Abstract:

Compliance testing by the criteria outlined in National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 over the past three to four years has yielded experiences that are important to consider in evaluating the efficacy of the document. Development and crash testing efforts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's MidWest Roadside Safety facility have shown the need for both modification and clarification of current criteria. This paper is primarily focused on the issues of construction practices and test evaluation, but considers these in terms of certification assessment of hardware during the approval process. The discussion is divided into three topics: (1) soil specification (with consideration of wood specification); (2) construction tolerance (compliance and installation); and (3) test evaluation and laboratory certification.
