Impact test specifications for vehicle security barrier systems. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) cites a classification system for the performance of vehicle security barriers (VSBs) and their supporting foundations when subjected to a single horizontal impact. This PAS specifies two test methods of determining the performance classification of VSB systems:

• • the vehicle impact method;
• • the design method [which includes the use of finite element analysis (FEA) techniques if validated by test data].

This PAS does not cover the performance of a VSB system when subjected to blast or ballistic impact.
