An energy-absorbing guardrail terminal has a plurality of beams (14A), extending substantially parallel to one another, and having at least one overlapping end (31); a plurality of break-away support posts (18) coupled to and supporting the plurality of beams; a plurality of fasteners (64) for coupling the plurality of beams to one or more of the plurality of break-away posts; and an arrangement for creating a substantially square wave of energy absorption during telescoping of the plurality of beams during a forceful impact of a vehicle on the energy absorbing-guardrail terminal. The substantially square wave may be created by a plurality of openings formed on the plurality of beams that are operable to encounter a plurality of fasteners during a forceful impact by a vehicle on the energy absorbing guardrail terminal.

L'invention concerne une extrémité de glissière de sécurité absorbant l'énergie, comprenant plusieurs poutres (14A) s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement les unes aux autres, et présentant au moins une extrémité chevauchante (31); plusieurs poteaux de rupture porteurs (18) accouplés aux poutres et les supportant; plusieurs attaches (64) pour l'accouplement des poutres à au moins un des poteaux de rupture; et un système pour créer une onde carrée d'absorption d'énergie pendant le télescopage des poutres lors qu'un impact violent d'un véhicule contre l'extrémité de la glissière de sécurité absorbant l'énergie. L'onde sensiblement carrée peut être créée par plusieurs ouvertures formées sur les poutres qui sont conçues pour venir buter contre les attaches lors d'un impact violent d'un véhicule contre l'extrémité de la glissière absorbant l'énergie.
