New Upgrade Solution to Highway Concrete Barrier

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are tens of thousands of highway miles with in-service concrete barriers all over the world. Many of them require upgrade to meet new collision protection level. In order to find a reliable and economical solution, authors of this paper develop three solutions in term of different materials and structures. Then, researchers use finite element to verify the effect of each solution and compare their expense. Advantages and disadvantages are discussed in the paper. Moreover, the paper explore the feasibility to adopt one of three solutions in the project in Guangdong province, China.
