Abstract:This study consisted of strength analyses of five in-service bridge railing
systems, thirty full-scale vehicle crash tests on those railing systems and
on a load measuring wall, the development of recommended design guidelines and
deve1opment of recommended performance standards.
The spectrum of vehicles addressed ranged from an 1,800 lb Honda sedan to a
32,000 lb intercity bus.
Some of the in-service railings were found to have poor performance in fullscale
crash tests. This was primarily due to geometry of the railing; however,
deficiencies in strength were also discovered.
