Analysis of Collisions of Vehicle and Concrete Barrier on Rural Highways

Abstract:

A concrete barrier used on rural highways of China was proposed. The crashworthiness of the concrete barrier was analyzed using the non-linear explicit dynamics FE code LS-DYNA. The finite element models of car, bus and concrete barrier were developed and validated using experimental results. These models can be used to simulate the dynamic collision process and evaluate the performance of the road safety barrier on rural highways. The nonlinear performance of materials as well as the boundary conditions was considered. The results show that the concrete barrier could contain and redirect the car and bus in the collision.
