Definitions

  • the present invention relates to works of suspended construction, in particular on suspension bridges or hanging blankets.
  • the suspension devices of such structures include at least one carrying cable anchored to its two ends and lines which are themselves each hung on a collar fixed around the cable carrier.
  • the lines transmit the load of the structure to the carrying cable. Most often, they are not all perpendicular to the carrying cable, so that at least some of the clamps exert on the cable carrying an effort which has a tangent component to the carrying cable, called tangential force.
  • the carrying cable is constituted by a bundle of bare steel wires or strands, the cable carrier being enveloped by an outer protective layer paint or bitumen or by a tubular sheath.
  • This protective layer is generally interrupted in line with necklaces, which are very tightly tightened directly on the steel of the supporting cable.
  • French patent 2,739,112 describes a measurement to limit the tightening of the clamps on the cable carrier: auxiliary connecting cables connect between them the collars so as to compensate for the static part of the tangential force, due to the nominal load of the work.
  • the dynamic part (variable overloads according to traffic, weather conditions ...) is taken up by the clamping force of the collars on the carrying cable. This process requires tensioning of the connecting cables successive according to determined voltage values.
  • a main object of the present invention is to offer a simple and effective way of dealing with problem of tangential forces to which a carrying cable.
  • the invention thus provides a device for suspension for a construction work, comprising at minus a carrying cable and lines attached to the cable carrier by means of clamps, the carrier cable comprising a bundle of strands anchored at their ends and stretched by the load of the structure transmitted by the lines, and an envelope structure containing the strands and on which are mounted the necklaces.
  • the envelope structure present, parallel to the cable load-bearing, sufficient compressive strength to take up tangential components of the forces that clamps exert on the cable due to the transmission of the load by the lines, by not transmitting substantially no clamping force on the strands.
  • the structure envelope of the carrying cable comprises an outer tube, individual sheaths each containing a strand of cable and lubricant, and hardened filler occupying the space between the outer tube and the sheaths individual.
  • the strands are then effectively protected against corrosion and against fretting-corrosion phenomena.
  • the cured filler forms around from them a compression resistant matrix in the sense longitudinal for the recovery of tangential forces.
  • the suspension bridge shown in Figure 1 conventionally comprises an apron 1, two pylons 2, two parallel carrier cables 3, only one of which is visible on the drawing, and lines 4 which are attached to the cables 3 and which carry the apron 1.
  • the carrying cables 3 are stretched between two ground anchors 5 at both ends of the bridge (solid artificial anchors, rock anchors, or the case anchorages at both ends of the deck if is a "self-anchored” suspension bridge), and they are supported by the pylons 2.
  • the carrier cables 3 are discontinuous preference to the right of pylons 2, with anchoring on these pylons.
  • Each carrying cable 3 comprises one or more bundles of individually protected strands 6, one of which example is shown in figure 3.
  • the strand proper 7 forms the strand that will work in traction.
  • This strand 7 is made up of several wires of twisted steel (seven in number in the example represented).
  • the steel of the wires may have been subjected to a anti-corrosion treatment (galvanization, coating by a Zn-Al alloy ).
  • Strand 7 is embedded in a material lubricant 8 itself covered by an outer sheath 9 made of flexible plastic, for example polyethylene high density (HDPE).
  • the lubricating material 8 protects also the steel of the wires against corrosion. It is typically a fat or wax.
  • the individually protected strands 6 of the cable carrier 3 are housed in an outer tube 10 extending over the entire length of the carrying cable between its two anchored ends.
  • a hardened filling product 12 fills the space remaining between the outer tube 10 and the individual sheaths 9 of the strands (FIG. 2).
  • the tube exterior 10 can be made of metal or a material plastic such as HDPE.
  • the filling product 12 can be a cement grout, a polymer or a resin.
  • Each hanger 4 has its lower end fixed to deck 1 of the bridge, and its upper end fixed to the carrying cable 3 using a collar 13.
  • Each collar 13 includes for example two semi-cylindrical shells 13a, 13b bolted to each other around the cable carrier 3, the upper end of the hanger 4 being articulated on one of the two shells 13a.
  • the envelope structure containing the strands 7 of the carrying cable 3, consisting of individual sheaths 9 of these strands, by the matrix formed by the product of hardened filling 12 and by the outer tube 10, allows not to transmit to the strands 7 efforts of jamming generated by fixing the collars transmitting the load supported by each hanger individual 4.
  • the stretched strands 7 of the carrying cable 3 can be replaced individually without dismantling the clamps 13, for example as follows.
  • This one is then stretched using a jack at the measured voltage value, then anchor.
  • the lubricant 8 present inside the sheath individual 9 allows easy strand extraction 7.
  • a lubricant such as grease is brought around the new strand as it enters the sheath 9, to facilitate this penetration, protect the new strand against corrosion, and facilitate its replacement ulterior.
  • Figure 4 shows another example of a strand individually protected 16 usable in a device suspension according to the invention.
  • the strand itself, or strand, 7 is coated with a protective material 18 such than a wax or a fat, and surrounded by a first sealed plastic sheath 19 which can for example conform to the shape of the periphery of the strand 7, like the shown in Figure 4.
  • a lubricant 20 such as grease gets between this first sheath 19 and the sheath individual 21 of the strand 16.
  • Figure 5 shows schematically another individually protected strand structure 24 usable in a device according to the invention.
  • Sheath individual 25 of these strands 24 have bulges 26 spaced along the direction of the carrying cable 3. These spaced apart bulges 26 are longitudinally offset relative to each other to the placement of the strands individually protected 24 in the outer tube 10 of the cable. They thus provide intervals i between the individual sheaths 25 of these strands, intervals which allow the injected filler 12 to be well pass between all the strands 24 to form a matrix consistent after hardening.
  • the forces of friction, applying a clamp to the clamps 13 moderate (which is not transmitted to the stretched strands 7). It is advantageous that the internal face and / or the external face of the outer tube 10 of the cable 3 are provided with reliefs transverse to the right of the collars where such tangential efforts. The radial tightening of the collars can then be very weak, or even zero.
  • the tube 10 is consists of smooth sections 30 extending between the necklaces, and 40.50.60 sections located at the collars 13. These sections 40, 50, 60 are welded end to end with the smooth sections 30. Their shaping can be ensured during their manufacture by molding, while the smooth sections 30 are conventionally produced by extrusion.
  • the external face of the tube section 40 has circumferential grooves 41, and the internal face of the collar 13 has streaks complementary 42 to engage on the tube outside 10 and transmit the tangential force.
  • the wall of the section of tube 50 has undulations in the manner of a bellows, causing transverse reliefs 51.52 on its internal and external faces.
  • the tangential effort exerted by the collar 13, the internal face of which has corresponding grooves 53, is transmitted almost directly inside hardened filling material of tube 10.
  • the tube section 60 has streaks 61 on its internal face, which transmit the tangential force to the injected material and hardened inside the tube 10.
  • a protuberance annular 62 is present on the external face of the section of tube 60, and the internal face of the collar 13 has a complementary annular groove 63 engaging on this protuberance 62 for transmitting the force tangential.
