... 169 A P P E N D I X I AASHTO LRFD Format Design Guideline SECTION 1 DESIGN GUIDELINES 1.1 SCOPE This section provides guidelines to design three components: the barrier–moment slab, the MSE wall reinforcement, and the wall panel. The guidelines are applicable for TL-3 and TL-4 criteria as defined in Section 13 of AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, and for inextensible MSE wall reinforcement (e.g., strips, bar mats)

... 171 1.4 GUIDELINES FOR THE BARRIER 1.4.1 General The barrier, the coping, and moment slab should be safe against structural failure. Any section along the coping and moment slab should not fail in bending when the barrier is subjected to the design impact load.

... 172 1.4.3 Overturning of the Barrier The factored static moment resistance ( M) of the barrier–moment slab system to overturning should satisfy the following condition (Figure 1.4.1)

... 174 1.5 GUIDELINES FOR THE SOIL REINFORCEMENT 1.5.1 General The reinforcement guidelines should ensure that the reinforcement does not pullout or break during the impact of the chosen vehicle. C1.5.1 In this section, the recommendations for the load in the reinforcement due to the impact are based on a pressure diagram and line load diagram back calculated by using the design loads in excess of static earth pressure loads recorded in the tests.
