Abstract (en)

A post assembly, particularly for forming a vehicle barrier, comprises a vertical I-section steel beam (103) seated in an upwardly-open tubular socket (102) welded to a flat metal base plate (101). To enable impact-absorbing deflection of the upright beam (103), and thereby reduce damage to vehicles and stress on the base plate (101) when impacts occur, rubber blocks (104,105) are disposed between the foot of the beam (103) and the walls of the socket (102) to serve as buffers allowing a limited degree of deflection. <IMAGE>
