The purpose of the testing reported herein was to assess the performance of the free-standing single slope concrete barrier (SSCB) with cross-bolt connections according to the safety-performance evaluation guidelines included in American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) for Test Level Four (TL-4). The crash test performed was in accordance with MASH Test 4-12 criteria, which involves a 10000S single unit truck impacting the barrier at a target impact speed and angle of 56 mi/h and 15 degrees, respectively. The free-standing SSCB with cross-bolt connection successfully contained and redirected the single unit truck. The barrier performed acceptably for MASH Test 4-12. The maximum dynamic and permanent barrier deflections were each 33.0 inches. In addition to the TL-4 crash test, researchers performed a detailed finite element analysis to determine the expected lateral deflection of the barrier under MASH Test 4-11 conditions, which involve impacting the barrier with a 2270P pickup truck vehicle with a target impact speed and angle of 62 mi/h and 25 degrees, respectively. The maximum lateral barrier deflection for the pickup truck impact was estimated to be in the range of 12.5 inches to 16.8 inches.
