    Default Is your truck strong enough??

    Have you ever wondered how strong those cement barriers are that you see in
    front of military base entrances? I mean, what purpose do they actually
    serve?
    When told that the barriers will stop traffic, even trucks, from approaching
    a secure building, most people respond with a look of disbelief.

    In this test, the following parameters were used.

    Truck = 29.5 tonnes.
    Speed = 80 kph
    Kinetic Energy = 7,456,900 Newton Metres.
    Stopped within 60 cm !!

    If they were really serious theyd be driving a Morris Ambassador into that wall.

    Wouldn't it come out looking like a Peugeot 307 if they did?

    My old '54 Chev would have made it through !
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
