Definitions
- the present invention relates to road safety barriers: it is therefore applicable to traffic infrastructures.
- a deformable safety barrier placed along the roads, consisting of metal profiles assembled by partial covering and bolting, and supported from place to place by vertical posts, the profile having a central groove surrounded by lateral ribs. located on either side of said central groove each having a vertex line located in the same vertical plane parallel to the vertical plane XX ′ tangent to the bottom of the groove, forming a relief on the side of the floor and each having an outer side folded in a direction opposite to the roadway and extended by a wing beyond said vertical plane XX ′ tangent to the bottom of the groove.
- the invention relates more particularly to a slide incorporating a conventional metal profile, AFNOR standardized and called type A or B.
- safety barriers are installed to prevent vehicles from leaving the lane during an incident or accident.
- These safety barriers are metallic profiles which constitute a strip arranged vertically, having an average line substantially parallel to the raceway of the taxiway and are supported at regular distances by vertical posts disposed on the side of the slide where not find the traffic lane bordered by said slide.
- the use of these safety barriers is common at the edge of motorway lanes, along the entire length of the lane, but also along the edge of ordinary roadways, either in areas where the exit from the road would be particularly dangerous, or, for busy roads, in the middle areas separating the two directions of traffic.
- the supports in large numbers also lead to drawbacks for the holding of embankment slopes (punching), and create a potential danger for bikers who have slipped on the road, and may come into impact with these supports.
- the technical advantage is to increase the radius of curvature of the profile following the same impact, which leads to a better distribution of the forces on the supports and to better guidance of the sinking vehicle.
- the economic advantage is to be able to reduce the number of supports of the safety barrier for an equivalent depression in the event of an impact and therefore to reduce the cost of supplying and installing the rails significantly.
- U.S. Patent 2,776,116 shows a slider as defined above wherein the flanges of the section diverging 45 o, thereby providing a low moment of inertia.
- the wings tend to open strongly during possible shocks so that the moment of inertia decreases sharply at the moment of impact just when it would be necessary to have a high moment of inertia to maintain the rigidity of the slide.
- modified profile A Another known profile is shown in German patent application 1,960,908 under the designation modified profile A.
- the purpose of this modified profile A is to allow an increase in the thickness of the wall of the profile while keeping the modified profile roughly the same weight as that of a conventional profile A to which the object of the present invention refers. , also shown in this German patent application published 1 960 908. According to the known proposal, it is possible to increase the thickness of the wall of the profile while retaining the same initial weight by reducing the depth of the central groove by almost half while retaining the initial length of the outer flank of the lateral ribs.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a safety barrier of the type mentioned, in which the profile has a moment of inertia greater than the moment of inertia of the profiles currently used and which moreover can be assembled with the current profiles without difficulty. .
- the object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the outer flank of the lateral ribs of the profile extends beyond said vertical plane tangent to the bottom of the central groove, over a distance between half and double the distance separating said vertical plane of the plane passing through the top lines of the lateral ribs.
- this wing is of the same thickness and of the same material as the profile.
- the two wings of the profile are divergent so as to allow the interlocking of the profiles for transport and for assembly.
- the profile of the profile on the side of the road is preferably similar to that of one or the other of the two models of slideways commonly used. This allows the adaptation of these models of slides and the slide of the present invention without difficulties.
- these wings have an orientation approaching the horizontal, so as to thereby maximize the moment of inertia of the slide relative to a vertical axis.
- This orientation can be obtained by giving the profile the shape of a parabolic arc, on either side of the central groove. This shape also has the advantage of distributing as best as possible in the structure the forces received at the top of this parabola.
- this wing may also be advantageous to fold the end of this wing in a fold parallel to the axis of the road; this fold will stiffen the profile and allow it to be less deformed under the impact of the vehicle.
- the profile extends accordingly, on the side opposite to the traffic lane, 4 to 16 cm approximately with respect to this plane and preferably 6 to 8 cm.
- the folded edge of the rib extended by a wing may have a shape approaching the horizontal, for example of parabolic shape, when one moves away from the taxiway. It can also include a fold of 2 to 5 cm approximately, ribbing the end of this wing. This bend may have an angle between 1 and 90 o relative to the horizontal, the bend forming an obtuse angle with the wing.
- the metal profiles are fixed to each other by bolts, the bolt heads being on the side of the track. lation. It will be interesting that the locations of the bolts are compatible with those of the sections already in service, so that their reciprocal adaptation is convenient; it will still be necessary to place two bolts in the area of overlap of the profiles, to better secure the assembly.
- the strong moment of inertia of the profile with respect to a vertical axis makes it possible to choose the thickness of the latter in a range going from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, with a preference for 2 mm of thickness, which is a interesting compromise between a high impact resistance and the unit mass of a profile element which is then about 60 kg.
