To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH).  Since neither FHWA nor AASHTO has a system in place to approve roadside devices, the responsibility is left with the States.  In response, MoDOT has developed a MASH Implementation process. All roadside devices that are submitted after November 1, 2019, will be reviewed by the MASH Team for approval to use on Missouri roadways. Prior to November 1, 2019 roadside devices were considered using the criterion set forth in NCHRP Report 350 “Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features”.  While MASH requirements are only applicable to the NHS, the following guidelines are recommended for all bridges.

Type D barrier replaced Type B barrier (previously safety barrier curb) as the standard railing for bridges awarded after December 31, 2019. Similarly, Type C barrier replaced Type A barrier (previously median barrier curb).  Types H and G shall be used respectively for situations where Types D and C is considered impractical.

Single sloped barriers have been shown to reduce vehicle climb and increase vehicle stability during redirections when compared to New Jersey shaped barriers.  See the following sections for more details on standard barriers. Details for Type G have not been developed, but that does not prevent its use if need dictates.

Concrete barriers were approved for TL-3 or TL-4 test levels in accordance with the MASH 2016 standards.  The required MASH 2016 test level for bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) is TL-3, but the expectation is that the TL-4 requirement will be mandated in the next publication.
 +
 
 +
Test level TL-3 is defined by AASHTO as being “generally acceptable for a wide range of high-speed arterial highways with very low mixtures of heavy vehicles and with favorable site conditions.”
 +
 
 +
Test level TL-4 is defined by AASHTO as being “generally acceptable for the majority of applications on high-speed highways, freeways, expressways, and interstate highways with a mixture of trucks and heavy vehicles”.

 +
See barrier elevation sheets of the [http://www.modot.org/business/standard_drawings2/Barrier_curbs_new_title_block.htm barrier standard drawings] for the required details.
  
−
=== 751.12.2.1 General Design ===
+
Slip forming is impractical for prestressed double-tee bridges.
  
−
New safety barrier curbs "shall be shown to be structurally and geometrically crashworthy".  Therefore, the shape of the safety barrier curb is selected based on crash-tested, or equivalent crash-tested geometry. 
+
'''Cross Bracing C Bars'''
  
−
The safety barrier curb used on new bridges shall be the 16” New Jersey (MO) safety shape barrier curb which has been crash-tested and FHWA approved as meeting test level TL-4.
+
Slip forming requires two No. 5 cross bracing C bars located each side of all joints and at barrier ends.
  
−
Test level TL-4 shall be used for safety barrier curb design.  TL-4 is defined by AASHTO as being “generally acceptable for the majority of applications on high-speed highways, freeways, expressways, and interstate highways with a mixture of trucks and heavy vehicles”.
+
List C bars in the Bill of Reinforcing Steel and note that bars are for the slip-formed option only.
  
 +
For barrier segments on top of the bridge deck, use 12-foot C1 bars.
  
−
[[Image:751.12.2.1.jpg|center|400px]]
+
For barrier segments on top of the end bent wings:
−
All exposed edges shall have either a 1/2-inch radius or a 3/8-inch bevel, unless otherwise noted.
+
:For segments < 14'-4", use C2 bars ending no closer than 29.5" from end of barrier.
 +
:For segments ≥ 14'-4" and ≤ 18'-0", use the 12-foot C1 bars.
 +
:For segments > 18'-0", use two sets of C2 bars with first set ending no closer than 29.5" from end of barrier.
  
−
The values shown above are only applicable for the standard normal crown of two percent. See [[#751.12.2.10 Superelevation Details |EPG 751.12.2.10 Superelevation Details]] for adjustment of values for different cross slopes.

=== 751.12.2.2 Standard Reinforcement Details ===
+
Joints are required when decks are continuous over intermediate bents for both continuous and simple span structures. These joints are also required at the front face of integral end bents. For placement of barrier joints at integral end bents see integral end bent details.
 +
[[image:751.12.1.2.2.1.jpg|center|550px]]
  
−
The single R bar adds to the rigidity of the reinforcement during construction and it is believed to help prevent cracking. The single bar also appears to assist maintaining uniform reinforcement cover.
+
Additional joints at 12-foot spacing from joint at intermediate bents may be required based on span lengths. The following details provide guidance on locating flexural joints near intermediate bents. This spacing will allow the full yield-line failure pattern to develop for Type D barrier. For simplicity, the 12-foot spacing shall also be used for all other concrete barrier types.

