Displacement-Based Approach for the Assessment of Overturning Stability of Rectangular Rigid Barriers Subjected to Point Impact

AbstractIn this paper, a new design approach based on the principles of energy and momentum conservation is proposed for the design of free-standing rigid barriers subject to point impact. The nove...
