Breakaway supports are common devices used for dual support signs located along the roadway. Design of these systems often involves several costly vehicle crash tests to ensure their effectiveness. It is believed that mathematical modeling can be used to help develop new sign systems in a more timely and cost-effective manner. To this end, a dual support breakaway sign system was successfully modeled using LS-DYNA3D, a nonlinear, large deformation finite-element package. Small component models were first constructed on critical parts of the breakaway sign system. The component models were compared with physical component tests to aid in the development process, as well as to validate the results. The components were then assembled into a complete system model. Very few changes were made in the complete sign model, because problems were worked out in component modeling. Results from two full-scale vehicle crash tests were used to validate the system model. With successful results, the model can now be used to study various sign modifications and configurations.

An approach guardrail transition for use with the single-slope concrete median barrier was developed and crash tested. The transition was constructed with 3.43-mm-thick (10-gauge) thrie-beam rail and was supported by nine W6 × 9 steel posts. Post spacings consisted of one at 292 mm (11.5 in.), five at 476 mm (1 ft 6.75 in.), and three at 952 mm (3 ft 1.5 in.). A structural tube spacer block (TS 7 × 4 × 3/16) was also developed for use with the thrie-beam rail. Two full-scale vehicle crash tests were performed, and the system was shown to meet the Test Level 3 requirements specified in NCHRP Report 350: Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features.
