| Abstract | The Oregon side-mounted bridge railing consists of a 10-gauge thrie-beam mounted on W6x15 posts. A structural analysis of the railing indicates it will resist approximately 25 kips (111 kN) from a colliding vehicle. Full-scale crash tests demonstrated acceptable performance for performance level one of the 1989 AASHTO Guide Specifications for Bridge Railings. |
