More Information
Summary:The safety barrier, intended to be located longitudinally along the edges of a roadway, includes: an inner lateral wall (10) intended to face the roadway; an outer lateral wall (12) intended to face away from the roadway, the lateral walls (10, 12) together defining a cavity (14); and means for anchorage to the ground or to a fixed element (50) underlying the barrier, including at least one ground anchor (52) having a rod (54) with a lower portion capable of penetrating the ground or the element (50). The barrier further includes a support structure (66) for the ground anchor (52), positioned between the lateral walls (10, 12) and which has an internal cavity (68) for the rod (54) to pass through. The walls of the cavity (68) are spaced apart at least by the upper portion of the rod (54) adjacent the portion capable of penetrating the ground so that the structure (66) and the rod (54) are able to deform plastically as the result of the forces arising upon collision of a vehicle with the barrier.
