Abstract:An instrumented, simulated bridge pier was constructed, and two full-scale collisions with an
80,000-lb van-type tractor-trailer were performed on it. The trailer was ballasted with bags of sand on
pallets. The simulated pier was 36 inches in diameter and was supported in the longitudinal direction by two
load cells. Force-versus-time data were obtained from the load cells.
Recommendations for possible revisions to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications are
given.
