3 <br /> <br />General Information (continued) <br /> <br />The MSKT is a tangent redirective and gating single-sided W-Beam terminal with a length-of-need <br />(LON) point at post #3. The MSKT uses 8" or 12" offset blocks and is designed to be attached to <br />strong post W-Beam guardrail systems (using 8" or 12" offset blocks) that have been tested and <br />accepted under the MASH crash testing criteria. If the MSKT is intended to attach to a rigid barrier, <br />a transition to gradually increase the stiffness in the W-Beam shall be required. The terminal would <br />have a length of 50'-0" for TL-3. Check the State standard sheets or contract plans to see which <br />option is approved in your State. <br /> <br />The MSKT is a tangent terminal and no offset is required. However to avoid nuisance impacts, a <br />straight flare offset of 1-ft but no more than 2-ft (25:1 maximum) is recommended over a 50 ft length. <br />For TL-2 applications, the flare rate is the same and the allowable offset is variable anywhere <br />between zero and 1-ft over a 25 ft length. Design, selection & placement of the MSKT system shall <br />conform to the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide and the details shown on the contract plans. The <br />assembly of the MSKT shall be in accordance with the recommendations of Road Systems, Inc. <br /> <br /> <br />NOTE: Anywhere a W6x9# x 6'-0" standard guardrail post is mentioned throughout this <br />manual, a W6x8.5# x 6'-0" standard guardrail post is equivalent and is permitted. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />Impact Head delineated <br />with Object Marker
