Impacts of European cars and a passanger coach against shaped concrete barrieirs

---

Shaped concrete barriers about 800 mm high, with a lower slope angled at 55ø to the horizontal and a nearly vertical upper slope, are used extensively in the USA on narrow central reserves and as bridge parapets, the most popular being the New Jersey profile. Tests have shown that the New Jersey profile does nor overturn Leyland Mini cars which strike the barrier at a speed and angle of 90 km/h and 20ø appropriate to that which can be generated when a car veer across a two-lane carrigeway. However, at an approach of 113 km/h and 20ø, so that this barrier shape, essentially the same as the American Configuration F, is considered to be acceptable on most roads in the UK. Overlays of the road survey will minimise the benefits of the profile in casual impacts. When the New Jersey barrier was raised 75 mm in relation to the road surface the results indicated that the Leyland Mini will rollover away from the barrier even at an approach of 90 km/h and 20ø appropriate to a two-lane carriageway.