- the width of the outer borders can vary between 8 and 20 cm, depending on the impact resistance objective chosen.
- the metal section of a safety barrier has been designated by 11.
- the profiles 11 are secured by overlapping on an end zone 12 where we see the additional bolting holes 8.
- This profile is supported by vertical posts 10.
- the profile 11 has a W-shaped section and is designated by 1 the central groove, and by 2 the lateral ribs located on either side of the central groove 1.
- each of these lateral ribs 2 extends beyond a vertical axis XX ′ substantially tangent to the bottom of the groove 1 by two wings 3b of approximately 7 cm.
- the total width of the profile (L 1) is approximately 15 cm, but the width of the wing can be chosen between 3 and 12 cm approximately depending on the desired rigidity, depending on the applications envisaged.
- the increase in the rigidity of the profile can also be obtained by creating a fold 5 with a width of 2 to 5 cm at the end of the wing 3b (FIG. 3).
- This fold can be either practically in the extension of the border (1 o minimum compared to a horizontal plane), or on the contrary raised up to 90 o .
- each parabola segment will develop on parts 4, 2, 3a and 3b, in continuity.
- the top of the parabola will be the point of rib 2 closest to the traffic lane. Thanks to this shape, the shock on the ribs 2 is transmitted in the best conditions in the wings 3a and 3b and in the part 4, which rests on the groove 1.
- the choice of a thickness of 2 mm allows the manufacture of a profile of 6.31 m long and weighing approximately 60 kg (for 50 kg in the case of a traditional profile having 4 m long and 3 mm thick).
- This profile supported every 6 m, notably avoids the installation of a third of the supports, spacers and bolts compared to the traditional profile.
- Its steel weight is also slightly lower than the linear meter (approximately 10 kg against approximately 11.5 kg).
- the great length of the profile makes it possible to vary the possibilities of positioning the supports, according to the maximum displacement desired in the event of an impact: the minimum is of a support every 6 m, then a support every 3 m. It may be advantageous to also be able to implant a support every 2 m, which leads to providing a maximum of five recesses 6 in the groove of the profile: two at the ends 12, one in the middle, and two others sharing the profile in 3 parts of 2 m.
- FIG. 5 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Profile 11 is obtained by extending the outer flank 3a of a standard type A profile commonly used by a wing 3b which extends the outer flank 3a beyond the plane XX ′ tangent to the bottom of the central groove 1 over a distance comprised between half and twice the depth of the central groove 1.
- the wings 3b extend diverging on the rear of the profile 11.
- the angle of the wings 3b with the horizontal is approximately 11 o , which allows fitting the profiles 11 during transport from the factory to the site and covering the end 12 of each profile with the end 12 of the neighboring profile during installation.
- the depth of the central groove 1 and the lateral ribs 2 is approximately 8 cm, its developed width is 47 cm, and its moment of inertia is 100 cm4 for a thickness of 3 mm.
- the calculation shows that by extending the outer flanks 3a of the type A profile with wings 3b by 6 cm, we obtain a moment of inertia of 155 cm une with a profile thickness of 2 mm, and a moment of inertia of 232 cm4 with a profile thickness of 2.5 mm. If the wings 3b are 8 cm, the moment of inertia is 242 cm4 for a profile thickness of 2 mm and 363 cm4 for a profile thickness of 2.5 mm. It can be seen that the moments of inertia are considerably increased for a profile weight per linear meter that is greatly reduced with a profile thickness of 2 mm and substantially equal if the profile thickness is 2.5 mm.
- the length of the extension of the wings 3b and the thickness of the profile 11 are calculated in such a way that the moment of inertia of the profile 11 is increased by at least 50% compared to the standard slides A or B.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte aux glissières de sécurité routière : elle est donc applicable à des infrastructures de circulation.The present invention relates to road safety barriers: it is therefore applicable to traffic infrastructures.
Plus précisément elle se rapporte à une glissière de sécurité déformable, placée le long des routes, constituée de profilés métalliques assemblés par recouvrement partiel et boulonnage, et supportés de place en place par des poteaux verticaux, le profilé présentant une rainure centrale entourée de nervures latérales situées de part et d'autre de ladite rainure centrale présentant chacune une ligne de sommet située dans un même plan vertical parallèle au plan vertical XX′ tangent au fond de la rainure, formant un relief du côté de la chaussée et ayant chacune un flanc extérieur replié dans une direction opposée à la chaussée et prolongé par une aile au-delà dudit plan vertical XX′ tangent au fond de la rainure.More specifically, it relates to a deformable safety barrier, placed along the roads, consisting of metal profiles assembled by partial covering and bolting, and supported from place to place by vertical posts, the profile having a central groove surrounded by lateral ribs. located on either side of said central groove each having a vertex line located in the same vertical plane parallel to the vertical plane XX ′ tangent to the bottom of the groove, forming a relief on the side of the floor and each having an outer side folded in a direction opposite to the roadway and extended by a wing beyond said vertical plane XX ′ tangent to the bottom of the groove.
