TESTING OF NEW BRIDGE RAIL AND TRANSITION DESIGNS. VOLUME VII: APPENDIX F - 32-IN. (813-MM) F-SHAPE BRIDGE RAILING

The 32-in. (813-mm) F-shape concrete parapet is similar to the New Jersey safety shape. The F-shape was designed and tested to performance level two of the 1989 AASHTO Guide Specifications for Bridge Railings and acceptable performance was obtained. Computed ultimate strength of the railing with the steel reinforcement used was 59 kips (263 kN).
