This book was released on 2021 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 2000s, MwRSF conducted full-scale crash testing on low-tension cable barrier systems installed adjacent to 1.5H:1V slopes. A design was successfully tested according to NCHRP Report 350 criteria, but the tested and approved configuration utilized a 4-ft (1.2 m) post spacing and a 4-ft (1.2 m) offset from the slope break point (SBP). Therefore, NDOT funded this research study to investigate if revisions to the low-tension cable barrier system could be identified which were likely to satisfy MASH requirements and which would be more cost-effective. This research study was conducted to investigate alternative low-tension cable barrier designs and configurations which would be likely to satisfy MASH TL-3 impact conditions and which would improve cost-effectiveness and/or usability for NDOT. Test nos. LTCB-1 through LTCB-5 were conducted on S3x5.7 steel posts at varying offset distances from a 1.8H:1V slope. Test no. LTCB-6 was conducted to evaluate the propensity for S3x5.7 posts to penetrate a small car test vehicle's floor pan, and tearing was observed. Subsequent component tests of an HSS3x2x1/8 tubular post alternative in development for use with high-tension cable median barrier systems was found to provide acceptable performance while mitigating floor pan tearing. Computer simulations were performed to investigate alternative barrier configurations. Various combinations of post spacing, barrier offset, and cable heights were evaluated. It was determined that systems with 3-ft (0.9-m) offset from the slope with 4-ft (1.2-m) post spacing, or 4-ft (1.2-m) offset from the slope with 6-ft (1.8-m) post spacing, may perform acceptably according to MASH TL-3 test designation no. 3-11.

Download or read book Guardrail Performance and Design written by Jarvis Dale Michie and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barrier installations are warranted (or justified) only at highway locations where the consequence of an errant vehicle leaving the roadway is judged to be more hazardous than the impact with the barrier installation. A six degree-of-freedom mathematical model was found to be useful in describing dynamic behavior of a vehicle during impact. Predictions of vehicle and barrier behavior correlated with results obtained from full-scale crash tests. Crash conditions simulated with a computer were used to identify and evaluate vehicle static and dynamic as well as barrier parameters. Vehicle weight, yaw mass moment of inertia, and deformation constant were found to be significant.

(1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.
