Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the field of construction and public works. Its purpose an underground passage, plus particularly intended for the circulation of vehicles.
  • the invention also covers elements of prefabricated pedestals, specially adapted to the realization of such a work.
  • the work consists prefabricated wall elements arranged one at a time following each other on a platform in the bottom of the trench.
  • the structure includes, in cross section to the axis, an upper element forming a vault resting on two pedestals placed on either side of a raft.
  • the upper longitudinal joints between the arch element and the top edges of both pedestals are made up of joints which give the structure relative flexibility, particularly when carrying out the embankment.
  • the wall elements have advantageously a curved upper part which tangentially connects to the upper element, so as to form a continuous arch.
  • a slab element prefabricated or cast in square, which connects to the inner sides of the bases pedestals by concrete joints forming a rigid longitudinal connection, the assembly thus forming a flat base allowing the load to be distributed over a large area.
  • the whole of the supporting structure consists of prefabricated elements which can be economically and in the best safety conditions, in a factory specially equipped prefabrication or in a fairground workshop installed near the structure when this is important. It is thus possible to rigorously control the conditions of manufacturing and, in particular, the composition of the concrete and its water content, the positioning of reinforcement and surface quality after formwork removal. We can even, in some cases, use concrete high performance.
  • prefabricated elements reduces their thickness in relation to their span and, by Therefore, lighten them. Even for large prefabricated elements can therefore be handled and put in place by lifting devices usually available on a construction site.
  • the embankment contributes to the resistance of the whole.
  • the elements can be particularly thin and that we can achieve the reinforcement with great precision, the elements have flexibility and may yield slightly when the structure supports the embankment and overloads, which reduces the forces applied to the key, the structure resting laterally on the embankment.
  • embankment likely to withstand lateral forces. It's the especially in urban areas when the structure passes close to constructions existing, for example, foundations or cellars of a building, or a sewer. In addition, in a tight space, it may be necessary to do pass pipes near the structure and we can therefore be brought, for maintenance or replacement, to reopen the embankment.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy such disadvantages thanks to a new embodiment such a work to avoid the realization a side embankment capable of withstanding forces in particular in urban areas and in in all or all of the lane part, above the level of the natural terrain.
  • Each upper element can advantageously be provided, along at least one side lateral placed on the outside of the structure, rigid veil extending upward for support stable with minimum backfill thickness above of the top element.
  • the invention therefore constitutes an extension of the known technique for making tubular structures which has many advantages and allows adapt to particular situations.
  • the invention also remedies such disadvantages in ensuring in better conditions, the protection of the environment along the entire length of the circulation.
  • the structure can be produced, at least in part above the level of the natural terrain.
  • This one is first covered with a first embankment having a platform-shaped upper part for constitute the laying surface and, after laying the elements, the whole structure and the first embankment supporting it is covered with a second embankment which connects to the natural ground on both sides and else of the structure so as to form a hill artificial, the flattened base of the structure having a width determined according to the capacity bearing of the first embankment so as to transmit to this the charges applied without risk of excessive compaction.
  • FIG 1 there is shown schematically, in longitudinal section, part a traffic lane produced according to the invention on relatively uneven terrain whose profile long is indicated by line 10 which corresponds so at the cross section of natural terrain 1 by a plane vertical P passing through the longitudinal axis of the track traffic.
  • This is provided on a platform To which includes a part 11 located below natural ground level and part 12 lying on top of it.
  • part 11 of the platform A is cut in the bottom of a trench B while part 12 is formed on the top of a embankment C.
  • platform A constituting the traffic lane is covered with classic way, of a tubular structure D constituting an underground passage which is first made in the sky opened, then buried under an E embankment to restore level 14 of the natural terrain.
  • Such a provision is particularly advantageous for bypassing urban areas because it ensures perfect insulation and restore the environment, the E embankment can be planted.
