PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

(9 New Hardware or 

Significant Modification 

(' Modification to 

Existing Hardware 

The RESTORE Longitudinal Barrier (SGM39) consists of an upper steel tube rail attached to the top of concrete 

RESTORE Barrier elements (ROM06) connected with Adjustable Continuity Joints (FMM09) and supported by 

shear fenders (PPF01) and steel skids. The top of the upper steel tube rail is set a nominal height of 38-5/8 

inches. Eight high-strength or ASTM A325 1-in. diameter x 11 1 / 2-in. long hex bolts (FBX24b) are placed at a 

45-degree angle though the concrete RESTORE Barrier elements (ROM06) and Adjustable Continuity Joint 

(FMM09) to connect the concrete RESTORE Barrier elements (ROM06) together. 

Each concrete RESTORE Barrier element (ROM06) was supported by four shear fenders (PPF01) and two steel 

skids. The shear fenders (PPF01) were spaced at 60 in. on-center, while the skids were spaced at 120 in. oncenter. Each shear fender (PPF01) was anchored to a concrete foundation with four 10-in. long, ASTM A193 

Grade B7 threaded rods (FRR20c) with a hardened washer (FWC20b) and a high-strength hex nut (FNX20b). 

The threaded rod (FRR20c) was embedded 8 in. and epoxied into concrete. The upper portion of the skid pipe 

was inserted into the 6 5/8-in. diameter holes in each concrete RESTORE Barrier element (ROM06). A 1 /2-in. 

thick elastomer pad was inserted between the top steel plate on the skid and the bottom of the concrete 

RESTORE Barrier element (ROM06). 

A 2391/i-in. long, 8-in. x 4-in. x %-in. steel rail was mounted on top of the concrete RESTORE Barrier element 

(ROM06) using 4-in. long x 4-in. square tubes with anchor plates and four 3/4-in. diameter x 21 -in. long highstrength or ASTM A325 hex bolts (FBX20b) running through the concrete beam to the shear fenders (PPF01) 

underneath and a hardened washer (FWC20b) under the bolt head and nut. Adjacent steel tubes were spliced 

together with a splicing tube insert which consisted of a 3/ 16-in. bent plate and two 5 1 /2-in. long round head 

bolts (FBB10) with a plain round washer (FWC12a) and high-strength structural hex nut (FNX12b). 

The upstream and downstream ends of the RESTORE Longitudinal Barrier (SGM39) should be transitioned and 

terminated into another barrier system such as a rigid concrete barrier or buttress.

INTENDED USE 

The RESTORE longitudinal barrier is a non-proprietary system. It is a restorable and reusable energyabsorbing roadside and median barrier which fits current roadside and median footprints and lowers 

lateral accelerations to passenger vehicle occupants during impact events as compared to impacts with 

rigid concrete barriers. The RESTORE longitudinal barrier is intended to be used in locations where a 

maximum dynamic deflection of 13.9” [353] or less is acceptable and where a working width of 60.2” 

[1529] is provided. The upstream and downstream ends of the RESTORE longitudinal barrier should be 

transitioned into another barrier, such as a rigid concrete barrier or buttress, or terminated with an 

acceptable termination for the RESTORE longitudinal barrier. The RESTORE longitudinal barrier has 

been crash tested under Test Level 4 (TL-4) conditions and deemed acceptable according to the Manual 

for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) performance criteria.
