Abstract
This invention relates to a barrier module adapted to be connected in series with additional modules to form a continuous barrier system for collectively absorbing high-impact loads thereon by a road vehicle or the like. Each module comprises a container having a chamber adapted to be filled with a shock-absorbing medium, such as water. A continuous barrier system is formed by connecting a plurality of the modules together, in tandem, by one or more cables which function to transmit impact loads substantially uniformly to the modules concurrently. In carrying forth the method of this invention, the modules for the barrier system are placed in situ on a roadway or the like prior to their being filled with water.
