impact barrier loading
(OP)
I'm trying to find within the 2,000+ pages of the easy to read 4th edition of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, where to find the design procedure for vehicular impact loading for a bridge impact barrier (to protect an abutment). Thank you.

If it's a concrete abutment nothing is going to happen to it if it's hit. Could you be more specific what you want to do?

I've seen many single face jersey barriers used for this.
Guard rail is better when the hazard is further away.

It may even be in a footnote.
It's in an odd place no matter what. It's not with the loads.
