FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER/PLASTIC(FRP) COMPOSITE LAMINATE BASED CRASH BARRIER SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminate based roadside Crash barriers system and a method of fabricaiion thereof, as safety barrier for high speed vehicles/automobiles to avert accident/impact due to loss of contro.. The FRP crash barrier system involves W-beam section laminated configuration having required strength, deflection, resilience, impact resistance and other desired properties. The FRP based W-beam crash barrier is economic, light weight, easy to install and maintain. Also, the FRP based W-beam crash barriers have good visibility and reflectivity for longer period. The resilient nature of the FRP laminate barrier ensuring less vehicle damage and injury to occupants on collision. Easy and faster in situ repair and maintenance is also possible for such barriers. The FRP laminate based crash barrier thus ensure wide application as a vital infrastrucuure resource as road side crash barriers for highways, bridges, flyovers and the like applications.
