The Reconstruction Scheme Design and Experiment of the Height-Adjustable W-Beam Guardrail

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pave overlay to the freeway repeatedly causes the guardrail’s height lower and lower, which seriously influences its performance in protection and safety. The paper aims to work out a height-adjustable W-beam guardrail which is economic, feasible and safe to solve the shortage in barrier’s height causes from paving overlays by computer simulation tests and full-scale crash tests, which will improve the roadside safety of the guardrail and save the reconstruction cost.
