Standard bridge barrier design guidelines update

The purpose of this project is to verify compliance of bridge barrier designs and guidelines against the relevant Australian Standards that have been recently updated, and the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH).

This project will update the 2013 Austroads Standardised Bridge Barrier Designs Guidelines (AP-R445-13), to align with the current:

• Australian Standard AS/(NZS) 5100: Series 2017– Bridge Design

• Australian Standard AS/(NZS) 3845: Series 2017 – Road safety barrier systems and devices

• American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH).

Proposed outputs: Research report, Updated edition of the Austroads Standardised Bridge Barrier Designs Guidelines; Webinar