===751.12.1.3 Type D and H (42ʺ and 32ʺ single sloped railing)===
 +
The 42-inch single sloped Type D barrier shall be used for railing on all new or replacement bridge projects except where sight distance is a concern.  Type D meets the height requirements for both MASH TL-4 (36ʺ) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s OSHA (42ʺ).  Type D barrier has been reviewed by the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) and is compliant with MASH 2016 TL-4.  This assessment is applicable for continuous and discontinuous sections of the barrier.  Type D barrier shall be used on all redecks and rehabs where the full length of barrier is being replaced with exceptions for the following: 1) sight distance concerns, 2) rating concerns where the weight of the barrier prohibits its use or causes impractical restrictions or costs for the project. The Type D barrier dimensions shall not be adjusted for inclusion of a wearing surface.
  
−
'''Integral End Bents and Semi-Deep Abutments'''
+
The 32-inch single sloped Type H barrier shall be used for railing, upon approval of the SPM or SLE, on all new or replacement bridge projects where sight distance concerns prohibit the use of Type D. Type H has the same front face slope as Type D. The minimum height for MASH TL-3 is 30 inches so there are minimal concerns with Type H for future overlays. The TL-3 height requirement has been updated since the release of SEG 20-001. Type H barrier has been reviewed by the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) and is compliant with MASH 2016 TL-3. This assessment is applicable for continuous and discontinuous sections of the barrier. When a wearing surface is applied with the newly constructed Type H barrier, a pedestal is recommended to keep the holes for the guardrail attachment in the same location with respect to the top of the barrier.

Revision as of 09:50, 9 June 2020

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). Since neither FHWA nor AASHTO has a system in place to approve roadside devices, the responsibility is left with the States. In response, MoDOT has developed a MASH Implementation process. All roadside devices that are submitted after November 1, 2019, will be reviewed by the MASH Team for approval to use on Missouri roadways. Prior to November 1, 2019 roadside devices were considered using the criterion set forth in NCHRP Report 350 “Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features”. While MASH requirements are only applicable to the NHS, the following guidelines are recommended for all bridges.

Contents

751.12.1 Concrete Barriers

Type D barrier replaced Type B barrier (previously safety barrier curb) as the standard railing for bridges awarded after December 31, 2019. Similarly, Type C barrier replaced Type A barrier (previously median barrier curb). Types H and G shall be used respectively for situations where Types D and C is considered impractical.

751.12.1.jpg

Single sloped barriers have been shown to reduce vehicle climb and increase vehicle stability during redirections when compared to New Jersey shaped barriers. See the following sections for more details on standard barriers. Details for Type G have not been developed, but that does not prevent its use if need dictates.

Concrete barriers were approved for TL-3 or TL-4 test levels in accordance with the MASH 2016 standards. The required MASH 2016 test level for bridges on the National Highway System (NHS) is TL-3, but the expectation is that the TL-4 requirement will be mandated in the next publication.

Test level TL-3 is defined by AASHTO as being “generally acceptable for a wide range of high-speed arterial highways with very low mixtures of heavy vehicles and with favorable site conditions.”

Test level TL-4 is defined by AASHTO as being “generally acceptable for the majority of applications on high-speed highways, freeways, expressways, and interstate highways with a mixture of trucks and heavy vehicles”.

751.12.1.1 Material Properties

Class B-1 Concrete Epoxy Coated Reinforcing Steel
Unit weight (reinforced), wc = 0.150 kcf Yield strength, fy = 60.0 ksi
Compressive strength, f’c = 4.0 ksi Modulus of elasticity, Es = 29,000 ksi
Modular ratio, n = 8
Modulus of elasticity, Ec = 3644 ksi

751.12.1.2 General Details

Regardless of type of barrier shown the following sections are applicable for all concrete barrier types.

