(OP)
Ladies and gents,

I am having a hard time following A13.3.1. My main question is, what happpen if my wall is retaining some soil load, then on the top of the soil, the wall acts like a barrier for collision force TL-3? Where do I start?

Thanks

RE: AASHTO LRFD Traffic Railing Design Forces

The TL loading is for the barrier and its anchorage to the wall, not the wall. DOTs have standard details for connecting barriers to walls.
