Study Description

The innovative steel beam/honeycomb protective system is anticipated to dissipate a large portion of the energy from the colliding truck by crushing/deforming the honeycombs. The effectiveness of this device has been investigated recently by large-scale testing in collaboration with the researchers at Hunan University, where over-height impact was simulated through a drop hammer system. With the success of the large-scale testing program, the actual field installation of full scale model is deemed necessary to validate its effectiveness to protect existing bridge structures. In particular, this project aims at the following: • Design of the full-scale testing program and selection of bridge site for the field installation; • Custom construction and installation of the full-scale model of the prototype attaching to the existing facial girder of the selected structure; • Full scale testing and evaluation of the system with actual over-height truck impact on site.The innovative steel beam/honeycomb protective system is anticipated to dissipate a large portion of the energy from the colliding truck by crushing/deforming the honeycombs.
