Abstract

An end treatment was developed and crash tested to shield the ends of the concrete safety shape barrier (CSSB) and other narrow rigid objects. It was designed as a temporary treatment for use primarily in construction zones. Steel barrels, some empty and some containing sand ballast, were used in conjunction with collapsing W-beam (guardrail) in the design. Factors considered in its development were cost portability, ease of installation and the use of readily available components.
