Book Description
Two crash tests are required to evaluate portable concrete barriers, such as Washington Department of transportation (WsDOT) Type 2 concrete barriers, to NCHRP Report 350 test level three (TL-3). NCHRP Report 350 test designation 3-10 involves an 820 kg passenger vehicle impacting the critical impact point (CIP) of the length of need (LON) section at a nominal speed and angle of 100 km/h and 20 degrees. NCHRP Report 350 test designation 3-11 involves a 2000 kg pickup truck impacting the CIP of the LON section at a nominal speed and angle of 100 km/h and 25 degrees. Finite element analysis using LS-DYNA was used to simulate NCHRP Report 350 test designation 3-11 with the 2000 kg pickup truck on the standard Type 2 concrete barrier with a pin and loop connection and two modified pin and loop connections. In subsequent full-scale crash tests, both the standard and a modified concrete barrier met the evaluation criteria of NCHRP Report 350 for Test 3-11. For each of the two pin and loop configurations crash tested, the Washington Type 2 concrete barrier met the evaluation criteria of NCHRP Report 350 for test 3-11.

NCHRP Report 350 Testing of Montana Portable Concrete Safety Shape Barriers
Author: Eugene Buth
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Roads
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The existing Montana Department of Transportation (DOT) concrete median barrier sections are 3.048 m (10 ft) long New Jersey shaped barriers with a pin-and-loop connection. Two pairs of 25 mm (1 in.) diameter wire rope loops are connected using a 660 mm (26 in.) long, 25 mm (1 in.) diameter pin that is not restrained at the bottom. Since the system has a low probability of complying with the NCHRP Report 350 guidelines, and the expected dynamic barrier deflection under design impact conditions is greater than desired by Montana DOT, two alternate barrier connection concepts were proposed and evaluated using computer simulations. These included a modified pin-and-loop connection and a newly conceived lapped splice connection. After these two designs appeared to perform acceptably during simulation, the proposed designs were constructed for full-scale crash testing to determine whether the designs would actually meet NCHRP Report 350 crash test criteria. This report presents the details of the simulation analysis, the details of the proposed barrier designs, the details of the full-scale crash tests, and the NCHRP Report 350 evaluation of each of the tests. Both the modified pin-and-loop barrier and the lapped splice connection barrier performed acceptably for NCHRP Report 350 test 3-11.

Development of a Plan for Compliance with NCHRP 350 for Temporary Concrete Barriers
Author: Muhannad Zubi
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Report (National Cooperative Highway Research Program).
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The Federal Highway Administration has mandated that temporary concrete barriers (TCBs) used on federally funded projects on the National Highway System advertised after October 1, 2002 shall meet the requirements of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350. The State's present TCB system design is not approved as meeting the NCHRP 350 requirements, and even with modifications it is not likely to meet those standards. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Arizona industry partners are to evaluate many key factors in the ADOT's effort to develop an NCHRP 350 compliance plan for TCBs. Arizona intends to adopt the most valid non-proprietary TCB design, out of already approved designs, for future use in Arizona.

Development of an NCHRP Report 350 TL-3 New Jersey Shape 50-inch Portable Concrete Barrier
Author: Chuck A. Plaxico
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Concrete
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
For roadside work-zones in areas that have opposing traffic flow, safety is enhanced if the temporary barriers incorporate a "glare-shield" that blocks headlight glare from opposing traffic. Currently-available 32-inch portable concrete barriers require the use of an add-on glare shield attached to the top of the barrier. The add-on glare shields are an extra expense and complicate barrier set-up and handling. An alternative solution was to develop a 50-inch high portable concrete barrier which is tall enough to serve as its own glare-shield. Finite element analysis was used to investigate various barrier shapes and connection schemes to identify a successful crashworthy design that would meet requirments of NCHRP Report 350 Test level 3. A 50-inch portable concrete barrier design was developed based on the results of the finite element analyses and was crash tested at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio. The system successfully met all safety criteria of NCHRP Report 350 and has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration for use on the National Highway System as a test level 3 device.
