Accession Number: 00474236
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The development of a low-maintenance crash cushion end treatment for concrete barriers is described. Features of the cushion include (a) no sacrificial energy-absorbing elements, (b) sufficient strength to withstand most impacts without damage to any components, (c) width approximately the same as that of the standard concrete safety shaped barrier, and (d) compliance with NCHRP Report 230 safety standards after only minor modifications. Results of six full-scale crash tests on the cushion are described.
