| Abstract: | The purpose of the tests reported herein was to assess the performance of the damaged portable concrete barrier according to the safety-performance evaluation guidelines included in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH), Second Edition. The crash tests were performed in accordance with MASH Test 3-11, which involves a 2270P vehicle weighing 5000 lb impacting the longitudinal barrier while traveling at 62 mi/h and 25 degrees. This report provides details on the damaged portable concrete barriers, the crash tests and results, and the performance assessment of the damaged portable concrete barriers for MASH Test Level 3 (TL-3) longitudinal barrier evaluation criteria. The damaged portable concrete barriers met the performance criteria for MASH TL-3 longitudinal barriers. |
