751.12.2 Safety Barrier Bridge Curbs (NJ Shape)

751.12.2.1 General Design

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.

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.

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”.

(*) 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.

* According to the development length allowed with the slab depth used, bar may or may not be hooked. Development length starts at slab/barrier interface, basic development length for a straight, #5 epoxy coated bar is 18".
** Length varies depending on slab depth. Extend bar to within 1" of construction joint at bottom of slab.
*** Use Shape 11 or create shape as necessary when development length requires hook.

751.12.2.7 Joint & Rustication Details

Curb Expansion Joints. Openings required for expansion shall be provided in the barrier curb in conjunction with deck joints. For details of expansion joints in barrier curb see expansion device details.

Curb Joints. 1/4 in. joints are located in the barrier curb at locations of negative moments to prevent cracking in the barrier curb. These 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 details of 1/4 in. curb joints at integral end bents see integral end bent details.

Rustication. Rustication shall be used on grade separations only. Rustication shall be terminated four feet from the end of the barrier curb.

751.12.2.8 Plastic Waterstop

To eliminate water seepage problems, use a plastic waterstop, as specified, and in accordance with details shown below.

Use a plastic waterstop at all safety barrier curb joints on grade separations, except over railroads and county roads.

Use a plastic waterstop on lower safety barrier curb joint only, for structures with superelevation on grade separations.
