Numerical Simulations of Metallic Foam Safeguarded RC Square Columns under Lateral Soft Impact
When a truck impacts on a reinforced concrete (RC) column such as a bridge pier at a high velocity, a large reaction force would generate which would damage the truck, hurt the passengers and destroy the column. Lightweight foams with excellent energy absorbing performance are often used as safeguar...
