Barrier cable anchor rail

A barrier cable assembly adapted to form a barrier between a first concrete column and a second concrete column spaced apart from the first concrete column, the cable barrier assembly comprising:

• a plurality of cables;
• a first cable anchor rail assembly comprising:
• an elongated first rail member of a certain length made from material that bonds to concrete and adapted to provide support to the concrete column in which the first rail member is encapsulated;
• a plurality of threaded connectors, each threaded connector being internally or externally threaded, having a central axis, a proximal end, and a distal end;
• each of the plurality of threaded connectors being attached to the first rail member along the length of the first rail member, such that a predetermined spacing exists between the central axes of each successive threaded connector of the plurality of threaded connectors;
• and
• the first cable anchor rail assembly being encapsulated in and providing support to the first concrete column, the threads of the plurality of threaded connectors associated with the first cable anchor rail assembly being at least partially exposed to the outside of the first concrete column, and the plurality of cables engaging the plurality of threaded connectors of the first cable anchor rail assembly in the first concrete column and the second concrete column.

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 first length made from material that bonds to concrete and adapted to provide support to the column of concrete;
• an elongated second rail member of a second length and made from material that bonds to concrete and adapted to provide support to the column of concrete;
• 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;
• and
• a support bar for supporting the plurality of threaded connectors;
• each of the plurality of threaded connectors being attached to the first rail member and the second rail member at the distal end of each threaded connector, along the first length of the first rail member and along the second length of the second rail member, in the same orientation, and with a predetermined spacing between the central axes of the plurality of threaded connectors, the support bar being attached to each of the plurality of threaded connectors at the proximal end of each threaded connector, the threads of the connectors being at least partially exposed to the outside of the column of concrete in which the barrier cable anchor rail assembly is encapsulated, and the first rail member and the second rail member maintaining said predetermined spacing and orientation.
