14、s; Part 8: Specification for concrete safety barriers. Appendix A and Appendix B of this Part of BS6579 provide additional information helpful to the users of the components. BS6579 is being produced at the request of users and manufacturers in order to cover the various types of safety fences and b

15、arriers available. Fences detailed in Parts1to7have 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 direction of the Transport and Road Re

16、search Laboratory (TRRL). The safety barrier detailed in Part8 is for use only on certain roads at the date of publication of this standard. If further types are developed, BS6579 will be revised and increased in scope to cover additions and variations. A British Standard does not purport to include

17、 all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pagesi a

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS6579-5:1986 BSI 06-1999 1 0 Introduction 0.1 The objective of providing sa

19、fety fences or barriers adjacent to a highway is to reduce the consequences of vehicles leaving the carriageway and entering areas where it would be unsafe for them to travel. Safety fences are intended to absorb some of the energy of impact and to redirect the errant vehicle, so that it follows, wi

20、thin a narrow angle, 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 re-direct errant vehicles along the line of the barrier in the direction of traffic

21、. 0.2 The safety fences and barriers for ground mounting which are the subject of BS6579 are for use in conjunction with parapets on bridges, which are the subject of an associated British Standard. Although definitions in both standards have been chosen so as to align as closely as possible, there

22、are some cases where a 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 informati

23、on pertaining to 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 o

24、verall protection afforded to users of the highway. Appendix B gives recommendations for connections between this type of safety fence and existing designs of metal parapet and also connections to other types of safety fence. In Appendix C the number of components is given for1km of safety fence and

25、 Appendix D gives recommendations for mounting an open box beam fence on acoustic barrier. 0.5 It is important to recognize that the performance of a safety fence can be affected by factors that are not covered by the specifications for the components. These factors include the choice of intermediat

26、e posts to suit the ground conditions and the erection and maintenance of the fence. 0.6 Direct connection to a bridge parapet is to be made by using the special connectors as shown on the drawings. These vary according to the material of the parapet and whether the tension from a tensioned corrugat

27、ed beam safety fence is transmitted through the open box beam fence to the parapet end post or absorbed in a full-height anchorage. 0.7 Figure 1 illustrates the general arrangement of an open box beam safety fence for which the components specified in this Part of BS6579 are intended. It is essentia

28、l that the end posts and all angled beam posts are set in concrete as illustrated in the figure. Intermediate posts (see Figure 2) however, are expected to be either driven, or set in concrete into the ground, or mounted on bridge decks using “bridge deck posts” as shown in Figure 2. Where an open b

29、ox beam fence is not continued over a bridge, the full height anchorages shown in Figure 3 should be used. These should be set in concrete and located adjacent to the approach and departure ends of the bridge deck. 0.8 Where an open box beam safety fence is used on a curve the limiting radius of the

30、 installation should be as given in Appendix E. 0.9 The approach to the safety fence should be set back away from the traffic and flared as shown in Figure 1. The flare length should be at least ten times the set back. 0.10 Enquiries concerning the availability of detailed drawings providing informa

31、tion on manufacture and installation should be made to the Transport and Road Research Laboratory 1) . 0.11 In Appendix F important recommendations are given on the transport, handling and storage of components prior to assembly on site and Appendix G lists information that should be provided when m

32、aking an enquiry or order. 1 Scope This Part of BS6579 specifies the requirements for the components to be used in the construction of the open box beam type of safety fence. Requirements are given for the materials and dimensions of the components and for protective finishes. Erection of the assemb

33、led fence is outside the scope of this Part of BS6579 (see clause0).

34、s For the purposes of this Part of BS6579 the following definitions apply. 2.1 safety fence an installation provided for the protection of users of the highway consisting of horizontal beams mounted on posts 2.2 safety barrier an installation provided for the protection of users of the highway which

35、 is continuously in contact with its supporting foundation 2.3 single sided safety fence a safety fence having its beams on the side of the mounting posts nearest to the traffic 2.4 double sided safety fence a safety fence with beams on opposite sides of the mounting posts and at the same height 2.5

36、 traffic face the face of a safety fence or barrier that is nearer to the vehicular traffic flow 2.6 impacting vehicle a vehicle striking a safety fence or barrier whether or not is redirected 2.7 terminal the end-section of the length of a safety fence within which the beam rises from or is brought

37、 down to an anchorage 2.8 flaring (of the ends) the setting back of ground anchorages behind the line of a safety fence NOTEFlaring is intended to reduce the risk of errant vehicles hitting or mounting the anchorages and to reduce the risk of a vehicle passing behind the safety fence. 2.9 full heigh

38、t anchorage a cross-braced frame extending to the full height of a safety fence NOTEFull height anchorages are used in locations where ground anchorages are not suitable. 2.10 initial installation length the length of safety fence obtained by setting out the position of each intermediate post from t

39、he centre of the angled beam post (the datum) 3 Components NOTE 1Where it is required to provide a connection to a tensioned-corrugated beam safety fence, special transition pieces should be provided (see Figure 5). NOTE 2An expansion beam assembly (see Figure 1) should be installed when uninterrupt

40、ed lengths of open box beam safety fence exceeding100m are erected. When the temperature is expected to fluctuate more than60C additional expansion beam assemblies will be required. 3.1 Beams All beams shall be formed from steel,5mm stock thickness, to grade43A of BS4360 (see Figure 4). 3.2 Posts an
