Research and new concepts in guardrail design
Six year research program is described which resulted in complete revision of standard barrier designs for roadsides, medians, and bridges specified by New York State Dept of Public Works; study included comprehensive theoretical analysis of forces generated between vehicle and barrier during impact; four mathematical models are produced capable of predicting trajectory of vehicle in collision with given barrier; dynamic tests on various guard rail posts imbedded in different types of soil contribute to determination of barrier system and optimization of post size and embedment conditions.
