N2  - Two bridge railing designs have been developed for use in urban areas. The railings consist of concrete parapets with metal railings mounted on top of the parapet. The parapets facilitate transfer of post loads into the bridge deck and the metal railing portion permits visibility through the railing. The railings were designed by ultimate-strength methods of analysis. Prototypes of each design were subjected to full-scale crash tests when they were mounted on 8-in. (20.3-cm)-high, 5-ft (1.5 m)-wide sidewalks and when they were mounted flush on simulated bridge decks. Acceptable performance was obtained in all tests.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
