  2. 8" sch 40 welded pipie set at either end in 4 yrds of concrete will stop it.

  3. Might be, but I would have guessed high-strength steel, not Sch. 40, 80 or xx heavy (which we use for very high pressure applications in the oilfield) I am guessing high tensile strength and set in a large, reinforced concrete base. The truck was stopped as much because it was wedged and the pipe is well-anchored. A dump truck loaded with sand would probably be different. Impressive, though.
