Abstract: | This paper presents the results of computer simulations of road safety barrier behaviour under vehicle crash conditions for high containment levels as mandated by the European standard EN 1317. Simulations were performed with the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA, running on a multiprocessor computational platform. A very good agreement of simulation and real crash tests results was observed, which in turn justifies the use of computer simulations in the process of development and certification of road safety barriers. |
