Description

Lorsque les nuisances vibratoires et acoustiques, générées par le trafic ferroviaire, sont jugées inacceptables pour la traversée aérienne ou souterraine d'une zone d'habitation, il est possible, lors de la conception des voies de chemins de fer, de désolidariser globalement les fondations de celles-ci et filtrer ainsi efficacement les trépidations.When the vibration and acoustic nuisances generated by traffic rail, are deemed unacceptable for air crossing or underground of a residential area, it is possible, during the design railway tracks, to globally separate the foundations of these and thus effectively filter the vibrations.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant la mise en oeuvre de dalles béton armé de grande longueur, coulées sur place et levées, après séchage, par l'action combinée de boítes à ressort hélicoïdal et de vérins hydrauliques, au travers de réservations préalablement embétonnées.The present invention relates to a device allowing the implementation reinforced concrete slabs of great length, poured on site and lifted, after drying, by the combined action of helical spring boxes and hydraulic cylinders, through prior reservations embétonnées.

La technique antérieure à la présente invention pour la mise en oeuvre de telles fondations consiste, en général, à couler le béton sur des plaques ou des éléments en matières de synthèse aux caractéristiques élastiques limitées et mal connues. Cette technique ne permet pas d'obtenir des fréquences propres d'installation suffisamment basses pour garantir un bon filtrage. En outre, lors de la mise en oeuvre, des ponts rigides se créent entre dalle primaire et dalle suspendue. Ces points durs favorisent la transmission solidienne.The prior art to the present invention for the implementation of such foundations consist, in general, of pouring concrete on plates or synthetic materials with elastic characteristics limited and poorly known. This technique does not provide natural frequencies of installation sufficiently low to guarantee a good filtering. In addition, during installation, rigid bridges are created between primary slab and suspended slab. These hard points favor the solidary transmission.

Le document DE-B-2927852, qui décrit par ailleurs la mise en oeuvre de supports élastiques intégrables lors de la coulée des fondations de voies, concerne des appuis caoutchouc de fréquence propre relativement élevée qui ne permettent pas un filtrage efficace.Document DE-B-2927852, which further describes the implementation of elastic supports that can be integrated during the casting of track foundations, relates to rubber bearings of relatively high natural frequency which do not allow effective filtering.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif selon la revendication 1 annexée. Un tel dispositif conserve les avantages liés à l'utilisation de ressorts hélicoïdaux et permet, par la mise en oeuvre de vérins hydrauliques, le levage progressif de charges lourdes. Le vérin hydraulique permet la précontrainte du ressort. C'est la libération du ressort hélicoïdal qui assure le levage de la fondation.The present invention relates to a device according to claim 1 attached. Such a device retains the advantages associated with the use of helical springs and allows, by the use of cylinders hydraulic, progressive lifting of heavy loads. The cylinder hydraulic allows the spring preload. It’s the liberation of helical spring which ensures the lifting of the foundation.

L'absence de vis de réglage, en partie basse, dans la présente invention garantit la reprise des efforts horizontaux génères par les courbes de la voie.The absence of adjusting screws, in the lower part, in the present invention guarantees the recovery of the horizontal forces generated by the curves of the way.

La présence d'amortisseurs visqueux combinés avec les ressorts complète l'efficacité de la suspension lors du passage des convois. The presence of viscous dampers combined with the complete springs the effectiveness of the suspension when passing convoys.

Une fois l'opération de levage et de réglage de la fondation terminée, les vérins hydrauliques sont écartés et, comme dans le cas d'un plancher flottant sur boítes à ressort, la fondation de la voie ferrée est totalement désolidarisée de la dalle primaire.Once the lifting and setting operation of the foundation is complete, the hydraulic cylinders are moved apart and, as in the case of a floor floating on spring boxes, the foundation of the railway is completely disconnected from the primary slab.

Le dispositif hydraulique permet de faire varier les caractéristiques de la suspension en fonction d'une éventuelle évolution des charges.The hydraulic device makes it possible to vary the characteristics of the suspension depending on any change in charges.

Le choix des ressorts et des amortisseurs et leur répartition permet de reprendre les charges statiques (fondation béton) et dynamiques (passage des convois) en fonction du tracé de la voie.The choice of springs and shock absorbers and their distribution allows take up static and dynamic loads (concrete foundation) (passage of convoys) depending on the track layout.

En particulier, lors du passage de la zone non-isolée à la zone isolée, les appuis seront concentrés pour augmenter la raideur de la fondation et permettre un passage progressif en voies suspendues.In particular, when moving from the non-isolated area to the isolated area, the supports will be concentrated to increase the stiffness of the foundation and allow a gradual passage in suspended tracks.

