Abstract
A vehicle barrier uses adjacent rows of wave-like sections adapted to be positioned on a ground surface. A section is defined by (i) a planar wall extending angularly upward from the ground surface to the section's peak, and (ii) a concave wall extending angularly downward from the section's peak to the ground surface.

A vehicle barrier for inhibiting locomotion of an approaching vehicle, the barrier comprising a plurality of tandem adjacent rows of waveform sections disposable on a ground surface, each of the sections defined by (i) a planar wall extending angularly upward from the ground surface to a peak of the section to inhibit the vehicle from proceeding to an adjacent station on approach, and (ii) a concave wall extending angularly downward from the peak to the ground surface to inhibit the vehicle from reversing to the planar wall.
A vehicle barrier to inhibit locomotion of an approaching vehicle, the barrier comprising a plurality of tandem adjacent rows of waveform sections disposable on a ground surface, each section of the plurality defined by (i) a planar wall extending angularly upward from a valley of a preceding adjacent section to a peak of the each section to inhibit the vehicle from proceeding to a subsequent adjacent station on approach, and (ii) a concave wall extending angularly downward from the peak of the each section to a valley of the subsequent adjacent section to inhibit the vehicle from reversing to the planar wall.
A vehicle barrier for inhibiting locomotion of an approaching vehicle, the barrier, comprising:
- a plurality of tandem adjacent rows of waveform sections disposable on a ground surface, each section of the plurality defined by (i) a planar wall extending angularly upward from a valley of a preceding adjacent section to a peak of the each section to inhibit the vehicle from proceeding to a subsequent adjacent station on approach, and (ii) a concave wall extending angularly downward from the peak of the each section a valley of the subsequent adjacent section to inhibit the vehicle from reversing to the planar wall;
- and
- a plurality of anchoring supports, each support positioned beneath the each section and coupled thereto for supporting the sections and anchoring the sections to the ground.