L'invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à une glissière incorporant un profilé métallique classique, normalisé AFNOR et dit de type A ou B.The invention relates more particularly to a slide incorporating a conventional metal profile, AFNOR standardized and called type A or B.
On sait que le long des voies de circulation on installe des glissières de sécurité destinées à empêcher les véhicules de quitter la voie de circulation lors d'un incident ou d'un accident. Ces glissières de sécurité sont des profilés métalliques qui constituent une bande disposée verticalement, ayant une ligne moyenne sensiblement parallèle au chemin de roulement de la voie de circulation et sont supportés à des distances régulières par des poteaux verticaux disposés du côté de la glissière où ne se trouve pas la voie de circulation bordée par ladite glissière. L'utilisation de ces glissières de sécurité est courante en bordure des voies autoroutières, sur toute la longueur de la voie, mais également en bordure de voies routières ordinaires, soit dans les zones où la sortie de route serait particulièrement dangereuse, soit, pour les voies à grand trafic, dans les zones médianes séparant les deux sens de circulation.We know that along traffic lanes, safety barriers are installed to prevent vehicles from leaving the lane during an incident or accident. These safety barriers are metallic profiles which constitute a strip arranged vertically, having an average line substantially parallel to the raceway of the taxiway and are supported at regular distances by vertical posts disposed on the side of the slide where not find the traffic lane bordered by said slide. The use of these safety barriers is common at the edge of motorway lanes, along the entire length of the lane, but also along the edge of ordinary roadways, either in areas where the exit from the road would be particularly dangerous, or, for busy roads, in the middle areas separating the two directions of traffic.
On peut noter que l'un des profilés A ou B utilisés couramment, qui est boulonné sur ses supports, a un moment d'inertie faible par rapport à un axe vertical passant par son centre de gravité : ce moment d'inertie est de l'ordre de 100 cm⁴. La conséquence de ce moment d'inertie faible est, d'une part, que le rayon de courbure qu'adopte la glissière soumise à un moment fléchissant dû au choc d'un véhicule est faible : il est en effet proportionnel à ce moment d'inertie ; la poche de déformation ainsi créée est donc profonde, ce qui entraîne des difficultés de sortie du dispositif de sécurité pour le véhicule qui a créé cette déformation : d'autre part, la volonté des services de gestion des routes est de limiter la distance entre les obstacles et la glissière de sécurité, afin de ne pas trop diminuer l'accotement de la chaussée. Ce souci conduit à implanter des supports rapprochés les uns des autres afin de limiter la profondeur de cette poche de déformation.It can be noted that one of the profiles A or B commonly used, which is bolted to its supports, at a time low inertia compared to a vertical axis passing through its center of gravity: this moment of inertia is of the order of 100 cm⁴. The consequence of this weak moment of inertia is, on the one hand, that the radius of curvature adopted by the slide subjected to a bending moment due to the impact of a vehicle is small: it is indeed proportional to this moment d inertia; the deformation pocket thus created is therefore deep, which causes difficulties in leaving the safety device for the vehicle which created this deformation: on the other hand, the will of the road management services is to limit the distance between the obstacles and the safety barrier, so as not to reduce too much the shoulder of the road. This concern leads to implanting supports close to each other in order to limit the depth of this deformation pocket.
Ces supports sont implantés actuellement tous les 4 m environ, voire 2 m là où les obstacles sont très près des glissières : ils peuvent même dans ce cas être renforcés. On voit voit ainsi que le faible moment d'inertie du profilé conduit à implanter un nombre de supports plus important que si le profilé avait un moment d'inertie plus fort : or, l'implantation des supports représente la part majeure du coût de pose des glissières de sécurité.These supports are currently installed approximately every 4 m, or even 2 m where the obstacles are very close to the slides: they can even be reinforced in this case. We can thus see that the low moment of inertia of the profile leads to implanting a greater number of supports than if the profile had a stronger moment of inertia: however, the implantation of the supports represents the major part of the installation cost safety barriers.
Les supports en grand nombre entraînent également des inconvénients pour la tenue des talus de remblais (poinçonnement), et créent un danger potentiel pour les motards ayant glissé sur la chaussée, et pouvant venir percuter ces supports.The supports in large numbers also lead to drawbacks for the holding of embankment slopes (punching), and create a potential danger for bikers who have slipped on the road, and may come into impact with these supports.
