A guardrail to bridge rail transition was crash tested to MASH (TL-3), and is shown in eligibility letter (B-231), and has Taskforce 13 Designator (STG03a). The bridge rail is shown on the sketches in this letter (sheets 8 & 9 of sketches), and has a steel post that is top mounted to a concrete slab. The rail element attached to the post is a thrie-beam. Could you tell me if this bridge rail was ever crash tested to MASH criteria? If not, are there any plans to crash test it?
We are looking for a top mounted steel post and thrie beam bridge rail that has been crash tested to MASH criteria, that we can use to replace the old Missouri Thrie-Beam & Channel bridge rail. Are you aware of any crash testing on this type of bridge rail being done by other testing facilities?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
