Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reinforced soil vegetative wall and to a method for realizing the same.
  • the invention relates to a wall of the said type, suitable for creating more or less steep walls or embankments where it is necessary to reinforce the structure of the soil within the full respect of the characteristics of the landscape.
  • the innovatory characteristics described in said patent consist in the fact that the front walls of the support grids have an inclination corresponding to that of the steep escarp, in the fact that among the superposed support grids reinforcement members in a geotextile material are arranged, fixed by fasteners, and in the fact that said reinforcement members cover the inserts in correspondence with the horizontal walls of the ggrids.
  • a process for realizing the said arrangement that provides the realization of a support floor; the arrangement of a first reinforcement thereon; the incorporation of a support grid with the geotextile insert already coupled; the introduction of soil into the grid, compacting it; the realization of another support floor to execute the preceding stages again, and the turning green of the escarp.
  • the structure described in said patent turns out to be very complex in that it provides, besides the geotextile material, a reinforcement indispensable to be able to obtain the necessary strength characteristics.
  • the Applicant with the solution suggested according to the present invention intends obviating all the mentioned drawbacks realizing a vegetative wall having a very simple structure, that allows the realization of efficacious anchorages with a reduced length, without having to employ external reinforcements.
  • the vegetative wall according to the present invention ensures a staticity equal to that deriving from the structures in concrete.
  • This type of solution combines the strength typical of two different materials: the soil and the extruded geogrid.
  • a comparatively great amount of the cheaper and more resistant to compression - soil - is improved in its strength characteristics by the combination with a comparatively small amount of a more costly and much more traction stress resistant material, such as the extruded geogrid.
  • a synergy is so realized between the strength to compression and to traction of the two materials, which improves the global characteristics of the composite material, as occurs with concrete and steel.
  • each of said horizontal layers comprises an inwards bent, frontly arranged extruded geogrid; a presown biomat, arranged inside said geogrid, at least in correspondence to its front surface; vegetable soil, arranged on said layer in its front zone, in correspondence to geogrid and biomat; and a filler material, arranged at the rear of said vegetable soil.
  • scions and/or rhizomes can be provided between said horizontal layers.
  • the extruded geogrid in a plastic material, will have, preferably, openings with a maximum size between 7 and 16 cm and an empty area greater than the 50% of the total.
  • Said presown biomat, in a long decay nonwoven fabric preferably will have the following features:
  • a row of rhizomes and/or scions is deposited over the previously bent geogrid, in the most external portion.
  • the vegetative wall 1 in reinforced soil comprises a series of superposed horizontal layers 2, each one made up of an extruded geogrid 3, upon which a presown biomat 4 is arranged.
  • an inert material layer 5 of about 15 to 20 cm is distributed onto the base.
  • a temporarary front caisson work is then erected and the geogrid 3 is tentered on the inert material 5, so as to recover it for all the length and the presown biomat 4 is internally deposited onto the same geogrid 3.
  • each layer 2 and therefore the filler material amount to be utilized will be everytime calculated as a function of the characteristics of the slope and of the soil.
  • the extruded geogrid 3 in a plastic material is a particular plane structure made up of a regular arrangement of members resistant to traction, which structure is endowed with openings of a size sufficient to allow the jointing of the surrounding soil, so as to accomplish the functions of reinforcement and/or separation.
  • An extruded geogrid 3 is dimensionally stable, with rigid threads and fixed joints, and this ensures the integrity of the structure and of the geometry of the grid 3 during the laying and the tamping of the soil.
  • the geogrids 3 most used by far have openings with a maximum size comprised between 7 and 16 cm, and an empty area greater than the 50% of the total.
  • the resistance capacity of the geogrid 3 is "utilized" at the moment in which the soil particles push jointing themselves between the longitudinal loop members; the latter transfer the stress, through the junctions, to the adjacent transverse members, which resist to the traction stress.
  • the transfer of the load through the junctions is the mechanism by which the geogrid 3 causes the reinforcemen action in the surrounding soil.
  • the extruded geogrid 3 compared with the traditional geotextiles, has shown that: it reacts well to "creep" - a strain under load in time - a phenomenon to which traditional geotextiles, for which, as already mentioned, it is necessary to provide strengthening reinforcements (electrowelded nets; iron rods; tie rods), are on the contrary subject; and it possesses a high resistance to both chemical and physiical agents, such that practically it can be considered very durable in time.
  • the choice of the type and of the amount of geogrid 3 to be utilized is a function of the characteristics of the soil and of the characteristics of the slope.
  • the inner friction angle and the specific weight of the filler soil 6 assumes a peculiar importance; among the characteristics of the slope the height of the slope, the angle of inclination of the outer face, the breaking depth, the overload, etc., are pointed out.
  • the filler material 6 of the layers formed by the geogrid 3 can be of the most different types and even possess poor geomechanical characteristics (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
  • the biomat 4 is made up of a long decay nonwoven fabric mat, comprised of biodegradable fibres made cohesive mechanically by stretching, without employing bonding agents or sizes or sewings, and/or of filaments and a plastics net (Fig. 2).
  • the aforesaid material possesses the following characteristics:
  • the choice of the seeds to be inserted into the mat 4 is based in particular upon the biotechnical aptitudes of the vegetable.
  • Euriecal,perennial species with deep and wide hypogeal apparatuses will be chosen, in order to aggregate the filler material and the geogrids 3 in a compact mass.
  • the characteristics of the placement station such as the climate and the autochtonous vegetation, turn out to be not less important for the choice of the vegetable.
  • the vegetation will reach an optimum- development and the external face will turn out to be entirely turned green and the various constructive handworks will turn out to be obstructed to the view.
  • the vegetation once reached the omeostasis, will be able to live, progress and autonomously reproduce, without any external intervention.
  • the outerest portion of the layers 2 will be occupied by vegetable soil 7 (Fig. 2) so as to create the optimum habitability and nutrition conditions for the development of the vegetation.
  • the easy radication scions or rhyzoms 8, interposed between the layers 2, will ensure, with their developed and deep root apparatus, an aggregation and a further consolidation of the earthy particles, of the filler material 6 and of the geogrid 3 in a stable and compact mass.
  • the vegetative wall according to the present invention allows a support and consolidation embankment to be realized having even considerable slopes, and therefore reduced depth encumbrances, with a completely turned green outer face.
  • the resulting structure besides not requiring a further ordinary maintenance, resists seismic stresses, is perfectly draining and is comprised of unalterable materials.
