Zusammenfassung: | A low profile break safe breakaway system is described for mounting a post or the like in a vertical position on a footing. The system includes load concentrating elements on brackets disposed on opposite sides of the post to be supported. Breakaway members are provided which cooperate with the load concentrating elements and which are threadedly inserted into anchors which are embedded in the footing. The anchors include steel bar loops which extend downwardly into the footing and internally threaded elements at the upper ends of the anchors. Annular collars are provided at the upper ends of the anchor internally threaded members at the surface of the footing to prevent shattering of the footing concrete on application of bending moments of the coupling members. |