Il existe donc un intérêt aussi bien technique qu'économique de tenter de diminuer le nombre de ces supports, en augmentant le moment d'inertie, par rapport à un axe vertical, du profilé de la glissière.There is therefore both technical and economic interest in trying to reduce the number of these supports, by increasing the moment of inertia, relative to a vertical axis, of the profile of the slide.
L'avantage technique est d'augmenter le rayon de courbure du profilé à la suite du même choc, ce qui conduit à une meilleure répartition des efforts sur les supports et à un meilleur guidage du véhicule en perdition.The technical advantage is to increase the radius of curvature of the profile following the same impact, which leads to a better distribution of the forces on the supports and to better guidance of the sinking vehicle.
Cette diminution du nombre de supports entraîne également des avantages techniques sur la tenue des remblais, et une meilleure sécurité pour les motocyclistes, comme il est indiqué plus haut.This reduction in the number of supports also leads to technical advantages on the holding of the embankments, and a better safety for motorcyclists, as noted above.
L'avantage économique est de pouvoir diminuer le nombre de supports de la glissière de sécurité pour un enfoncement équivalent en cas de choc et donc de diminuer le coût de fourniture et de mise en place des glissières de manière importante.The economic advantage is to be able to reduce the number of supports of the safety barrier for an equivalent depression in the event of an impact and therefore to reduce the cost of supplying and installing the rails significantly.
Les calculs en résistance des matériaux montrent qu'il est possible, en augmentant le moment d'inertie du profilé, d'implanter les supports tous les 5 ou 6 m environ au lieu de 4 m dans un dispositif traditionnel ou bien de maintenir les supports tous les 4 m là où un profilé de plus faible inertie aurait nécessité leur doublement.The resistance calculations of the materials show that it is possible, by increasing the moment of inertia of the profile, to install the supports every 5 or 6 m approximately instead of 4 m in a traditional device or to maintain the supports every 4 m where a profile of lower inertia would have required their doubling.
Le brevet U.S 2 776 116 montre une glissière telle que définie ci-dessus dans laquelle les ailes du profilé divergent à 45o, ce qui procure un moment d'inertie faible. De plus, les ailes ont tendance à s'ouvrir fortement lors des chocs éventuels de sorte que le moment d'inertie diminue fortement au moment de l'impact juste au moment où il serait nécessaire d'avoir un moment d'inertie élevé pour conserver la rigidité de la glissière.U.S. Patent 2,776,116 shows a slider as defined above wherein the flanges of the section diverging 45 o, thereby providing a low moment of inertia. In addition, the wings tend to open strongly during possible shocks so that the moment of inertia decreases sharply at the moment of impact just when it would be necessary to have a high moment of inertia to maintain the rigidity of the slide.
Un autre profilé connu est représenté dans la demande de brevet allemande 1 960 908 sous la désignation profil A modifié. Ce profil A modifié a pour but de permettre une augmentation de l'épaisseur de la paroi du profilé tout en conservant au profilé modifié à peu près le même poids que celui d'un profilé A classique auquel se réfère l'objet de la présente invention, également représenté dans cette demande de brevet allemande publiée 1 960 908. Selon la proposition connue on peut augmenter l'épaisseur de la paroi du profilé tout en conservant le même poids initial en diminuant la profondeur de la rainure centrale à peu près de moitié tout en conservant la longueur initiale du flanc extérieur des nervures latérales. Ceci entraîne évidemment une diminution du moment d'inertie du profilé modifié alors que l'un des buts de la présente invention est d'augmenter le moment d'inertie du profilé pour une épaisseur de paroi donnée ou de diminuer cette épaisseur de paroi du profilé tout en conservant le même moment d'inertie donné. De plus, cette proposition de profilé n'est pas superposable avec celui de la glissière A.Another known profile is shown in German patent application 1,960,908 under the designation modified profile A. The purpose of this modified profile A is to allow an increase in the thickness of the wall of the profile while keeping the modified profile roughly the same weight as that of a conventional profile A to which the object of the present invention refers. , also shown in this German patent application published 1 960 908. According to the known proposal, it is possible to increase the thickness of the wall of the profile while retaining the same initial weight by reducing the depth of the central groove by almost half while retaining the initial length of the outer flank of the lateral ribs. This obviously leads to a reduction in the moment of inertia of the modified profile whereas one of the aims of the present invention is to increase the moment of inertia of the profile for a given wall thickness or to decrease this wall thickness of the profile while maintaining the same moment of inertia given. In addition, this profile proposal cannot be superimposed with that of slideway A.
