Author/Presenter: Faller, Ronald K.; Reid, John D.; Rhode, John R.
Abstract:

An approach guardrail transition, consisting of three-beam guardrail, steel posts, structural tube spacer blockouts, and a New Jersey connector plate, was developed and full-scale crash tested for use with the New Jersey concrete safety shape barrier. Two full-scale vehicle crash tests were performed according to TL-3 of NCHRP Report 350.
