Dear Mr. Wright: 

This letter is in response to your September 3. 20 15 request for the Federal I I ighway 

Administration (fl IWA) to review a rm1dside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility 

for reimbursement under the Pedcral-aid highway program. This PHW/\ letter of eligibility is 

assigned FH\V A control number B-258 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by FHW /\ 

that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following devices are eligible, with details provided in the form whi ch is attached as an 

integral part of this letter: 

• fndiana Anchored Temporary Concrete Barrier 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for r ederal-aid funding. new roadside safety devices should meet 1he crash 

test and evaluation criteria contained in the Ameri can Association of State 1lighway and 

Transpor1ation Ofli cials' Manual for Assessing Safety I lardware (MASI I). I lowcver, the 

f' l-TWA, the Department ofTransportation, and the United States Government do nol regul ate the 

manufacture of roadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the r cderal-aid 

highway program does not establish approval. certi ticnLion or endorsement of the device for any 

particular purpose or use. 

This letter is not a detem1 ination by Lhc r:HWA, the Department ofTransportation, or the United 

States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any pariicular 

outcome, nor is it a guarantee of the in-service performance of this device. Proper 

manufacturing, inslnllalion, and maintenance arc required in order for this device to function as 

tested. 

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crnshwonhiness of the system and docs not cover other 

structural features. nor confom1ity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 
2 

Eligibility for Reimbursement 

Based solely on a review of crash test results and certifications submitted by the manufacturer, 

and the crash test laboratory, FHWA agrees that the device described herein meets the crash test 

and evaluation criteria ofthe American Association of State Highway and Transportation 

Officials' Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). Therefore, the device is eligible for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program if installed under the range oftested 

conditions.

mechanical properties, and geometry as that submitted for review, and that it will meet the test 

and evaluation criteria ofthe MASH. 

Issuance of this letter does not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege. This 

letter is based on the premise that information and reports submitted by you are accurate and 

correct. We reserve the right to modify or revoke this letter if: (I) there are any inaccuracies in 

the information submitted in support ofyour request for this letter, (2) the qualification testing 

was flawed, (3) in-service performance or other information reveals safety problems, (4) the 

system is significantly different from the version that was crash tested, or (5) any other

complete information about the crashworthiness of the system. 

Standard Provisions 

• 	 To prevent misunderstanding by others, this letter of eligibility designated as FHWA 

control number B-258 shall not be reproduced except in full. This letter and the test 

documentation upon which it is based are public information. All such letters and 

documentation may be reviewed upon request. 

• 	 This letter shall not be construed as authorization or consent by the FHW A to use, 

manufacture, or sell any patented system for which the applicant is not the patent holder. 

• 	 Ifthe subject device is a patented product it may be considered to be proprietary. If 

proprietary systems are specified by a highway agency for use on Federal-aid projects: 

(a) they must be supplied through competitive bidding with equally suitable unpatented 

items; (b) the highway agency must certify that they are essential for synchronization 

with the existing highway facilities or that no equally suitable alternative exists; or (c) 

they must be used for research or for a distinctive type of construction on relatively short 

sections of road for experimental purposes.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

(i' New Hardware or 

• Significant Modification 

(" Modification to 

Existing Hardware I 

INDOT conducted three tests for this Temporary Anchored Concrete Barrier system. All three tests used a 

standard 31 Inch F-shape concrete barrier. Each barrier segment was 10 ft long, 31 Inches tall and 24 Inches 

wide at the bottom, tapering to 1Oinches wide at the top. Due to different barrier wall suppliers, some barriers 

had a 3 inch reveal and some had a 2 Inch reveal. Placement ofthose segments are detailed in each report. All 

barrier used J-J hooks for connection. 

Test 1 (Test Report# 690900-INDl )- conducted Jan. 8th, 2015. This test utilized a 90° bent angle plate at each 

joint. This test failed and is not part of this request. Photos, video and the report are attached for viewing 

purposes. This was the barrier that Indiana currently uses and had been used for some time with no reported 

naws. 

Test 2 (Test Report# 690900-IND2)- conducted April 16th, 2015. This test utilized three bent angle plates per 

barrier and a 4 bolt top plate recessed into the barrier. The top plate holes were formed into the concrete using 

ferrule loops as discussed in the report. The test passed but we noticed a construction problem where it was 

hard to line up the 4 top plate bolts due to variances in the J-J hook installation. Also the ferrule loops were 

poured into the concrete barrier, so could not use existing temporary barrier and convert it into the anchor 

barrier, so, we preceded with a third test. 

Test 3 (Test Report# 690900-IND3)- conducted May 19th, 201 S. This test utilized three bent angle plates per 

barrier and a 2 bolt top plate connecting the barriers that were not recessed. The top plate holes were predrilled and expansion anchors were Inserted as discussed in the report. Note that the top plate bolts were 

tightened with no specific torque value.

3-10 (1100() 

For anchored precast barrier systems, MASH Test 3-11 (2270 

kg. Pickup@ 100 km/hr@ 25 degrees impact angle), which 

was performed for this project, ls the critical test for barrier 

strength. Mash Test 3-10 (1100 kg small car@ 100 km/hr@25 

degrees Impact angle) is critical for vehicle stability and 

occupant risk. For MASH Test 3-10, and anchored barrier like 

the one tested for this project, the barrier lateral deflection is 

typically small and the barrier behaves more like a rigid 

barrier. 

Arigid New Jersey Barrier has been successfully tested to 

MASH 3-10 Specification (see Midwest Roadside Safety Facility 

Test Report 2214NJ·1). Other successful small car tests were 

reported on the F-Shape Barrier and New Jersey Safety Shape 

barrier. They are referenced as follows: 

1.) m no. 7069-3 reported in two volumes FHWA-RD93-058, 

"Testing of New Bridge Rail and Transitions Designs, Volume 1: 

Technical Report "FHWA-RD-93-064 "testing of New Bridge 

Rail and Transition Designs Volume 7: Appendix F 32-inch 

(813-mm) F-Shape Bridge Railing·. 

2.) 42-inch Safety Shape Test with Small Car ­ TTI Test No. 

4348-1 reported In •oevelopment of High-Performance 

Median Barrier" 

For Test Report 2214NJ-1, the safety shape barrier was 

impacted by a 2579-lb passenger car at 60.8 mph and 26.1 

degrees Impact angle. This test was successful with respect to 

MASH criteria. While MASH Test 3-1 Ohas not been performed 

to date on a rigid F-Shape barrier, the F-Shape has been 

successfully tested with an 817 kg. small car at 60 mph and 

21.4 degrees impact angle and reported in Project 7069-3 

herein. A comparable test on the New Jersey Shape was 

performed at a lesser 15 degree Impact angle and reported in 

Project 4348-1 (843 kg. small car at 62.6 mph at 15.0 degrees 

impact angle). This test was also deemed successful. 

TTI has reviewed the data summaries for the small car tests 

provided herein on the F-Shape and New Jersey Shape. Based 

on the results of these tests, the F-Shape performed better for 

the small cars tests (more stable) even with a higher impact 

angle. Therefore, under the MASH guidelines, the F-Shape 

should perform better than the New Jersey Shape barrier 

which has been successfully tested to MASH. Therefore, the 

MASH Test 3-10 was deemed unnecessary for this testing.