Une autre glissière présentant un profilé différent est connue par le brevet US 2 228 652. Dans ce cas, la glissière connue n'a pas pour but de se déformer sous l'action du choc d'un véhicule, mais, par une conformation particulière, de saisir le moyeu des roues du véhicule à sa partie supérieure et d'exercer sur ce moyeu une force sollicitant la roue à rester en contact avec la chaussée. Compte tenu du fait que cette glissière n'est pas fixée sur le poteau de support au fond de la rainure centrale, mais est tenue par ses extrémités latérales, et que les flancs extérieurs sont prolongés à l'horizontale vers l'arrière pour permettre la fixation de la glissière, il se produit en cas de choc brutal d'un véhicule un cisaillement du profilé et celui-ci ne peut plus servir de glissière.Another slide having a different profile is known from US Pat. No. 2,228,652. In this case, the known slide does not aim to deform under the action of the impact of a vehicle, but, by a particular conformation. , to grasp the hub of the vehicle wheels at its upper part and to exert on this hub a force urging the wheel to remain in contact with the road. In view of the fact that this slide is not fixed to the support post at the bottom of the central groove, but is held by its lateral ends, and that the outer flanks are extended horizontally towards the rear to allow the fixing the slide, in the event of a sudden impact from a vehicle, the profile shears and it can no longer be used as a slide.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une glissière de sécurité du type mentionné, dans laquelle le profilé a un moment d'inertie supérieur au moment d'inertie des profilés utilisés actuellement et qui de plus puisse être assemblé avec les profilés actuels sans difficultés.The object of the present invention is to provide a safety barrier of the type mentioned, in which the profile has a moment of inertia greater than the moment of inertia of the profiles currently used and which moreover can be assembled with the current profiles without difficulty. .
Le but est atteint selon l'invention par le fait que le flanc extérieur des nervures latérales du profilé se prolonge au-delà dudit plan vertical tangent au fond de la rainure centrale, sur une distance comprise entre la moitié et le double de la distance séparant ledit plan vertical du plan passant par les lignes de sommet des nervures latérales.The object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the outer flank of the lateral ribs of the profile extends beyond said vertical plane tangent to the bottom of the central groove, over a distance between half and double the distance separating said vertical plane of the plane passing through the top lines of the lateral ribs.
De préférence, cette aile est de même épaisseur et de même matière que le profilé.Preferably, this wing is of the same thickness and of the same material as the profile.
Il est avantageux que les deux ailes du profilé soient divergentes de manière à permettre l'emboîtement des profilés pour le transport et pour l'assemblage.It is advantageous that the two wings of the profile are divergent so as to allow the interlocking of the profiles for transport and for assembly.
Grâce à la présence de ces ailes qui s'étendent sur l'arrière du profilé et du côté opposé à la chaussée, le moment d'inertie du profilé, par rapport à un axe vertical passant par son centre de gravité, est considérablement augmenté. Ce moment d'inertie qui est de 100 cm⁴ environ pour un profilé actuel en forme de W, dont la profondeur de la rainure est de 80 mm environ, augmente de 10 % avec des ailes de 3 cm et double de valeur avec des ailes de 6 cm.Thanks to the presence of these wings which extend over the rear of the profile and on the side opposite the roadway, the moment of inertia of the profile, with respect to a vertical axis passing through its center of gravity, is considerably increased. This moment of inertia which is approximately 100 cm⁴ for a current W-shaped profile, the groove depth of which is 80 mm approximately, increases by 10% with 3 cm wings and doubles in value with 6 cm wings.
Le profil du profilé du côté de la chaussée est de préférence semblable à celui de l'un ou l'autre des deux modèles de glissières couramment utilisés. Ceci permet l'adaptation de ces modèles de glissières et de la glissière de la présente invention sans difficultés.The profile of the profile on the side of the road is preferably similar to that of one or the other of the two models of slideways commonly used. This allows the adaptation of these models of slides and the slide of the present invention without difficulties.
Le poseur de glissières peut donc installer successivement des glissières traditionnelles, puis des glissières selon l'invention, avec les mêmes outils, les mêmes méthodes et sans difficultés techniques supplémentaires.The installer of slides can therefore successively install traditional slides, then slides according to the invention, with the same tools, the same methods and without additional technical difficulties.
Il est intéressant que ces ailes aient une orientation se rapprochant de l'horizontale, de manière à augmenter ainsi au maximum le moment d'inertie de la glissière par rapport à un axe vertical. Cette orientation peut être obtenue en donnant au profilé la forme d'un arc de parabole, de part et d'autre de la rainure centrale. Cette forme a en outre l'intérêt de répartir au mieux dans la structure les efforts reçus au sommet de cette parabole.It is interesting that these wings have an orientation approaching the horizontal, so as to thereby maximize the moment of inertia of the slide relative to a vertical axis. This orientation can be obtained by giving the profile the shape of a parabolic arc, on either side of the central groove. This shape also has the advantage of distributing as best as possible in the structure the forces received at the top of this parabola.
