Abstract
A resin-based barrier comprises a body having a skin of fiber-reinforced resin. The body includes a top, a bottom, a front end, and a back end. A vertical shear web runs between the top and the bottom and is substantially perpendicular to the top and the bottom. Moreover, spaces between the vertical webbing and between the longitudinal webbing are filled with a high-density closed-cell foam. The barrier may be used as a temporary traffic barrier during road construction.
Claims17
A resin-based barrier comprising:
- a body having a skin of fiber-reinforced resin, the body including:
- a top;
- a bottom substantially parallel to the top;
- a front end;
- a back end opposite the front end;
- an internal vertical shear web within the body that runs between the top and the bottom, where the vertical shear web is substantially perpendicular to the top and the bottom;
- wherein:
- the body is filled with a high-density closed-cell foam.

A process for creating a fiber-reinforced resin-based barrier, the process comprising:
- lining a tooling shaped approximately like a desired shape of the barrier with fiber sheets to create a base for an outer skin of the barrier, leaving enough fiber outside the tooling to create a bottom of the barrier at a later time;
- repeating until the tooling is filled:
- inserting fiber-wrapped closed-cell foam inserts into the tooling on top of the layers;
- placing fiber sheets between adjacent foam inserts to create vertical shear webs;
- and
- adding more layers of fiber sheets onto the foam inserts once the foam inserts to create longitudinal shear webs;
- wrapping the fiber that was left outside the tooling to create the bottom of the barrier;
- and
- curing resin infused into the fiber.
