Rubberised concrete has been suggested for structures subjected to dynamic loadings,
such as impact and blast, however, the understanding of the dynamic behaviour with rubber …

Concrete barriers prevent vehicles from entering the opposite lane and going off the road.
An important factor in the design of concrete barriers is impact load, which a vehicle exerts …

Fixed bollards are very significant elements in providing urban roadside safety. These
structures, called passive systems, allow pedestrians and disabled people to use sidewalks …

Anti-collision structures are generally adopted to provide the protection of overpass bridge
piers and reduce the damage of errant vehicles. The present paper introduces a new energy …

Traffic accidents such as vehicle collisions with bridge guardrails occur frequently. These
accidents cause damage to the driver and the vehicle as well as the bridge. A new type of …

Perimeter protection is an important physical protection approach for buildings and

Guardrails are passive safety elements used in roadside safety. They are commonly
manufactured as steel and concrete. There are also guardrail systems in which wood and …

Full-scale experimental crash tests are important to determine the occupant risk factors and
understand barrier system behaviour in vehicle-barrier impacts. Due to the expensive and …

Shielding risky/vulnerable roadside zones in urban areas such as playgrounds, sidewalks,
bus stations, oil/gas stations, and regulators of infrastructure facilities has been a significant …