Il pourra être par ailleurs intéressant de plier l'extrémité de cette aile suivant un pli parallèle à l'axe de la route ; ce pli raidira le profilé et lui permettra d'être moins déformé sous le choc du véhicule.It may also be advantageous to fold the end of this wing in a fold parallel to the axis of the road; this fold will stiffen the profile and allow it to be less deformed under the impact of the vehicle.
Si l'on considère le plan vertical passant par la zone centrale en forme de rainure d'un profilé dont la rainure a une profondeur de 8 cm environ, le profilé s'étend en conséquence, du côté opposé à la voie de circulation, de 4 à 16 cm environ par rapport à ce plan et de préférence de 6 à 8 cm.If we consider the vertical plane passing through the central groove-shaped zone of a profile, the groove of which has a depth of approximately 8 cm, the profile extends accordingly, on the side opposite to the traffic lane, 4 to 16 cm approximately with respect to this plane and preferably 6 to 8 cm.
La bordure repliée de la nervure prolongée par une aile peut avoir une forme s'approchant de l'horizontale, par exemple de forme parabolique, lorsqu'on s'éloigne de la voie de circulation. Elle peut également comprendre un pli de 2 à 5 cm environ, nervurant l'extrémité de cette aile. Ce pli peut présenter un angle compris entre 1 et 90o par rapport à l'horizontale, le pli formant un angle obtus avec l'aile.The folded edge of the rib extended by a wing may have a shape approaching the horizontal, for example of parabolic shape, when one moves away from the taxiway. It can also include a fold of 2 to 5 cm approximately, ribbing the end of this wing. This bend may have an angle between 1 and 90 o relative to the horizontal, the bend forming an obtuse angle with the wing.
Les profilés métalliques sont fixés entre eux par des boulons, les têtes de boulons étant du côté de la voie de circu lation. Il sera intéressant que les emplacements des boulons soient compatibles avec ceux des profilés déjà en service, afin que leur adaptation réciproque soit commode ; il sera malgré tout nécessaire de placer deux boulons dans la zone de recouvrement des profilés, afin de mieux solidariser l'ensemble.The metal profiles are fixed to each other by bolts, the bolt heads being on the side of the track. lation. It will be interesting that the locations of the bolts are compatible with those of the sections already in service, so that their reciprocal adaptation is convenient; it will still be necessary to place two bolts in the area of overlap of the profiles, to better secure the assembly.
Le fort moment d'inertie du profilé par rapport à un axe vertical permet de choisir l'épaisseur de celui-ci dans une gamme allant de 1,5 mm à 3 mm, avec une préférence pour 2 mm d'épaisseur, qui est un compromis intéressant entre une résistance importante au choc et la masse unitaire d'un élément de profilé qui est alors de 60 kg environ.The strong moment of inertia of the profile with respect to a vertical axis makes it possible to choose the thickness of the latter in a range going from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, with a preference for 2 mm of thickness, which is a interesting compromise between a high impact resistance and the unit mass of a profile element which is then about 60 kg.
Ce fort moment d'inertie (environ double de celui des profilés actuellement utilisés) permet d'espacer les supports de 6 m environ en conservant l'efficacité au choc des glissières actuellement en service qui ont des supports distants de 4 m ; la courbe de guidage du véhicule en perdition est alors de plus grand rayon.This strong moment of inertia (approximately double that of the profiles currently used) allows the supports to be spaced approximately 6 m apart while retaining the impact efficiency of the slides currently in service which have supports spaced 4 m apart; the guide curve of the sinking vehicle is then of greater radius.
Il est à noter également que le grand développement de la bordure de la nervure permet de dissimuler à l'automobiliste le dessus des supports utilisés, et lui donne également un sentiment de plus grande sécurité par l'épaisseur vue du profilé, dans une position de conduite normale.It should also be noted that the large development of the edge of the rib makes it possible to conceal from the motorist the top of the supports used, and also gives him a feeling of greater security by the thickness seen from the profile, in a position of normal driving.
Pour mieux faire comprendre l'objet de l'invention, on va en décrire ci-après, à titre d'exemples purement illustratifs et non limitatifs, plusieurs modes de réalisation représentés sur les dessins annexés.To better understand the object of the invention, we will describe below, by way of purely illustrative and nonlimiting examples, several embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
Sur ces dessins :
- La figure 1 représente schématiquement et en perspective une glissière selon l'invention, boulonnée sur un support, un écarteur maintenant une distance d'environ 20 cm entre la rainure centrale de la glissière et le support.