Top of barrier shall be built parallel to grade with barrier joints (except at end bents) normal to grade.

All exposed edges of barrier shall have either a 1/2-inch radius or a 3/8-inch bevel, unless otherwise noted.

751.12.1.2.1 Slip Forming

Conventional or slip forming may be used except for situations where slip forming is considered impractical.

See barrier elevation sheets of the barrier standard drawings for the required details.

Slip forming is impractical for prestressed double-tee bridges.

Cross Bracing C Bars

Slip forming requires two No. 5 cross bracing C bars located each side of all joints and at barrier ends.

List C bars in the Bill of Reinforcing Steel and note that bars are for the slip-formed option only.

For barrier segments on top of the bridge deck, use 12-foot C1 bars.

For barrier segments on top of the end bent wings:

For segments < 14'-4", use C2 bars ending no closer than 29.5" from end of barrier.
For segments ≥ 14'-4" and ≤ 18'-0", use the 12-foot C1 bars.
For segments > 18'-0", use two sets of C2 bars with first set ending no closer than 29.5" from end of barrier.

Textured Fiberglass Bars

Slip forming requires three four-feet long No. 4 textured fiberglass bars centered at each joint.

751.12.1.2.2 Joints

See barrier elevation sheets of the barrier standard drawings for the required details.

One-fourth-inch joints are located in the barrier at locations of negative moments to prevent cracking in the barrier. Barrier joints may be formed using ¼-inch joint filler in accordance with Sec 1057 or saw cut and seal with silicone joint sealant in accordance with Sec 717. Saw cuts joints may be used with the conventional forming option.

Joints are required when decks are continuous over intermediate bents for both continuous and simple span structures. These joints are also required at the front face of integral end bents. For placement of barrier joints at integral end bents see integral end bent details.

751.12.1.2.2.1.jpg

Additional joints at 12-foot spacing from joint at intermediate bents may be required based on span lengths. The following details provide guidance on locating flexural joints near intermediate bents. This spacing will allow the full yield-line failure pattern to develop for Type D barrier. For simplicity, the 12-foot spacing shall also be used for all other concrete barrier types.

751.12.1.2.2.2.jpg

751.12.1.2.3 Plastic Waterstops

See barrier elevation sheets of the barrier standard drawings for the required details.

Plastic waterstops are typically located inside formed joints to eliminate water seepage problems on grade separations. They shall be excluded over railroads and county roads and are only required on the lower side of superelevated decks.

751.12.1.2.4 Guardrail Attachment

See barrier at end bents sheets of the barrier standard drawings for the required details.

751.12.2.6.jpg

751.12.1.2.5 Superelevation

Superelevated slope, S.E., is in decimal format for the follow calculation, i.e. use 0.04 for 4.0%.

751.12.2.5.1.jpg
751.12.2.5.2.jpg

751.12.1.2.6 Detached Wing Walls

If the detached wing wall has more than one section, see the Structural Project Manager for possible additional joints in the barrier (between sections).

The following details are for illustration purposes only:

751.12.2.6 end bents.jpg

751.12.1.2.7 Light Poles

751.12.2.7.1.jpg
751.12.2.7.2.jpg

Anchor bolts and nuts shall be in accordance with ASTM A449. Anchor bolts, nuts and washers shall be fully galvanized.

Note to Detailer: Extend slab transverse steel to edge of slab in blister region often shown with an additional detail with the slab details.

Note: Conduit not shown for clarity.

751.12.1.3 Type D and H (42ʺ and 32ʺ single sloped railing)

The 42-inch single sloped Type D barrier shall be used for railing on all new or replacement bridge projects except where sight distance is a concern. Type D meets the height requirements for both MASH TL-4 (36ʺ) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s OSHA (42ʺ). Type D barrier has been reviewed by the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) and is compliant with MASH 2016 TL-4. This assessment is applicable for continuous and discontinuous sections of the barrier. Type D barrier shall be used on all redecks and rehabs where the full length of barrier is being replaced with exceptions for the following: 1) sight distance concerns, 2) rating concerns where the weight of the barrier prohibits its use or causes impractical restrictions or costs for the project. The Type D barrier dimensions shall not be adjusted for inclusion of a wearing surface.

