Development of a Tie-down System for Temporary Concrete Barriers


Book Description

This report details the development and testing of an NCHRP Report 350 compliant tie-down system for use with F-shape temporary concrete barriers. Development of the tie-down system began with the creation and evaluation of several design concepts. Following the researchers' evaluation of the design prototypes, the steel strap tie-down concept was selected for further study.

Roadside Design Guide


Book Description

This document presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is developed in metric units. The roadside is defined as that area beyond the traveled way (driving lanes) and the shoulder (if any) of the roadway itself. The focus of this guide is on safety treatments that minimize the likelihood of serious injuries when a driver runs off the road. This guide replaces the 1989 AASHTO "Roadside Design Guide."
