... Design guidelines were developed as part of this project for three components: • The barrier–moment slab system • The MSE wall reinforcement • The wall panel The guidelines are set in terms of AASHTO LRFD practice. The AASHTO LRFD format version of the design guidelines is shown in Appendix I

... 153 or friction that may exist between the backside of the moment slab and the surrounding soil should be neglected. 7.1.3 Rupture of the Coping in Bending The critical section of the coping must be designed to resist the applicable impact load conditions for the appropriate test level as defined in AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (Figure 7.3)

... 157 the barrier does not slide during impact. It did slide slightly during both the static and the dynamic test, but the majority of the movement was due to rotation.

... 160 during the dynamic impact, strain gages were installed. The placement of these strain gages was selected to measure the maximum tensile load in each layer of reinforcement as well as give an indication of the distribution of forces in the lateral, longitudinal, and vertical directions.