- La figure 2 représente une coupe selon II - II de la figure 1.
- La figure 3 représente une coupe variante de celle de la figure 2, cette variante comportant deux nervures de forme sensiblement parabolique se développant sur les
4, 2, 3a et 3b du profilé. Le sommet de la parabole est situé sur laparties partie 2 de la nervure. - La figure 3 représente de plus le profilé avec un pli raidisseur de 45o environ avec l'horizontale.
- La figure 4 représente une variante possible de la figure 2, où l'on retrouve toutes les parties caractéristiques du profilé : les nervures y sont moins arrondies et correspondent avec la glissière B couramment utilisée.
- La figure 5 montre le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention obtenu à partir d'un profilé couramment utilisé de type A.
- Figure 1 shows schematically and in perspective a slide according to the invention, bolted to a support, a spacer maintaining a distance of about 20 cm between the central groove of the slide and the support.
- FIG. 2 represents a section on II - II of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 represents a section variant of that of FIG. 2, this variant comprising two ribs of substantially parabolic shape developing on the
4, 2, 3a and 3b of the profile. The top of the dish is located onparts part 2 of the rib. - Figure 3 also shows the profile with a stiffening fold of 45 o with the horizontal.
- Figure 4 shows a possible variant of Figure 2, where we find all the characteristic parts of the profile: the ribs are less rounded and correspond with the slide B commonly used.
- FIG. 5 shows the preferred embodiment of the invention obtained from a commonly used profile of type A.
La largeur des bordures extérieures peut varier entre 8 et 20 cm, suivant l'objectif de résistance au choc choisi.The width of the outer borders can vary between 8 and 20 cm, depending on the impact resistance objective chosen.
En se référant aux dessins et plus particulièrement aux figures 1 et 2, on voit que l'on a désigné par 11 le profilé métallique d'une glissière de sécurité. Les profilés 11 sont solidarisés par recouvrement sur une zone d'extrémité 12 où l'on voit les trous supplémentaires de boulonnage 8. Ce profilé est supporté par des poteaux verticaux 10. Le profilé 11 a une section en W et on a désigné par 1 la rainure centrale, et par 2 les nervures latérales situées de part et d'autre de la rainure centrale 1.Referring to the drawings and more particularly to Figures 1 and 2, it can be seen that the metal section of a safety barrier has been designated by 11. The profiles 11 are secured by overlapping on an
Le flanc extérieur 3a de chacune de ces nervures latérales 2 se prolonge au-delà d'un axe XX′ vertical sensiblement tangent du fond de la rainure 1 par deux ailes 3b de 7 cm environ.The
La largeur totale du profilé (L 1) est de 15 cm environ, mais la largeur de l'aile peut être choisie entre 3 et 12 cm environ suivant la rigidité souhaitée, selon les applications envisagées.The total width of the profile (L 1) is approximately 15 cm, but the width of the wing can be chosen between 3 and 12 cm approximately depending on the desired rigidity, depending on the applications envisaged.
Enfin, l'augmentation de la rigidité du profilé peut être obtenue également par la création d'un pli 5 d'une largeur de 2 à 5 cm à l'extrémité de l'aile 3b (figure 3). Ce pli peut être soit pratiquement dans le prolongement de la bordure (1o minimum par rapport à un plan horizontal), soit au contraire relevé jusqu'à 90o.Finally, the increase in the rigidity of the profile can also be obtained by creating a fold 5 with a width of 2 to 5 cm at the end of the
La forme générale du profilé, vue en coupe droite, pourra par ailleurs être composée de deux segments sensiblement paraboliques, encadrant la rainure centrale : chaque segment de parabole se développera sur les parties 4, 2, 3a et 3b, en continuité. Le sommet de la parabole sera le point de la nervure 2 le plus proche de la voie de circulation. Grâce à cette forme, le choc sur les nervures 2 se transmet dans les conditions les meilleures dans les ailes 3a et 3b et dans la partie 4, qui s'appuie sur la rainure 1.The general shape of the profile, seen in straight section, could also be composed of two substantially parabolic segments, framing the central groove: each parabola segment will develop on
Ces deux segments sensiblement paraboliques se relient au méplat de la rainure 1 par une courbure du profilé, tangente au flanc 4 et à la rainure 1.These two substantially parabolic segments connect to the flat of the groove 1 by a curvature of the profile, tangent to the
Lorsque le profilé est réalisé suivant un choix de moment d'inertie nettement supérieur à celui des profilés existants (de l'ordre du double), il est alors possible de ne soutenir les glissières que tous les 6 m : un profilé de 6 m, plus la longueur de recouvrement entre profilés nécessaire (soit 6,31 m environ au total), peut alors être fabriqué.When the profile is produced according to a choice of moment of inertia clearly greater than that of the existing profiles (of the order of double), it is then possible to support the slides only every 6 m: a 6 m profile, plus the length of overlap between profiles required (approximately 6.31 m in total), can then be manufactured.
