Application | Roadside Safety |
Both the vehicle and the end of the guardrail are deformable bodies, and the vehicle will collide forward to form a trajectory after impact. Once an accident occurs where the vehicle hits the W beam guardrail, the vehicle body itself will be damaged and destroyed, and the W-Beam Guardrail and Terminal end and Some other uncontrollable variables such as body friction on the ground can absorb part of the impact energy. Among them, if the W beam guardrail absorbs the impact energy of the vehicle better, the harm to the vehicle (including the occupants) will be less.
W-Beam Guardrail End Terminals Distinguish Characteristics
1. Square Impact Face. Has a feeder chute (channel section that surrounds the rail) that gets wider at the downstream end.
2. Breakaway steel end posts #1 and #2 and standard steel guardrail posts #3 and beyond.
3. Rail has 3 (1/2”x4” long) slots in the valley of the rail.
4. There may also be an additional 5 slots (1/2”x4” long) on both the top and bottom corrugations of the w-beam section, which makes it interchangeable with the FLEAT section.
5. Cable anchor bracket is fully seated on the shoulder portion of the cable anchor bolts.
6. All hinge steel post, plug weld steel posts, or wood posts available
