The installation of anti-ram bollards around buildings and infrastructures could block potential hazards, including the damage caused by car bombs and vehicular impacts on the buildings. In order to provide effective protection for buildings, the dynamic behaviors of anti-ram bollards should be examined, which is under insufficient research. In this paper, by adopting the FE program LS-DYNA, the FE models of corresponding anti-ram bollards are established, and the FEMs are validated by comparison with the experimental results of five existing vehicle crash tests. On this basis, the dynamic response of the optimized K12 anti-ram bollards under vehicular impact is numerically analyzed, and the influences of various parameters on the deformation of anti-ram bollards, as well as the displacement of the vehicle is studied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14081703","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,17]],"date-time":"2022-08-17T03:15:27Z","timestamp":1660706127000},"page":"1703","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Dynamic Behaviors of Optimized K12 Anti-Ram Bollards"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Defense Engineering, AMS, PLA, Beijing 100850, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruiwen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Heng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Defense Engineering, AMS, PLA, Beijing 100850, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114274","DOI":"10.1016\/j.engstruct.2022.114274","article-title":"Strengthening and retrofitting techniques to mitigate progressive collapse: A critical review and future research agenda","volume":"262","author":"Kiakojouri","year":"2022","journal-title":"Eng.
