ELEMENTS AND PARTS FOR METAL BEAM GUARD RAIL

a. Breakaway cable terminal sections, both single and double sided.

b. Breakaway cable anchor assemblies at the trailing end of guard rail installations.

c. The remaining metal beam guard rails along the line and grade of the guardrail.

Materials and tools, for the construction and installation of the guard rail including posts, anchors, end sections, reinforced concrete foundations, fittings and fasteners, galvanising and painting, and for all incidental accessories to complete the installations.

RAILING

Railings complete with rails, posts, holding-down bolts and rail joints.

Materials for steel railings shall comply with the appropriate requirements of Clause 1201 of these Specifications.

Materials for Aluminum Railing

a. Cast aluminium railing posts shall conform to the requirements of AASHTO M193M and ASTM B108, alloy S7A – T4 (A444 – T4).

b. Aluminium alloy extruded rail shall conform to the requirements of ASTM B221 alloy, 6061-T6 or 6351-T5 with a minimum yield strength of 2466 kg/cm2 , a minimum tensile strength of 2677 kg/cm2 and as elongation of 10% in 50 mm.

c. Stainless steel hardware for aluminium railings shall be machine bolts or cap screws conforming to ASTM A193M, grade B8, Class 2. Material for stainless steel flat washers and lock washers shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A240, Type 302.

d. Bearing pads shall conform to the requirements of Section XIII (Bearings and Expansion and Fixed Joints) of these Specifications.

RAILING CONSTRUCTION

Railings shall be constructed to the line and grade and shall not reflect any unevenness in the founding construction. All railing posts shall be vertical. For bridges railing shall not be placed on a space until centering or falsework has been removed, rendering the space self-supporting.

Construction of Steel Railings

The fabrication and erection of steel railings shall be in accordance with the appropriate requirements of Clause 1202 of these Specifications.

Construction of Aluminum Railing

The fabrication and erection of aluminium railings shall conform to the requirements of Clauses 1202.01 to 1202.08 inclusive and Clause 1202.11 of these Specifications subject to the following amendments and additions:

a. Cutting – Material 12.7 mm thick or less may be cut by shearing, sawing or milling. Material over 12.7 mm thick shall be sawed or milled.

Cut edges shall be true and smooth and free from burrs or ragged breaks. Reentrant cuts shall be filleted by drilling prior to cutting.

Flame cutting will not be permitted.

b. Bending – Material may be heated to a temperature not exceeding 240oC for a period not exceeding 30 minutes to facilitate bending, unless cold bending is required to retain the original mechanical properties of the material furnished.

c. Rivet and Bolt Holes – Rivet and bolt holes shall be drilled to finished size or subpunched smaller than the nominal diameter of the fastener and reamed to size. The amount by which the diameter of a subpunched hole is smaller than that of the finished hole shall be at least one-quarter the thickness of the piece. The finished diameter of holes shall be not more than 7% greater than the nominal diameter of the fastener except:

i. Slotted bolt holes to take care of expansion shall be provided as called for on the Drawings.

ii. Anchor bolts holes may be up to 25% greater than the nominal bolt diameter with a maximum of 12.7 mm greater than the nominal bolt diameter.

d. Contact with other Materials – Where aluminium alloys come in contact with other metals, except stainless steel, the contacting surfaces shall be thoroughly 12-38 coated with an aluminium-impregnated caulking compound, or a synthetic rubber gasket may be placed between the two surfaces. Aluminium alloys shall not be placed between the two surfaces. Aluminium alloys shall not be placed in contact with copper, copper base alloys, lead or nickel.
