[0002] With the rapid growth of the number of bridges, the running safety of vehicles on bridge sections has attracted more and more attention. As the last line of defense to protect the driving safety of vehicles, the safety of bridge guardrails is of crucial importance.

[0003] There are various forms of bridge guardrails in China, such as concrete guardrails, combined guardrails, beam-column type steel guardrails, etc. Among them, the beam-column type steel guardrails are increasingly used due to their advantages such as good permeability and landscape effect. However, it is found in actual applications that some beam-column type steel guardrails on bridges have some defects and deficiencies in structural design, which will affect the safety protection performance of the guardrails. Once a vehicle breaks through the bridge guardrail, it is very easy to cause an accident where the vehicle directly collides with the stay cables, which will directly affect the safety of the main body of the bridge. At the same time, all the beam-column type steel guardrails obtained by domestic research are of strong beam and strong column structures, and the material consumption is relatively large, which causes a great burden of permanent load on the bridge body.
