Abstract:

This report presents the use of stiffening mechanisms to reduce the deflection for 31-inch guardrail installations while maintaining system integrity and safety performance. The Guide reflects test conditions specified in the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) and is based on computer simulations and full-scale crash testing. The Guide should be of interest to state departments of transportation and other agencies considering the implementation of the stiffening mechanisms evaluated in this research.