Pour une largeur développée totale du profilé de 61 cm (ce qui correspond au profilé traditionnel, augmenté de deux ailes de 7 cm), le choix d'une épaisseur de 2 mm permet la fabrication d'un profilé de 6,31 m de long et d'un poids de 60 kg environ (pour 50 kg dans le cas d'un profilé traditionnel ayant 4 m de long et 3 mm d'épaisseur). Ce profilé, supporté tous les 6 m, évite notamment l'implantation du tiers des supports, écarteurs et boulons par rapport au profilé traditionnel. Son poids d'acier est également légèrement inférieur au mètre linéaire (10 kg environ contre 11,5 kg environ).For a total developed width of the profile of 61 cm (which corresponds to the traditional profile, increased by two wings of 7 cm), the choice of a thickness of 2 mm allows the manufacture of a profile of 6.31 m long and weighing approximately 60 kg (for 50 kg in the case of a traditional profile having 4 m long and 3 mm thick). This profile, supported every 6 m, notably avoids the installation of a third of the supports, spacers and bolts compared to the traditional profile. Its steel weight is also slightly lower than the linear meter (approximately 10 kg against approximately 11.5 kg).
La grande longueur du profilé permet de varier les possibilités d'implantation des supports, suivant le déplacement maximum souhaité en cas de choc : le minimum est d'un support tous les 6 m, ensuite un support tous les 3 m. Il peut être intéressant de pouvoir également implanter un support tous les 2 m, ce qui conduit à prévoir au maximum cinq évidements 6 dans la rainure du profilé : deux aux extrémités 12, un au milieu, et deux autres partageant le profilé en 3 parties de 2 m.The great length of the profile makes it possible to vary the possibilities of positioning the supports, according to the maximum displacement desired in the event of an impact: the minimum is of a support every 6 m, then a support every 3 m. It may be advantageous to also be able to implant a support every 2 m, which leads to providing a maximum of five recesses 6 in the groove of the profile: two at the
La figure 5 montre un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention. Le profilé 11 est obtenu en prolongeant le flanc extérieur 3a d'un profilé standard de type A couramment utilisé par une aile 3b qui prolonge le flanc extérieur 3a au-delà du plan XX′ tangent au fond de la rainure centrale 1 sur une distance comprise entre la moitié et le double de la profondeur de la rainure centrale 1. Les ailes 3b s'étendent en divergeant sur l'arrière du profilé 11. L'angle des ailes 3b avec l'horizontale est de 11o environ, ce qui permet d'emboîter les profilés 11 lors de transport de l'usine vers le chantier et de recouvrir l'extrémité 12 de chaque profilé avec l'extrémité 12 du profilé voisin lors de la pose.Figure 5 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention. Profile 11 is obtained by extending the
En ce qui concerne le profilé standard de type A couramment utilisé actuellement, la profondeur de la rainure centrale 1 et des nervures latérales 2 est de 8 cm environ, sa largeur développée est de 47 cm, et son moment d'inertie est 100 cm⁴ pour une épaisseur de 3 mm. Le calcul montre qu'en prolongeant les flancs extérieurs 3a du profilé de type A avec des ailes 3b de 6 cm, on obtient un moment d'inertie de 155 cm⁴ avec une épaisseur du profilé de 2 mm, et un moment d'inertie de 232 cm⁴ avec une épaisseur du profilé de 2,5 mm. Si les ailes 3b font 8 cm, le moment d'inertie est de 242 cm⁴ pour une épaisseur de profilé de 2 mm et de 363 cm⁴ pour une épaisseur de profilé de 2,5 mm. On constate que les moments d'inertie sont considérablement augmentés pour un poids de profilé au mètre linéaire fortement diminué avec une épaisseur de profilé de 2 mm et sensiblement égal si l'épaisseur de profilé est de 2,5 mm.Regarding the standard type A profile commonly used today, the depth of the central groove 1 and the
De préférence, la longueur du prolongement des ailes 3b et l'apaisseur d u profilé 11 sont calculées de telle manière que le moment d'inertie du profilé 11 soit augmenté au moins de 50% par rapport aux glissières A ou B standards.Preferably, the length of the extension of the
Il est bien entendu que les modes de réalisation ci-dessus décrits ne sont pas limitatifs et pourront donner lieu à toutes modifications désirables, sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.It is understood that the embodiments described above are not limiting and may give rise to any desirable modifications, without departing from the scope of the invention.
