crash cushion model V100/5:6on the A739 Clyde Tunnel southern approach, after

a heavy impact with a Peugeot 106 travelling at 60 mph. The driver walked away from the crash.

Note that the crash cushion stays within the originalenvelope and that the back-stop is undamaged.

The progressive concept of the crash cushion system is based on more than forty years of experience in designing road restraint systems.

All models of the crash cushion system consist of hollow cylinders arranged in rows. They are highly effective energy and impact absorbing elementswhich are guided by a steel wire rope system. Onceinstalled, the system elements of the crash cushion do not require any maintenance.

Full corrosion protection is provided by a hot-dipped galvanised finish. All components are made of steel andmay be completely recycled.

The usual method of anchorage is to install a pre-fabricatedsteel former, then fill it with concrete. Threaded anchorageswelded to the reinforcing bars enable thecrash cushion to be bolted straight into place, on the reinforced concrete foundation.

model P100/2:8. Bridge at Kilmorack over the River Beauly, Highland Council.

The cushion cylinders arefixed to the back-stop viaadjustable plates to give

perfect alignment.

For head-on or side-on impacts,smaller cylinders mounted inpanels and fixed to the back

stop ensure maximum energydissipation and containment.The wire rope is connected tothe backstop and tensioned by

the M36 nut.

The absorbing area in thecentre does the main work ofdeformation in the event ofside-on or head-on impacts.Every hollow cylinder has an individual deformation feature due to inserted

filling elements (SF).

The deflector shields providesmooth gliding of a vehicle

impacting on the side duringredirection. All protruding

edges are rendered safe bysoft protection.

Rigid telescopic tubes near thenose of allow thefront cylinders to wrap around the

errant vehicle keeping it stable.Thereafter the intermediate elements and cylinders fold progressively and absorb theremaining energy of impact.

The wire rope guidance system ensures that during

head-on impacts collapses in

a controlled direction and during side-on impacts itensures safe deflection of

the cushion.

connects toOpen Box Beam which can, in turn, transition to Double

Height Open Box Beam.

Connection and transition ofthe back-stop of the crash

cushion to a profiled concrete protection wall by

means of prefabricated special elements.

These pictures demonstrate the installation (under construction) of seven crash cushions, model V100/3:13, on the A90 / M90 Forth Road Bridge Toll Plaza.

The formers are shown before and after the concrete fill.

Protection is needed for the toll booth personnel and booth structures. The reinforced base provides threaded anchorages for the back-stop and cableanchors, and if impacted , willensure that all energy from an errant vehicle will be dissipated by means of the cushion system without the cushion spreading outwards, thus preventing a secondary accident in the other bays.
