Looking for info on curb impacts. Have a case where a vehicle mounted a concrete curb sideways. Tires stayed inflated. Curb measured only one inch above the pavement. If vehicle had an assigned speed ,say 20 mph , weight and CM available as well , at what height would curb have to be to prevent vehicle from mounting same. For purposes of request assume vehicle mounted curb up to and including both tires on same side. Aside from general info also looking for any published articles on subject.

Thank You,
Bob Genna