Les boítes à ressorts destinées à la suspension des fondations de voies ferrées sont constituées :

  • d'une réservation avec ancrages, embétonnées lors de la coulée et protégée contre la corrosion,
  • d'un noyau constitué par un ressort protégé et ses plaques d'appui inférieures et supérieures, et d'un éventuel amortisseur,
  • d'un trèfle (6) équipé de 3 vis de réglage, le trèfle et la bague d'appui interne étant conformés de façon à constituer un ensemble de type à baïonnette permettant d'une part l'engagement du trèfle dans la bague d'appui pour l'interposition de celui-ci entre la bague et la boíte à ressort, et d'autre part la rotation du dit trèfle de façon à remplir une fonction d'appui contre la bague, lesdites vis de réglage permettant de transférer à la boíte à ressort, après levage de la dalle de fondation, par un vérin provisoirement verrouillé dans la partie supérieure de la réservation et prenant appui sur la boíte à ressort, les efforts transmis par la bague d'appui interne au trèfle,
  • d'un outillage hydraulique dont la mise en oeuvre est limitée aux opérations de levage et de réglage,
  • d'un couvercle assurant l'étanchéité après dépose du vérin.
The spring boxes intended for the suspension of railway foundations are made up of:
  • a reservation with anchors, encased during casting and protected against corrosion,
  • a core constituted by a protected spring and its lower and upper bearing plates, and a possible shock absorber,
  • a clover (6) equipped with 3 adjusting screws, the clover and the internal support ring being shaped so as to constitute a bayonet type assembly allowing on the one hand the engagement of the clover in the ring support for the interposition of the latter between the ring and the spring box, and on the other hand the rotation of said clover so as to fulfill a support function against the ring, said adjustment screws making it possible to transfer to the spring box, after lifting of the foundation slab, by a cylinder temporarily locked in the upper part of the reservation and bearing on the spring box, the forces transmitted by the internal support ring to the clover,
  • hydraulic tools, the implementation of which is limited to lifting and adjusting operations,
  • a cover ensuring sealing after removal of the jack.

La figure 1 représente une coupe de principe d'une voie suspendue.Figure 1 shows a principle section of a suspended track.

La figure 2 représente la vue longitudinale correspondante.Figure 2 shows the corresponding longitudinal view.

La figure 3 représente une coupe de boíte à ressort avec son amortisseur. Figure 3 shows a section of spring box with its damper.

Les figures 4a et 4b représentent la boíte à ressort introduite dans la réservation.Figures 4a and 4b show the spring box introduced into the booking.

Les figures 5a et 5b représentent la mise en oeuvre du vérin pour le levage progressif de la fondation de la voie ferrée.Figures 5a and 5b show the implementation of the cylinder for the gradual lifting of the railway foundation.

Les figures 6a et 6b représentent la boíte à ressort après dépose du vérin et fermeture du couvercle.Figures 6a and 6b show the spring box after removing the cylinder and closing the cover.

Le dispositif de la présente invention est donc constitué d'une réservation (1) intégrée dans la dalle (2) lors de la coulée du béton, la dalle primaire (3) servant de coffrage. Des ancrages prévus sur les réservations (4) permettent de solidariser celles-ci avec le béton et son armature.The device of the present invention therefore consists of a reservation (1) integrated in the slab (2) during the pouring of the concrete, the primary slab (3) serving as formwork. Anchorages provided on the reservations (4) allow these to be joined to the concrete and its frame.

Après séchage de la dalle, la boíte à ressort (5) est introduite dans la réservation et tournée de 60° pour que le trèfle (6) assure son rôle de plaque d'appui.After drying the slab, the spring box (5) is introduced into the reservation and 60 ° tour so that the clover (6) fulfills its role of support plate.

Le vérin (7) est, à son tour, introduit et verrouillé dans la réservation pour assurer le levage de la dalle par pression sur le ressort. L'effort du vérin est donc transmis à la dalle primaire (3) par l'intermédiaire du ressort précontraint.The cylinder (7) is, in turn, inserted and locked in the reservation to ensure the lifting of the slab by pressure on the spring. The effort of cylinder is therefore transmitted to the primary slab (3) via the prestressed spring.

Les 3 vis (8) ne participent pas aux efforts dynamiques de levage.The 3 screws (8) do not participate in dynamic lifting efforts.

L'opération est progressive et peut être renouvelée jusqu'à la hauteur de levage souhaitée.The operation is progressive and can be repeated up to the height of desired lift.

Le vérin est ensuite libéré de sa pression hydraulique et déverrouillé de la réservation. L'énergie potentielle est alors engrangée dans le ressort précontraint qui la délivrera lors du levage de la dalle (2) en fonction de l'avancement des travaux de précontrainte sur les autres réservations. Quand les ressorts sont précontraints en nombre suffisant, la dalle (2) s'élève de façon progressive.The cylinder is then released from its hydraulic pressure and unlocked from the reservation. The potential energy is then stored in the spring prestressed which will deliver it during the lifting of the slab (2) depending on the progress of prestressing work on other reservations. When the springs are pre-stressed in sufficient number, the slab (2) rises gradually.

Les 3 taquets (10) interdisent tout glissement horizontal de la partie supérieure du ressort.The 3 tabs (10) prevent any horizontal sliding of the part upper spring.

Le couvercle (11) est mis en place avec un joint d'étanchéité adapté (12).The cover (11) is put in place with a suitable seal (12).
