A wire rope barrier
A wire rope barrier that uses a cable hanger or hangers that act to retain a cable against a post yet release the cable from the post in a tuneable and controllable manner when the barrier is subjected to an impact force and displacement such as from a vehicle collision. The hanger comprises at least two legs, each with a different axis of rotation relative to the post on which the legs are hooked, the result being that the hanger in an impact releases the post from the cable at a predetermined loading and in a controllable and repeatable manner. In one embodiment described, the hanger legs may extend from a cable holding portion, the legs attaching to opposing sides of the post. In a further embodiment, when a predetermined impact force is imposed on the barrier, at least one hanger releases a retained cable when the at least one leg or a part thereof deforms allowing the cable holding portion to in turn release the cable.
