Guardrail-bridge rail transition evaluations
ME Bronstad, MH Ray, JB Mayer Jr… - Transportation research …, 1987 - safetylit.org
This paper addresses the design of transitions between W-beam or thrie-beam approach
guardrail and rigid bridge rail parapets or wingwalls. Crash test evaluations of selected
current designs and new modified designs were accomplished with 4,500-lb (2000-kg) cars
striking at 60 mph (95 km/hr) and a 25-degree angle.

This project was concerned with the transition designs used between w-beam and the
guardrail, and rigid bridge rail parapets or wingwalls. State designs submitted to the federal
highway administration (FHWA) were rated and designs selected for crash test evaluation.
New designs were also formulated and subjected to crash test evaluation. Most of the crash
tests were conducted with 4500 lb.(2000 kg) cars at 60 mph (95 km/h) and a 25 degree
angle. Design drawings are presented along with recommendations for use of these …
