      <title>TEST AND EVALUATION OF W-BEAM AND THRIE-BEAM GUARDRAILS. FINAL REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/273485</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report describes the results of full-scale tests that were conducted to establish the upper performance limits of conventional W-beam and thrie-beam guardrail systems.  The tests showed that these conventional guardrail systems cannot safely redirect a 9070 kg (20,000 lb) school bus in a 15 deg. angle impact at 96.5 km/h (60 mph).  This report also describes the development and evaluation of a modified thrie-beam guardrail.  A series of full-scale tests have demonstrated that the unique feature of this guardrail system, a special 0.36 m (14 in.) deep block-out, not only prevents the wheels of mini-compact cars from snagging on the posts, but also raises the rail during impact to stably redirect heavier vehicles such as school and intercity buses.]]></description>
