New explosive threats face civilian populations each day; therefore, continuous upgrade of the defenses surrounding infrastructure and inhabited buildings is good practice. Today, barriers lack certain abilities such as mitigating shock waves, preventing the creation of secondary debris and the ability to take an impact from a vehicle. Better technology is needed. Testing provides a means to determine empirically, with less time, important parameters being sought for new advances. Several barriers have been built and tested to create a base line to see what a standard concrete barrier is able to do. Testing will then move on to test individual components that make up the barriers to determine how much of an impact they will have. When testi...
