Does a deeper foundation mean a stronger vehicle barrier?
In this Delta Scientific pre-construction design video, Keith Bobrosky breaks down the differences between shallow foundation and deep foundation crash-rated vehicle barriers and explains why foundation depth is primarily an installation and site-design consideration.
Using the Delta Scientific DSC2000 shallow foundation vehicle barrier as an example, we explore how a high crash rating can be achieved with minimal foundation depth by using a larger foundation area.
You’ll also learn how site conditions can influence the right foundation design, including:
• Underground infrastructure, cable conduits and other excavation obstacles
• Available concrete and rebar footprint
• Existing fence lines and adjacent foundations
• Roadway construction and lane access requirements
• Sump size and debris collection
• Barrier maintenance intervals
Deep foundation barriers can provide a smaller lateral concrete footprint and larger sump capacity, allowing more room for debris collection and potentially longer intervals between cleanouts.
Shallow foundation barriers can reduce excavation depth and help accommodate sites where underground infrastructure makes deeper installation difficult.
The right foundation depends on the crash protection required and the realities of the site.
