Design of barriers for impact

本项目旨在量化刚性钢筋混凝土护栏的抵抗能力。这些屏障可以保护山坡上的生命和财产，但基础的建设是昂贵的，以防止巨石的影响。没有地基的独立式钢筋混凝土障碍物在抵御冲击方面可能更便宜和有效，但需要研究以准确量化其抗冲击能力。预期的成果是一项新技术，使建筑环境更安全，更可持续和负担得起。

This project aims to quantify the resistant capacity of rigid reinforced concrete barriers. These barriers can protect lives and property on hill slopes, but construction of the foundation is costly to protect against boulder impacts. Free-standing reinforced concrete barriers without a foundation could be cheaper and effective in countering impact, but need research to accurately quantify their impact resistant capacity. The expected outcome is a new technology to make the built environment safer and more sustainable and affordable.
