b) IRC:SP:84-2014 requirements of EN 1317 Part 2 for higher containment Level of H2 shall be used. Typical details of wire rope barrier are given in Fig. 9.14 and wire rope barrier with ropes interwoven are also presented in Fig. 9.15. The wire rope barrier shall be the proprietary product of an approved manufacture and test result shall conform to EN 1317 Part 2. End treatment: The end treatment shall be as per the manufactures details conforming to EN 1317 Part 2. The Wire rope to W-beam transition shall be done Modified Eccentric Loader Terminal (MELT) arrangement as shown in Fig, 9.16.The termination of Wire rope to a rigid or concrete barrier or a parapet shall be avoided and there shall be a transition from wire rope to W-beam in-turn to concrete barrier as shown in Fig. 9.17. Placement: The placement of the Wire Rope Safety Barrier shall be determined by the design engineer and shall be a combination of the deflection ratios of the barrier and the site-specific conditions. The barrier shall be placed as far away from the traffic as possible and shall preferably have uniform clearance. The lateral slope of surface between traffic way and wire rope safety shall always be flatter than 10:1 so that vehicle bumper trajectory will not change before an errant vehicle hit the wire rope. When Wire Rope Safety Barrier is provided in front of a hazard, it shall be so located caters to the deflection specified by the manufacture. The barrier shall be extended at full height not less than 30 m in advance of the hazard on the approach side, and shall continue at full height for 7.5 m beyond the hazard on the departure side. The minimum length of fence shall be no less than 50 m. If there is a hazard present in the deflection area of the barrier, then the distance between fence and the hazard shall not be less than that deflection values described by the manufacture and will depend upon the post spacing. There shall be at least 1 m setback distance between wire rope safety barrier and the start of drop or embankment slope. While installing wire rope on a highway carrying two/three-wheelers and other small vehicles, | The deflection can be reduced by closer post spacing, however the minimum setback distance shall be ensured. \Wire
