly designed lock and the reinforcement quantity and distribution in a crash barrier were carried out. The tension carrying capacity of two parallelly joined locks was solved experimentally. Based on the performed experiments, adjustments of nonlinear properties of steel were performed in the calculations. The obtained results served as a basis to optimize the lock design using a computational model that takes into account the plastic behaviour of steel and the influence of the surrounding concrete [6]. The response to the vehicle impact has been analyzed using a specially elaborated complex computational model, comprising both the nonlinear model of the damping wall or crash barrier and the detailed model of the vehicle [7]. Keywords—Crash Barrier, impact, static analysis, concrete nonlinear model.

متن کاملThe Bcd Model for Biomechanical Application
For years, automotive engineers have been working to improve vehicle safety by using dummies, human corpses and animals to test safety systems. However, in most cases, crash tests do not consider drivers differences, much less their reactions. In reality, no one can make real crash tests with living drivers. Current approach is to simulate crashes using a driving simulator to analyze driver’s b...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Motorcycle FE Model for Simulating Impacts into Roadside Safety Barriers
Recent studies have identified roadside safety barriers as a cause of severe injuries and fatalities for motorcyclists. Roadside safety barrier have traditionally been designed with limited consideration for motorcyclist safety since the primary focus was on the safety of occupants of enclosed vehicles. Computer simulations of full-scale crashes between motorcyclists and road barriers would pro...
