Crash Testing of a Precast Concrete Barrier TPF-5(367)

This research proposal has been submitted in response to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Pooled Fund Study No. TPF-5(367), which evolved from Solicitation Number 1436. The Pooled Fund Study was originally entitled, Evaluation and Crash Testing of Concrete Prefabricated Bridge Rails. As requested, the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), partnered with the Institution for Transportation (InTrans) at Iowa State University (ISU), is submitting one research proposal, which is entitled: Crash Testing of a Precast Concrete Barrier. The budget for $414,128 and corresponds to the construction of a 130-ft long bridge rail and a reduced 75-ft long bridge deck with support structure.
