Definitions

  • the present invention relates to stopping falls from stones on sloping ground and in particular a dynamic rockfall arrest barrier in which the carrying cables have loops of energy dissipation.
  • Fall protection barriers stones generally consist of a net held by posts across the predicted path of the stones on sloping ground.
  • the net consists of cables metallic, for example stainless steel, the wefts of which can slide relative to each other at the level of knots and linked mechanically by cable ties with stirrup.
  • the net is supported by guy wires connected to poles whose the feet can be fixed or articulated at their level foundation in the ground, the posts being stabilized by cables anchored in the ground upstream and downstream.
  • the net has a faculty of relative movement conferred by organs of limited resistance link which are cables placed between the net and upstream anchors, and which include traction limiting devices likely to leave spin portions of spare cable between jaws tightened so as to dissipate part of the energy by friction.
  • organs of limited resistance link which are cables placed between the net and upstream anchors, and which include traction limiting devices likely to leave spin portions of spare cable between jaws tightened so as to dissipate part of the energy by friction.
  • the traction limiters fail when the sliding between the jaws reaches the end of its travel.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dynamic rockfall stop barrier in which loops using fusible cables allow the dissipation of kinetic energy due to the impact of blocks without causing the breakage of the carrying cables.
  • the main object of the invention is therefore a loop of energy dissipation for dynamic barrier stop rock fall of the type comprising a net disposed between posts anchored to the ground and held in place with cables carriers connecting the posts to support plates anchored to the ground; such a loop being mounted on at least one of the cables carriers and comprising a fusible cable of a length determined with reduced yield strength and modulus lower in elasticity than that of the carrying cable, the cable fuse comprising at each end a blocking means connecting the fuse cable and the cable carrying so that at rest the length of the fuse cable located between the locking means is significantly less than the length of the carrying cable located between the locking means, and each of the blocking means being intended to block the fuse cable on the carrying cable after the carrying cable has been subjected to a tensile force due to a fall of stones so that the fuse cable subsequently suffers a tensile force first causing its elongation and then its rupture.
  • Another object of the invention is a barrier dynamic rock fall arrest in which one or several of the carrying cables include a set of energy dissipation loops according to the invention arranged in parallel or a set of dissipation loops of energy according to the invention arranged in series or a combination of the two.
  • a dynamic barrier according to the invention is installed along a contour line and looks like illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • a metal net is secured to the ground by means of posts anchored to the ground and held by carrying cables 14 and guy lines 16 anchored on the ground by means of support plates 18 and anchors.
  • energy dissipation kinetics is carried out initially thanks to the mesh particular of the net which allows, upon impact, to make slide the cables forming the frame.
  • the supporting cables which can as in the example illustrated in figure 1, form a triangle using two pulleys 20 or recesses located at the bottom and top of the posts 12, collect after the shock of the block most of kinetic energy acquired by the block and therefore must be equipped with energy dissipation mechanisms.
  • These mechanisms are loops with fusible cables as we will see, and can be, according to modes individuals carrying out the invention, loops mounted in parallel 22 or 24 or loops mounted in series 26.
  • FIG. 3 A first embodiment of a loop of energy dissipation is shown in Figure 3.
  • the loop includes a fuse cable 30 which can slide with the carrying cable 14 in two sliding means such as sliding sleeves 32 and 34 generally made of aluminum in which the two cables are clamped against each other according to a greater or lesser clamping force determining the friction resistance to be opposed to a force of traction exerted on the carrying cable 14.
  • a stop sleeve 36 or 38 At each end of the fuse cable 30 is a stop sleeve 36 or 38, generally made of aluminum fixed on the cable.
  • AT the inside of the loop 40 formed by the carrying cable 14 find two other stop sleeves 42 and 44 fixed on the carrier cable 14.
  • the left part is identical to the first mode of realization, but on the right side, there is only one locking sleeve 46 which together blocks the carrying cable 14 and the fuse cable 30.
  • everything is therefore passes in the manner described with reference to the first mode illustrated in FIG. 3, while for the right side, there is blockage from the start.
  • the fuse cable 30 stretches, lengthens and breaks when the sliding sleeve 32 is in abutment on the stop sleeve 36.
  • the two right and left parts have also locking sleeves 46 and 48.
  • the cable fuse 30 goes directly into tension lengthens and breaks.
  • the loop 40 of the carrying cable must have a length such that when the sleeves sliding stops on the stop sleeve (s) in the embodiments of Figures 3 and 4 or immediately in the embodiment of Figure 5, the length of the fuse cable 30 is less than the length of the part of carrying cable between the two locking points.
  • the length of the loop 40 should not be is too large to prevent an acceleration too much of the carrying cable when the fuse cable.
  • a larger loop 40 must be provided as in the illustration in figure 1 since the two cables start by sliding against each other with the result of reducing the length of the loop 40 located between the sleeves.
  • FIG. 6B a tensile force due to the impact of a block is exerted on the carrying cable 14 in the direction of arrows.
  • the fuse cable 30 has slid against the cable carrier in the sliding sleeve 32 (which dissipates a part of kinetic energy) until the stop sleeve 42 comes into abutment against the sliding sleeve 32.
  • the length of the loop 40 between the sleeves was therefore scaled down.
  • an interest in energy dissipation loops according to the invention is to mount them in parallel or in series of so that when each fusible cable breaks, the voltage exercises on the following until all cables fuses of all the loops are broken.
  • An example mounting of parallel loops is illustrated in figure 7 where all the loops are according to the embodiment of the Figure 5.
  • the fuse cable 50 is stretched between the two locking sleeves 52 and 54.
  • the fuse cable 50 breaks and the second fuse cable 56 breaks tends between the two locking sleeves 58 and 60.
  • After break of the fuse cable 56 it is the turn of the fuse cable 62 to be stretched between the sleeves 64 and 66 and finally to the cable 68 between sleeves 70 and 72.
  • the carrying cable 14 itself tends to its turn since there are no more unbroken fuse cables.
  • the kinetic energy to be dissipated gradually weakens the rupture of successive fuse cables. That is why, it is possible to provide successive fuse cables of which the resistance force opposite to the traction force exerted on the carrying cable is decreasing. Normally, with optimal mounting, the resistance opposed by the last fuse cable should be relatively small as far where the kinetic energy to dissipate is low at this time.
  • Load-bearing cables used in barriers rock fall arrest dynamics are generally metal cables, preferably steel, with a diameter generally between 10 and 25mm.
  • Fuse cables are cables with a length for example between 0.5m and lm and which can be the same diameter as the carrier cables.
  • Fuse cables which must have a reduced elastic limit and a modulus of elasticity lower than that of carrier cables, can be metal, especially steel, but also a material plastic or composite with mechanical parameters equivalent to steel, fire and radiation resistant they are constantly exposed to.
