Roadsteel - improvement of collapse behaviour of all-steel road safety barriers

Objective

The increasing emphasis on the safety plays an even more important role in the general concept of the quality of life. In this context the safety of transportation involves, among others, the aspect of the passive safety given by road barriers. To maintain and possibly increase the use of all-steel barriers some work must be done in order to optimise their performances guaranteeing the requested containment capacities and limiting at acceptable values the weights and hence the costs. This project focuses on the following goals: propose a simulation protocol for the design of safety features in order to give a simplified approach of a complex phenomena; to study the modifications of some all-steel solutions commonly used in order to obtain an in-service acceptable behaviour with respect to the draft CEN specification; to investigate and validate a totally new type of barrier produced with steel- based multilaminate materials.
