Abstract:A series of eight full-scale crash tests were conducted on five luminaire and sign supports. The test articles were embedded in S-1 soil as per NCHRP No. 230 recommendations. The test vehicles used for all eight impact tests were 1979 Volkswagen Rabbits with the test mass adjusted to be In the range of 1800 + 50 lb. A triaxial accelerometer was placed near the vehicle center gravity (e.g.) to record the vehicle decelerations. Each test event was covered with one real-time and three to four high-speed movie cameras. The data acquired from the tests were processed as per NCHRP No. 230 procedure. The results were evaluated against the dynamic performance requirements specified in the most recent AASHTO and NCHRP No. 230 documents. The detailed test and evaluation results and the test reports are presented in this final report. This report is published in two parts. They are: • "Luminaire and Sign Supports - Executive Summary".
