| (54) | Barrier comprising barrier elements and a method for connecting and disconnecting barrier elements to and from each other |
| (57) The object of the invention is a method for connecting barrier elements (102) to
and from each other and a barrier to be placed in a side of a roadway comprising of
barrier elements (102). In particularly, the objective of the invention is a barrier
element (102), in which an anchoring part (108) attached to the barrier element (102)
with reinforcement parts (110) is formed to barrier element (102) so that the barrier
element (102) extends over the top of the anchoring part (108) forming a shield for
the anchoring part (108). Barrier elements of this type typically have a top-open
groove, which in collision situation weakens the strength of the concrete end in environmental
conditions, which contains humidity and temperature variations of the both sides of
zero Celsius degree. In the solution according to the invention, the barrier elements
(102) are connected together with a connecting member (116), which is placed in the
anchoring part (108) through the slot part (106) provided to the barrier elements
(102) and which is fastened to the anchoring part (108) with fastening means (114).
The barrier elements (102) are easy to disconnect from each other by removing the
fastening means (114), in which case the elements (102) can be exchanged or transferred
and reattach.
