Security Barrier Design
Publication: Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction
Volume 11, Issue 2
Abstract
After a brief introduction on vehicle barriers in general, the writers present a rational basis of determining a design force on security barriers. The design force is derived from rigid barrier impact deceleration values culled from published literature on vehicles with similar kinetic energy. The Appendix provide a summary of references for further study.
