Abstract:
1. A barrier cable anchor rail assembly encapsulated in a column of concrete and adapted to engage a plurality of cables to provide a barrier between the column of concrete and a successive column of concrete in a structure, the assembly comprising: an elongated first rail member of a certain length and made from material that bonds to concrete; and a plurality of threaded connectors, each threaded connector being internally or externally threaded, having a central axis, a proximal end, and a distal end, and being adapted to engage an end of one of the plurality of cables; each of the plurality of threaded connectors being attached to the first rail member in the same orientation and along the length of the first rail member, with a predetermined spacing between the central axes of the plurality of threaded connectors, and such that the threads of the connectors are at least partially exposed to the outside of the column of concrete in which the barrier cable anchor rail assembly is encapsulated, the first rail member maintaining said predetermined spacing and orientation and providing structural support to the column of concrete in which the barrier cable anchor rail assembly is encapsulated.
