Dynamische Einwirkungen auf absturzsichernde Bauteile im Hochbau

Dynamic loads on barriers.

In this article the soft body impact is described for barriers. It describes the normative rules and the background physics for the actual and the future standards. From this follows the calculation models and structural dummy loads for limit cases, this particularly is an important basis for the calculations of the sub constructions, if no experimental tests are existing or testing is not possible. The theoretical considerations of the soft body impact will be compared with practical testing and results of transient FEM simulations.
