Abstract

Impact performance assessments of four types of roadside structures are presented. An earthen mount guardrail and treatment is found to be unsatisfactory, while an absorbent break-away treatment is found to be more promising although requiring design modifications. Appendices are presented which contain detailed discussions of simulation modeling methods, test acceleration measurements and roadside structure development procedures.
