13、9 is being produced at the request of users and manufacturers in order to cover the various types of safety fences and barriers available. Fences detailed in Parts1 to 7 have been developed already and approved for use on roads in the United Kingdom. The designs are based on the results of static an

14、d dynamic tests carried out in the past on components and complete systems under the direction 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, the sta

This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicate

17、d in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS6579-7:1989 BSI 03-1999 1 0 Introduction 0.1 The objective of providing safety 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

18、. 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 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 defl

19、ection or deformation under impact, and to re-direct errant vehicles along the line of the barrier in the direction of traffic. 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 and other structures which are th

20、e subject of BS6779. Although definitions in both standards have been chosen so as to align as closely as possible, there are some cases where 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 wh

21、ere safety fences and barriers should be erected or on the choice of the types described in the various Parts, but information 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

22、transition between a safety fence or safety barrier and a bridge parapet can be assured without impairing the overall protection afforded to the users of the highway. In the case of untensioned corrugated beam safety fence it is not appropriate to make a direct connection to a bridge parapet and tra

23、nsition to an open box beam safety fence should be made using a special transition piece. NOTEDetails of a special transition piece are given in Part5 of this standard. Appendix B gives recommendations on methods of connecting safety fences to bridge parapets and other types of safety fence. 0.5 It

24、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 intermediate posts to suit the ground conditions and the erection and maintenance of the fence. 0.6 Figure 1

25、illustrates the general arrangement of an untensioned corrugated beam safety fence for which the components specified in this Part of BS6579 are intended. It is essential that the end posts and all angled beam posts are surrounded by granular material rammed and ramped as illustrated in Figure 1. In

26、termediate timber posts should be surrounded by well rammed granular fill and steel posts driven securely. 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 Off

27、ices of the Department. 0.8 Appendix C gives a list of components for the safety fence and their Transport and Road Research Laboratory (TRRL) item numbers. 0.9 Appendix D lists information that should be provided when making an enquiry or order. 0.10 In Appendix E important recommendations are give

28、n on the transport, handling and storage of components prior to assembly on site. 1 Scope This Part of BS6579 specifies the requirements for the components to be used in the construction of the untensioned corrugated beam (UCB) type of safety fence. Requirements are given for the materials and dimen

29、sions of the components and for protective treatments and finishes. Erection of the assembled fence is outside the scope of this Part of BS6579 (see0.3). NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part o

30、f BS6579 the following definitions apply. 2.1 vehicle restraint system installation to provide a level of containment for errant vehicles to limit damage or injury to users of the highway 2.2 vehicle safety fence vehicle restraint system in the form of horizontal members mounted on posts 2.3 vehicle
