Abstract

Computer program techniques to simulate a 4.000 1b vehicle impacting the Texas concrete median barriers at various speeds and impact angles are employed. Computer-generated drawings to compare the simulated results with corresponding frames from high-speed films of actual full-scale vehicle-impact tests are used. Results of all simulated impacts with the barrier are presented graphically with regard to a severity index.
