Conceptual Analysis of an Aesthetic Bridge Barrier
This report presents computer crash test simulations used in the development of reinforced concrete bridge barriers. Three main categories of barriers are considered: Florida beam and post configuration, Texas T411 barrier, and Modified Standard Florida barrier. The finite element modeling of these barriers subjected to vehicle impact loading is described in detail. Analysis is performed using LS-DYNAeD, a nonlinear, explicit, three-dimensional finite element code. All barrier models presented are impacted with the 2000kg vehicle model, developed by the Federal Highway Administration, at a speed of 100 km/hr and angle of 25 degrees. Results of simulations include impact sequences as well as plots of displacements, velocity and accelerations.
