Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steel guardrail for a median strip separating two traffic routes according to the features in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • guardrail strands made of steel are much more suitable for protecting traffic routes than guardrail strands made of concrete, however, at least in the area of the median strips, the process has started to be made of concrete, which is to be arranged here.
  • Guardrail lines made of concrete survive the vast majority of rear-end collisions without relevant damage. You therefore do not need to be replaced. It is therefore rarely necessary to restrict traffic routes and to jeopardize assembly workers due to the still flowing traffic in the area of the mostly narrow local construction sites.
  • the invention is based on the steel guardrail strand described in the preamble of claim 1 the task of improving it so that it can be equated with the stability behavior of a concrete guardrail strand without losing its advantages of its stability behavior in rear-end collisions.
  • a steel guardrail strand becomes median strip separating two traffic routes is provided, which in a collision is almost equivalent in its stability behavior to the stability behavior of a concrete guardrail line, but in comparison to this has such a compliance behavior that the motorists and motorcyclists are much better protected while reducing damage is guaranteed on a motor vehicle.
  • a repair of the guardrail line is only necessary in the case of particularly serious rear-end collisions, which are usually caused by trucks, and in particular those rear-end collisions where a repair is inevitable even with a concrete guardrail line.
  • the consequence of this is a reduction in the number of construction sites between two traffic routes, the resulting reduced risk of accidents and, in particular, the avoidance of the danger to assembly workers in the area of such construction sites.
  • the production of the guardrail strand according to the invention is simple and can be carried out without any special effort.
  • Both the guide sleepers, the guide rails and the runners can be manufactured in one piece only by folding and bending.
  • the guide thresholds and the guide rails are coupled by means of screw connections. No relevant effort is required for this either.
  • the anchorage in the ground can largely be designed as desired. It is only necessary to ensure that at least one runner of each guardrail is connected to an anchorage such that only in the case of motor vehicles impacting with greater force or in motor vehicles with a comparatively large mass, the inherently rigid guardrail train can yield transversely to a limited extent locally and thus the characteristics of a guardrail train Concrete easily comes close.
  • the rigidity of the guardrail strand is further increased in accordance with the features of claim 2, that the joints of the guide sleeper sections and the guide rail sections do not lie in the same transverse plane, but are offset from one another by half the length of a guide tie or guide rail.
  • a sufficient height of a guardrail strand with sufficient rigidity is achieved with the features of claim 4.
  • the coupling tabs according to claim 6 help to ensure uninterrupted transitions in the area of the joints of the guide thresholds and guide rails.
  • the coupling tabs can be releasably attached to both adjacent guide sleepers and guide rails, in particular by screw connections. It is also conceivable that the coupling tabs on one of the neighboring ones Guide sleepers or guide rails are welded on and are releasably connected only to the other guide rail or guide rail.
  • the opening characterized in claim 7 serves the passage of water and thus avoids water retention to the side of the guardrail line.
  • the frictional resistance of the runners assigned to the guide sleepers against displacement on the ground is increased by the features of claim 8.
  • the bottoms of the runners can be perforated.
  • a friction-increasing coating on the undersides of the floors is conceivable.
  • a core hole corresponding to the outer diameter of the tube is then produced in the area of a runner with an elongated hole in the vertical central longitudinal plane of the guardrail strand, and the tube is inserted into this core hole.
  • the tube has an annular tube cover at the upper end, which is welded to the tube.
  • a pipe socket with a socket flange welded to it is then inserted through the elongated hole.
  • the outside diameter of the pipe socket corresponds to the width of the elongated hole with the necessary insertion clearance. Due to the elongated hole, the guardrail strand can dodge transversely in the area of the elongated hole.
  • the pipe socket is largely adapted to the width of the elongated hole, a transverse displacement of the guardrail strand is only possible when the material is stretched when large displacement forces occur.
  • the guardrail strand can initially dodge until the pipe socket strikes the end of the elongated hole. If the impact energy is consumed in this situation, there is no further transverse displacement.
  • the predetermined breaking point on the pipe socket is claimed.
  • This predetermined breaking point bursts, so that the guardrail strand can then move a little more transversely while increasing the tension in the longitudinal direction.
  • the predetermined breaking point can be formed by notches.
  • the length of the pipe can be a multiple of the length of the pipe socket.
  • Another useful embodiment of an anchor is characterized in the features of claim 12.
  • the resistance to lateral shifting of the guardrail strand can be specifically determined by appropriately bracing the clamping plates with the bottom of the runner and with the end round disk of the tube.
  • a predetermined breaking point can also be provided on the screw bolt of the screw connection in the context of this embodiment.
  • the steel cable characterized in claim 14 can be used alone, but also in conjunction with the anchorages of claims 10 and 11 on the one hand and 12 and 13 on the other.
  • the length of the steel cable determines the maximum displacement of the guardrail strand transverse to its longitudinal direction.
  • a stepped safety device is created to a certain extent. Initially, the length of the elongated hole can be shifted. If this displacement option is exhausted, the predetermined breaking points on the pipe socket or on the bolt become effective. After that, the guardrail string can only be moved up to the length of the steel cable.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 denotes a longitudinal section of a steel guardrail line 2, which is preferably arranged on a median strip separating two traffic routes for motor vehicles.
  • the guardrail strand 2 comprises coaxially arranged and in part detachably assembled bottom guide rails 3 and above the guide rails 3 and connected to them, also coaxially connected to one another guide rails 4.
  • the number of guide rails 3 and guide rails 4 corresponds to the length of the median strip to be secured.
  • the guide sleepers 3 have a trapezoidal cross section with lateral drive-on legs 5.
  • the drive-on legs 5 are slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal and are connected to flat side surfaces 7 of the guide sleepers by transition sections 6 which are concavely curved towards the traffic routes.
  • the side surfaces 7 are connected to one another at the upper end by a continuous horizontal web 8.
  • the width B of a guide threshold 3 corresponds essentially to the height H.

  • the runners 10 extend from areas below the drive-on legs 5 to approximately half the height H of the guide sleepers 3.
  • the end faces 12 of the runners 10 are welded to the side surfaces 7, the transition sections 6 and the drive-on legs 5.
  • each guide sleeper 3 there is an elongated hole 13 rounded at the end (FIGS. 4 to 8).

  • the guide bars 4 are bent in one piece from a sheet metal strip and bent.
