Title:

Development of a Web-Based Program for Assessing Guardrail Damages and Determining if Repair is Warranted

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

A web application was developed for determining whether or not in-service w-beam guardrail with existing damage would still function as intended. Continuing the research presented in National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 656, NCHRP Project 22-28 explored the effects of combinations of different types of damage on the performance of in-service strong-post guardrail systems and end anchorage. Free to use, this web application is a new tool available to the public for the purpose of determining if a damaged section is of high priority for repair. The web application automatically determines what components of a damaged system, if any, need to be replaced in order for the system to continue to function properly. It notifies the user on-screen at the end of the evaluation, as well as sends an email to a specified address and stores all results in a database. This software package can be used in its current online form, or the software package can be used directly on individual users’ own internet site using HTML, PHP, and MySQL for user privacy. This paper is a description of what the user experiences, as well as an explanation of how the web application works.