The 32-inch single sloped Type H barrier shall be used for railing, upon approval of the SPM or SLE, on all new or replacement bridge projects where sight distance concerns prohibit the use of Type D. Type H has the same front face slope as Type D. The minimum height for MASH TL-3 is 30 inches so there are minimal concerns with Type H for future overlays. The TL-3 height requirement has been updated since the release of SEG 20-001. Type H barrier has been reviewed by the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) and is compliant with MASH 2016 TL-3. This assessment is applicable for continuous and discontinuous sections of the barrier. When a wearing surface is applied with the newly constructed Type H barrier, a pedestal is recommended to keep the holes for the guardrail attachment in the same location with respect to the top of the barrier.

751.12.1.3.1 Typical Section

All values may be used with both 2.0% and 3/16 inch-per-foot cross slopes.

See EPG 751.12.1.2.5 Superelevation for adjustment of values for different cross slopes.

751.12.1.3.1.jpg

751.12.1.3.2 Typical Section Reinforcement

The single R bar adds to the rigidity of the reinforcement during construction and it is believed to help prevent cracking. The single bar also appears to assist maintaining uniform reinforcement cover.

Splice length for horizontal #5 bars in barrier curb shall be 37 inches.

All bent bars are formed using stirrup bends except for the Type D #5-R1 bars.

All values may be used with both 2.0% and 3/16 inch-per-foot cross slopes.

751.12.1.3.2.jpg

751.12.1.3.3 End of Barrier Reinforcement

See barrier standard drawings for the required details.

All bent bars are formed using stirrup bends.

751.12.1.4 Type B (32ʺ New Jersey Shaped Railing)

The 32-inch New Jersey shaped railing, previously referred to as safety barrier curb, shall not be used on new construction projects. This includes redecks and rehabs where the full length of barrier is being replaced. Type B barrier may be replaced in kind where spot work is required (i.e., expansion joint replacements). For wearing surface projects, where the grade is not being increased more than 2 inches, the existing Type B barrier may be used in place in accordance with EPG 751.1.3.4 Railing Type, Height and Guidelines for Curb Blockouts.

See EPG 751.12.1.2.5 Superelevation for adjustment of values for different cross slopes.

751.12.1.4.2 Typical Section Reinforcement

The single R bar adds to the rigidity of the reinforcement during construction and it is believed to help prevent cracking. The single bar also appears to assist maintaining uniform reinforcement cover.

Splice length for horizontal #5 bars in barrier curb shall be 37 inches.

All bent bars are formed using stirrup bends except for the R1 bars.

751.12.1.4.3 End of Barrier Reinforcement

See barrier ending on end bents sheets of the barrier standard drawings for the required details. The bars shown below are for barrier ending on wing walls; see barrier ending at end of slab sheet of the barrier standard drawings for reinforcement details for barrier ending on slabs.

Splice length of #5-K9 bars with #4 K-bars above wing walls shall be 31 inches (embedment of #5 bars controls over splice length of #4 bars).

All bent bars are formed using stirrup bends except for the K4 and K11 bars.

Ending on Integral End Bents and Semi-Deep Abutments

Use when distance between upper and lower construction joint in wings is at least 28½ inches.

751.12.2 Two Tube Rail (Top Mounted) TL-4 (NCHRP 350)

Guidance

  • Meets TL-4 (NCHRP 350)
  • Typically used on spread box beam bridges.
  • May be used on adjacent box beam bridges where reinforcement is embedded in the beam.
  • Use only in certain applications because of cost. Consult the Structural Project Manager.
  • Acceptable for use when roadway width or site distance is a concern.
  • Curb is intrinsic to TL rating and shall be used. Curb shall be used to prevent drainage over deck.
