Description:
(Are all barriers created equal? -No.) <br />
<br />
This was sent by a Civil Engineer who works for the Army<br />
Corp of Engineers:<br />
<br />
'From time to time someone asks me what the concrete<br />
barriers are in front of controlled and secure buildings. When I tell<br />
them that the barriers will stop traffic, even trucks, from approaching<br />
the secured building I usually get a look of disbelief.' <br />
<br />
Truck = 65,000 lbs. ~ Speed = 50 mph ~ Kinetic Energy =<br />
5.5 MILLION ft. lbs. ~ Stopped in 24 inches!!!
