Static load behavior and energy absorption of safety guardrails for construction works

One of the requirements which must be met by the temporary edge protection systems (TEPS) is to stop a worker who walks, stumbles, falls and knocks against the system. The effect of the worker’s crash with the protection system is a dynamic type stress applied as an impact. The capacity of...
