- Summary:
- TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 663: Design of Roadside Barrier Systems Placed on MSE Retaining Walls explores a design procedure for roadside barrier systems mounted on the edge of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. The procedures were developed following American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load and Resistant Factor Design (LRFD) practices. Appendices A through H to NCHRP Report 663 are available online. Titles of Appendices A through H are as follows: Appendix A: Design of MSE Wall; Appendix B: State-of-Practice Survey; Appendix C: Detailed Drawing of MSE Wall for Bogie Test; Appendix D: Bogie Test MSE Wall Construction Procedure; Appendix E: Detailed Drawing of MSE Wall for TL-3 Test; Appendix F: TL-3 MSE Wall Construction Procedure; Appendix G: Crash Test Vehicle Properties and Information; Appendix H: Crash Test Sequential Photographs-- Source other than Library of Congress.
