This type of barrier is the most frequently seen on the UK highways. It is a corrugated steel strip 310 mm wide and mounted 610 mm above ground on Z shaped posts. TCB absorbs impact by deflecting as a whole and assists the vehicle to decelerate, whilst guiding it back towards the carriage-way in a gradual and controlled manner. This principle is best applied to long straight runs on motorways. It should not normally be installed on a radius of less than 120 m. There is no maximum installation length for TCB, but the approach/departure ends must be anchored at

ground level to heavy-duty end posts or to full height anchors (a departure from standard is required). The tensioner units consist of two M24 bolts installed in special steel brackets fitted into the rear corrugations of the main beam elements. These tensioner units are located at 70 m intervals along the length of the barrier.
