15、; Part 6: Specification for components for open box beam safety fence (double height); Part 7: Specification for untensioned corrugated beam safety fences; Part 8: Specification for concrete safety barriers. BS6579 is being produced at the request of users and manufacturers in order to cover the var

16、ious types of safety fences and barriers available. Fences detailed in Parts1 to7 have been developed already and approved for use on roads in the United Kingdom. The designs are based on the results of static and dynamic tests carried out in the past on components and complete systems under the dir

17、ection of the Transport and Road Research Laboratory (TRRL). The safety barrier in Part8 is for use only on certain roads at the date of publication of this Part of BS6579. If further types are developed, BS6579 will be revised and increased in scope to cover additions and variations. A British Stan

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover,

20、0.1 The objective of providing safety fences and safety barriers adjacent to or in the central reserve of a highway is to reduce the consequences of vehicles leaving the highway and entering an area where it would be unsafe for them to travel. It is emphasized that in practice the range of vehicle c

21、haracteristics and of conditions of impact with a safety fence are such that some variability in response, particularly by the impacting vehicle, is inevitable. Safety fences are intended to absorb some of the energy of impact and to redirect the errant vehicle, so that it follows, within a narrow a

22、ngle, the line of the fence in the direction of the traffic and does not overturn. Safety barriers are intended to provide containment without significant deflection or deformation under impact, and to redirect errant vehicles along the line of the barrier in the direction of traffic. 0.2 The safety

23、 fences and barriers for ground mounting which are the subject of BS6579 are for use in conjunction with parapets on bridges and other structures, which are the subject of BS6779. Although definitions in both standards have been chosen so as to align as closely as possible, there are some cases wher

24、e the definition is applicable only to a particular Part of BS6579 and does not apply generally. 0.3 No direct guidance is given in BS6579 on the situations where safety fences and barriers should be erected or on the choice of the types described in the various Parts, but information pertaining to

25、general characteristics of different types of safety fences and barriers is given in Appendix A. 0.4 There are various situations and various methods by which transition between a safety fence or safety barrier and a vehicle containment parapet can be assured without impairing the overall protection

26、 afforded to the users of the highway. Where it is not appropriate to make a direct connection to a bridge parapet, transition to an open box beam fence should be made using a special transition piece. NOTEDetails of a special transition piece are given in Figure 5 of BS 6579-5:1986. Appendix B give

27、s recommendations on methods of connecting safety fences to bridge parapets and other types of safety fence. In Appendix C the number of components is given for1km of safety fence. 0.5 It is important to recognize that the performance of a safety fence can be affected by factors that are not covered

28、 by the specifications for the components. These factors include the choice of intermediate posts to suit the ground conditions and the erection and maintenance of the fence. Tensioned fences are not complete until all tensioning procedures have been satisfactorily completed. 0.6 Figure 1 illustrate

29、s the general arrangement of a tensioned corrugated beam safety fence for which the components specified in this Part of BS 6579 are intended. It is essential that the end posts and all angled beam posts are set in concrete as illustrated in Figure 1. Intermediate posts (seeFigure 2) however are exp

30、ected to be either driven securely, or set in concrete into the ground, or mounted on bridge decks using “bridge deck posts” as shown in Figure 3. Where a tensioned corrugated beam fence is not continued over a bridge, the full height anchorages shown in Figure 4 should be used. These should be set

31、in concrete and located adjacent to the approach and departure ends of the bridge deck. 0.7 Enquiries concerning the availability of detailed drawings providing information on manufacture and installation should be made to the Department of Transport Headquarters 1)or Regional Offices of the Departm

32、ent. 0.8 Appendix D gives information that should be provided when making an enquiry or order. In Appendix E important recommendations are given on the transport, handling and storage of components prior to assembly on site. 0.9 Appendix F provides guidance on action to take in order to restore the

33、height of the safety fence following raising of the surface of the carriageway, e.g.as a result of resurfacing. 1 Scope This Part of BS6579 specifies requirements for the components to be used in the construction of the tensioned corrugated beam (TCB) type of safety fence supported on Z posts. Requi

34、rements are given for the materials and dimensions of the components and for protective finishes. This Part of BS6579 does not cover erection and tensioning of the assembled fence (see clause0).

37、 double sided safety fence a safety fence having the traffic face of its beams in front of, or in line with, the traffic faces of the supporting posts, with the traffic approaching on both sides 2.5 traffic face the face of a safety fence or barrier that is nearer to the vehicular traffic flow 2.6 i

38、mpacting vehicle a vehicle striking a safety fence or barrier whether or not it is redirected 2.7 terminal the end-section of the length of a safety fence within which the connection to another safety fence or parapet is made 2.8 flaring (of the ends) the setting back of ground anchorages behind the
