Abstract

An energy-absorbing bridge railing using the plastic deformation of steel rings is reported. The development program included full-scale testing and the use of the BARRIER VII computer program. The results of the full-scale crash tests ranging from 907 kg subcompacts to 18144 kg buses and tractor-trailers are discussed.
