Report Number(s): 0-7082

Description: Crash Test No. 440822-01-2 The installation consisted of a 100-ft long section of a cast-in-place single-slope concrete median barrier, with an 81-ft 3-inch section of Screen-Safe® glare screen and work-zone safety shield mounted on top, starting approximately 112 inches from the upstream end of the singleslope barrier. The single-slope barrier was 42 inches tall, 24 inches wide at its base, and sloped symmetrically upward on both sides for a final width of 8 inches at the top of the barrier. The Screen-Safe® glare screen was split into two sections. The upstream section was 25 ft long, and the downstream section was 50 ft long. Each end of the screen was anchored with a 6-ft 7-inch long anchor cable attached from the top of the end posts to an eyebolt anchored to the top of the single-slope barrier. The glare screen was a double-reverse corrugated steel screen fabric that stood 24 inches above the top of the single-slope barrier and was affixed to the barrier by threaded 26-inch long post bolts that were screwed into wedge anchors installed in the top of the concrete barriers.
