Vehicle Barrier Design
Vehicle Barrier Design
(OP)
Greetings,
I have a question pertaining to vehicle barrier design for buildings. IBC requires that these barriers be designed for a load of 6000# acting at a height of 18". What is the width transverse to the load that you assume this load to be distributed? I know AASHTO allows you to assume a 5 foot width transverse to the load. Do you use the same assumption to design the wall and the anchors that support it? I have found no such provision in IBC. How do you design your vehicle barriers?
Thanks
