Description
Abstract:The Texas Type T631 bridge rail was developed as a low-cost, flexible bridge rail system for TL-2 applications. Many of the features used for the system tested at MxRSF for TL-3 were incorporated into the design developed for this project for MASH TL-2 application. The TxDOT Type T631 bridge rail was designed, developed, and evaluated under MASH TL-2. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact performance of the new TxDOT Type T631 bridge rail to MASH TL-3. The TxDOT Type T631 bridge rail was intended to serve as a low-cost replacement for the TxDOT Type T6 bridge rail for MASH TL-2 applications. The crash testing was performed in accordance with the requirements of MASH TL-3. The TxDOT T631 Bridge Rail performed acceptably for MASH TL-3.
