Dynamic Analysis of Road Guardrails: The Case of Albania
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Guardrails play an essential role in enhancing road safety and are extensively utilized in roadway infrastructure. In our country, the high frequency of traffic accidents and resulting injuries highlight the critical need for comprehensive studies on protective barriers. This study analysis the standards for selecting these barriers, the theoretical basis for impact testing, and presents a specific case involving the design and installation of acoustic barriers along a newly constructed route, with attention to wind load impacts. Additionally, an inspection was conducted across approximately 3,062 kilometers of main roadways in the Republic of Albania
