This article discusses development of crash rated barriers intended to mitigate attacks by heavy goods trucks. High-fidelity, physics-based (HFPB) simulations to screen performance of various barrier designs will be presented. The performance of barriers will be analyzed when impacted by a heavy goods truck traveling at different speeds. Judicious use of computational modeling can result in shorter design cycles and might require physical testing for limited cases, thus resulting in more cost efficient designs. Lessons learned from the study presented in this paper can be applied to other barrier types.
