WIRE ROPE BARRIER
Disclosed is a wire rope barrier using a cable hanger or hangers retaining a cable against a post and releasing the cable from the post in a tuneable and controllable manner when the barrier is subjected to an impact force and displacement. The hanger includes at least two legs, each with a different axis of rotation relative to the post where the legs are hooked, so 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, the hanger legs extend from a cable holding portion, the legs attaching to opposing sides of the post. In another embodiment, when subjected to a predetermined impact force, 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.
