Abstract: A special reinforcement basket of steel rebar for reinforcing concrete barriers has toe regions of increased strength. Above the toe regions, there is a shoulder region where windows, or gaps, in the rebar provide for uninterrupted passage of holes in the concrete for anchor bolts, in order that the cast barrier may be anchored to a foundation. The invention is especially useful for precast concrete road barriers, which are manufacturered in a plant and then brought to a site and anchored in place.
