Abstract
A second full-scale vehicle crash test was conducted on the Iowa W-Beam Approach Guardrail Transition Section to the Concrete Safety Shape Bridge Rail. Test 16-2 was conducted with an 1,8401b. vehicle at 22.0degrees and 64.5 mph. This installation has been previously evaluated with a 5,400 lb. vehicle (6). The overall test length of the installation was 64 f-6 3/4 in. The installation consisted of four major components: (1) concrete safety shape, bridge rail end-section, (2) the w-beam approach guardrail section, (3) the w-beam breakaway end anchorage, and (4) the w-beam terminal connector. The concrete end-section was 7ft. long and 2 ft.- 8in. high. A 6-in. concrete curb was constructed 13 ft. beyond the end of the concrete end-section.
