Book Synopsis Evaluation of Bridge Approach Rails by : Roger P. Bligh
Download or read book Evaluation of Bridge Approach Rails written by Roger P. Bligh and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent study on the performance of guardrail-to-bridge rail transitions revealed that many widely used designs do not meet current safety standards. As a result, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requested that the Arizona Department of Transportation verify the safety performance of its standard transition designs. Three transition designs currently being used by ADOT were evaluated through a combined program of computer simulation and full-scale crash testing. The standard ADOT wood post transition, incorporating a channel rubrail and two different sizes of timber posts at a reduced post spacing near the bridge rail end, was found to be in compliance with National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 230 performance criteria. The standard ADOT steel post transition with channel rubrail was also found to be in compliance with NCHRP Report 230 requirements when impacted near the end of the bridge rail. However, the upstream end of the steel post transition required modification to eliminate deficiencies identified during testing. The modified design, which terminated the channel rubrail behind a W6x9 guardrail post, was successfully crash tested.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Guardrail to Concrete Bridge Rail Transitions by : Roger P. Bligh
Download or read book Evaluation of Guardrail to Concrete Bridge Rail Transitions written by Roger P. Bligh and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2001, the Design Division and Bridge Division of Texas Department of Transportation released a new standard for an approach guardfence to concrete bridge rail transition that complies with the testing requirements of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 for use on high-speed roadways. The purpose of this research was to develop a transition that is suitable for use on lower speed roadways and that is less expensive and complex than the current high-speed design. A low-cost transition was successfully evaluated at 45 mph impact speeds under NCHRP Report 350 Test Level 2 conditions. A second objective of the project was to evaluate the need for the curb detail that is one of the design elements of the newly adopted thrie beam transition design. Elimination of the curb would greatly enhance installation flexibility and reduce installation cost. The assessment of the curb was accomplished through full-scale crash testing.

Book Synopsis Analysis and Design of Railway Bridges by : Mohiuddin Ali Khan
Download or read book Analysis and Design of Railway Bridges written by Mohiuddin Ali Khan and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis and Design of Railway Bridges brings together the analytical tools and design methods necessary to accurately interpret the complex design requirements in the selection process and construction of robust railway bridges. When designing railway bridges, design engineers must face a number of unique structural challenges such as: dead load of the structure, live loads from the carried, frequency of traffic, and dynamic components of the traffic such as impact, centrifugal, lateral, and longitudinal forces. This means the use of complex modeling tools for the selection of proper design criteria. This reference provides a clear and rigorous exposition of the various codes which govern design including: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Railroad Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association, Federal Highway Administration and the Eurocode for dynamic factor, dynamic loading and load combinations, bridge parameters, modelling of excitation and dynamic behaviour, and verification for fatigue. Explains codes including: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, American Railroad Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association, Federal Highway Administration, and the Eurocode Addresses the unique aspects of railway bridge modeling such as: bridge and train modeling techniques, substructure details, structural steel details, prestressed concrete details, and bridge railing and approach rail details Includes design and analysis methods and calculations as well as applications and solved examples Provides the analytical tools and design methods necessary to interpret complex design requirements
Book Synopsis Testing and Evaluation of the Florida Jersey Safety Shaped Bridge Rail by :

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this portion of the project were to: 1) determine if any or all of the three subject variants of the 32-inch (813 mm) Jersey safety shaped bridge railing comply with the requirements of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 Test Level 4 (TL4), and 2) provide recommended retrofit schemes, if deemed technically and economically feasible, to bring into compliance the railings that do not comply. Full or partial replacement schemes may also be recommended as appropriate. The most direct approach for accomplishing the objectives of this task was to perform a full-scale crash test of the most critical design. If that railing performed satisfactorily, the railing would be acceptable by AASHTO LRFD Specifications. The strength test was selected, NCHRP Report 350 test 4-12, a single-unit van-type truck weighing 17,6211b (8000 kg). The TL-4 vehicle is a single-unit box-van truck impacting the railing at 15 degrees and 49.7 mi/h (80 kmIh). While containment is required, overturning of the vehicle is an acceptable test outcome. However, Test Level 3 (TL-3) is a 4405-lb (2000 kg) pickup impacting the railing at 25 degrees and 62.2 mi/h (l00 kmIh). This test requires both containment and stability, and non-overturning. Since some breakage of the parapet is possible, potential for vehicle snagging is likely. Vehicle snagging can contribute to vehicle instabilities in the redirection sequence and potential rollover. Therefore, researchers chose both TL-4 and TL-3 tests. According to the results of this project, no field retrofits or replacements of the Florida Jersey safety shaped bridge rails, depicted in the Florida DOT Index 799, are warranted since the most critical 32-inch (813 mm) Jersey safety shaped bridge railing complied with the requirements of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications and NCHRP Report 350 Test Levels 3 and 4.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A safety performance evaluation of the Minnesota concrete parapet with brush curb and metal rail (Minnesota Combination Bridge Rail) was conducted for the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) as part of Year 4 of the Midwest States Regional Pooled Fund Program. The safety performance evaluation of this bridge rail system was conducted and reported according to the criteria specified in Test Level 4 of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report No. 350, "Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features". This testing involved impacts with an 8000-kg single-unit truck, a 2000-kg pickup truck, and an 820-kg small car. The bridge rail design was modified following the 2000-kg pickup truck test in order to reduce the potential for snagging. After this modification was made, and the system was retested, the safety performance of this system was found to be acceptable and meets the safety standards set forth in Test Level 4 of NCHRP 350

Download or read book Demonstration Project No. 19 written by Wallace T. McKeel and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly developed bridge rail which uses steel rings that collapse or deform to absorb the energy of an impacting vehicle was retrofitted to the concrete parapet of an existing interstate highway bridge. It was planned that the installation would be evaluated from the standpoint of design, construction, effectiveness, and maintenance requirements. However, as the rail was not struck during the study period, its in-service performance remains untested, and no maintenance has been required. Information is presented on the cost, man-hours required, and problems encountered in the design and construction of the rail.
