Description: Several crashworthy wood bridge railings and approach railing transitions have been adapted for use on concrete bridge decks.  Included are a glued-laminated timber (glulam) rail, with and without a curb, at Test Level 2 (TL-2), a glulam rail with curb at TL-4, and a glulam curb rail for low-volume roads at TL-1.  In adapting the railings from a wood deck to a concrete deck, the critical consideration was railing attachment to the deck.
