| Abstract | This report documents the results of a crash test of a transition from a W-beam guardrail to a vertical flared back concrete end section. The test was conducted with a 2000-kg pickup truck impacting the critical point of the transition at a nominal speed and angle of 100 km/h and 25 degrees. Damage to the transition section was moderate. However, the pickup truck rolled over after impact. It was found that the test results did not meet all of the required criteria for test no. 3-21 in NCHRP Report 350. |
