摘要: |
An aesthetic, see-through concrete bridge rail, Type 80, was built and tested in accordance with NCHRP Report 350. The Type 80 bridge rail is an 810 mm-tall, reinforced concrete barrier. The rail has 280 mm-high by 1620 mm-Iong gaps, 230 mm above the bridge deck surface. The barrier tested was 23 m-long and was constructed at the Caltrans Dynamic Test Facility in West Sacramento, California.
A total of three crash tests were conducted under Report 350 test Level 4, one with a 820 kg car, one with a 2000 kg pickup truck and one with an 8000 kg single unit van truck. The results of all three tests were within the limits of the Report 350 guidelines.
The Type 80 bridge rail is recommended for approval on California highways requiring TL-4 bridge rails.
