Abstract

This paper reports on the design and full-scale tests of a hybrid traffic fence, composed of a steel drum crash cushion backed by concrete median barriers, for use at bridge piers in medians. The crash cushions act as energy absorbers for frontal impacts and as redirection barriers for angle impacts into the front of piers. The concrete barriers redirect angle impacts into the sides of or between the piers. (See also A 9001 for preprint of paper).
