Concrete road enhances fuel saving when compared with bituminous road

Concrete road belongs to rigid pavement and they do not deflect under traffic loads. On the contrary, bituminous pavement deflects when subjected to vehicular load. As such, for concrete road no extra effort is paid on getting out of deflected ruts which is commonly encountered for bituminous pavement. Hence, vehicles using concrete road use less energy and there is about 15-20% less fuel consumed when using concrete road when compared with bituminous road. 

Corrugated crash barriers 

The layout of corrugated beam barriers is that the beams are corrugated in the longitudinal direction so that it provides higher lateral stiffness with a thinner material. Moreover, the distance of beams posts and crashing vehicles are considerably increased. In case the beam barriers are tensioned, it is intended to create a stiff beam erected on relatively weak posts. During vehicle collision, the posts would be separated from the beams and there would be lesser deceleration experienced by the vehicles.
