W Beam Guardrails are a type of roadside barrier commonly found along highways and other roads. They are used to protect vehicles from impact with other objects, such as trees and rocks. These barriers are usually made of steel, although some are galvanized for added durability. The main differences between W Beam guardrails and steel guardrails are in their design and construction. The W Beam guardrail consists of two wave-like longitudinal steel beams, connected by strong spacing elements between them. This design makes them more resistant to vehicle impact, compared to straight steel guardrails which can be deformed or damaged more easily. The top rail of W Beam guardrails are usually tapered so that they absorb more energy when a vehicle strikes them. Furthermore, W Beam guardrails have more flexibility in terms of length and height, making them suitable for various types of roads. In terms of maintenance, W Beam guardrails require periodic inspection and repairs in order to maintain the safety of travelers on the roads. It is also important to note that many countries require different standards for W Beam guardrails depending on the region, so it's essential to check the local regulations before installing them.
