Abstract

Results of eight full scale vehicle impact tests into energy absorbing barriers employing water-filled plastic cells and cartridges are reported. This barrier absorbs the energy of an impacting vehicle through the movement of water horizontally, as the barrier is shortened, and vertically, through orifices, as the flexible water cells and cartridges are compressed. See for the first four tests also PA 7084
