    This document provides specifications for bridge barrier systems in New Zealand. It details accepted non-proprietary W-beam and Thrie-beam systems that provide protection levels 3 and 4. Monolithic concrete barriers range from protection level 4 to 5 depending on height. Two concrete barrier designs, PA HT and T80HT, are accepted as protection level 5. The document provides drawings of standard barrier systems and notes some legacy systems have limited acceptance.

    SPECIFICATION FOR ROAD SAFETY HARDWARE SYSTEMS

    APPENDIX B: BRIDGE BARRIER SYSTEMS


    Note: This document is released as an interim appendix to the current Specification
    M23 in support of the recent revision of the NZ Transport Agency Bridge Manual.

    1 NON- PROPRIETARY (PUBLIC DOMAIN) BRIDGE BARRIER SYSTEMS

    The following drawings detail the non-proprietary (public domain) bridge barrier
    systems as originally detailed in NZ Transport Agency Bridge Manual and accepted for
    use subject to the requirements of Section 2 below.

    B1 - W-Beam Assembly and Fixing Details (No Top Rail)


    B2 - W-Beam Assembly and Fixing Details (With Top Rail)
    B3 - Thrie -Beam Assembly and Fixing Details (No Top Rail)
    B4 - Thrie -Beam Assembly and Fixing Details (With Top Rail)
    B5 – Guardrail Holding Down Details
    B6 – Intermediate Anchor Details (W-Beam)
    B7 - Intermediate Anchor Details (Thrie-Beam)
    B8 – Test Level 4/5 F-shape Monolithic Concrete Barrier - in preparation)
    B9 – Test Level 5 Concrete Barrier (PA HT, T80HT) - in preparation)

    2 BRIDGE BARRIER PERFORMANCE


    Irrespective of any testing regime (such as MASH or NCHRP350) when used for
    protection of super- and sub-structure elements:

    a) W-Beam systems are considered to provide Performance Level 3 protection; and


    b) Thrie-Beam systems are considered to provide Performance Level 4 protection;
    c) Monolithic concrete systems are considered to provide either Performance Level
    4 (at 915mm) or Performance Level 5 (at 1070mm); and
    d) “HT” type barriers (PA HT, T80HT) are considered to provide Performance Level 5
    (at 1270mm.

    W-Beam systems (see B1, B2, B5 and B6) are a legacy system and not accepted for use
    on State highway bridges.

    Thrie-Beam systems (B3, B4, B5 and B7) are a legacy system and only accepted for use
    on the State highway network on
    (i) low volume (less than 1000vpd) structures; and
    (ii) in retro-fit situations to replace existing bridge systems (e.g. post & rail or
    “tombstone” parapet) where it can be demonstrated that the existing deck cannot
    take the imposed dead and impact loads from a fully crash tested system.

    3 COMPLIANT SITE SPECIFIC USE BRIDGE BARRIER SYSTEMS
    On occasion, site specific approval may be granted for use of variations to standard
    barrier systems. Such approval is to be formally sought from the National Manager
    Traffic and Safety before finalising any design drawings or contract documentation.

    4 STANDARD DRAWINGS
    Standard drawings for the systems detailed in section 1 above are shown below (reduced
    size).

    Electronic copies (in PDF format) are available from the Highways & Network Operations
    Technical Advice section of the NZ Transport Agency website at
    http://www.nzta.govt.nz/network/technical/hardware/drawings.html.
