Monograph

This issue contains eight papers concerned with highway design. Specific topics are as follows: the modeling of crash severity with observable crash data; selection table development for bridge railings; heavy-vehicle encroachment frequency; performance of the Midwest Guardrail System with rectangular wood posts; weak-post W-beam guardrail attachment to culvert headwalls; the retrofit of existing approach guardrail transitions; effective median barrier lateral placement for varying highway cross sections; and pinned-down temporary concrete barriers with transition systems for limited-space work-zone applications.
