Abstract:A comprehensive study was conducted to develop and analyze drag coefficients for Variable Message Sign (VMS) structures for incorporation into the AASHTO Supports Specifications. The results and findings of the project are summarized in two reports prepared by Florida International University (FIU) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Report 1 (the current report), which is titled Full-Scale Wall of Wind Testing of Variable Message Signs (VMS) to Develop Drag Coefficients for AASHTO Supports Specifications, presents the experimental research conducted at the FIU Wall of Wind facility to develop the VMS drag coefficients. Report 2, Investigation of Variable Message Sign (VMS) Drag Coefficients for AASHTO Supports Specifications, discusses the experimental and analytical studies conducted at UAB to verify the accuracy of the proposed VMS drag coefficients and investigate the impact of the drag coefficients on the design of VMS structures.