  • the tubular wall D is consisting of successive sections placed end to end and each comprising, in cross section, at minus three elements, respectively one element curved upper 21 resting on two sides side 22, 22 'each provided with a flat base their allowing to be posed while standing straight on the ground.
  • the internal sides of the bases of the two legs can be connected, by longitudinal joints concreted, to a fourth element forming a raft.
  • the whole load applied to the tubular wall is passed to a base of very big surface.
  • each side pedestal 22, 22 includes then an enlarged base 23 having two wings, respectively internal and external, which give the element a sufficient seat surface, and a side wall 24 having an upper part 25, curved inward, which connects tangentially to the upper element 21 so that the whole forms, in cross section, a vault substantially semicircular centered on an axis longitudinal 0.
  • the longitudinal joints 26 between the upper element 21 and the upper edges of the two lateral pedestals 22, 22 ′ are constituted by joints centered on planes P1, P'1, in which are placed the centers of curvature of upper element 21 and upper parts 25 of the sides 22, 22 '.
  • these joints are inclined at 45 ° to the vertical.
  • the charges applied to the upper element 21 are transmitted tangentially to the two lateral pedestals 22, 22 '.
  • the latter are supported on the ground by their base 23 but, due to the flexibility of the structure and of the use of articulated joints 26, the element higher 21 tends to bend slightly in spreading the side walls 22, 22 'which also flex and lean laterally on the embankment E. This must therefore be carried out special way to participate in the resistance of the whole structure by taking the thrusts lateral applied by the two legs 22, 22 '.
  • each pedestal element 32 is provided with a rib stiffening 37 placed on the outside of the wall 34 and extending between the base 33 and the seal upper 36. The pedestal 32 thus stiffened can therefore transmit the loads in one direction substantially vertical, without lateral support on the embankment 5.
  • Such an embodiment of the sides side is particularly advantageous in the case shown in Figure 1, from natural terrain relatively rough.
  • the tubular structure 2 is extended by a structure of the same nature 3 which is shown in Figure 3, this being a section transverse, along line III-III of Figure 1.
  • FIG. 4 which is a view in perspective of the whole, we have represented, for simplify, a single section of the tubular structure 3 which comprises, in cross section with the axis O, at minus three elements, respectively one element upper curved 31 resting on two sidewalls side 32, 32 'along longitudinal joints 36.
  • These prefabricated wall elements have, preferably exactly the same profile as the elements 21, 22, 22 'of structure 2 and are therefore placed in the extension of these.
  • Longitudinal joints 36 are therefore placed in line with the joints longitudinal 26 of structure 2 and constitute, from even, joints giving the structure a relative flexibility.
  • each pedestal 32 is provided with a base 33 resting on the platform 12.
  • the whole is covered with a second embankment 5, the surface 50 gradually connects to the ground natural 1 and at the surface 14 of the embankment E, so as to make an artificial hill which can advantageously be planted to restore a aesthetic environment.
  • each pedestal lateral 32, 32 ' preferably includes a base widened 33 and a curved side wall 34 which tangentially connects to the upper element 31.
  • the upper elements 31 and the sides 32 have the same profile as similar elements 21, 22 of the structure 2 and can therefore be poured on the same molds, these being slightly modified to make the stiffening ribs 37.
  • the width of the base 33 of each pedestal 32 must be determined taking into account the capacity bearing of the first embankment 4 which risks being lower than that of the platform 11 arranged in the bottom of trench B, i.e. on the ground natural.
  • each element can be placed lengthwise on a trailer.
  • the structure according to the invention is particularly suitable for such a situation.
  • the use of prefabricated legs supported on a sole very wide and on which the element rests higher through a joint longitudinal allows to resist particularly well differential settlements which may result from such asymmetrical support.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown, as example, a structure with two arches of the type described in document EP-A-0.202.256, published as WO-A-8602967, which is particularly suitable for highway construction and includes at least two traffic lanes S1, S2 on either side of a central pedestal 63 on which rest two upper elements, respectively 64, 64 ', which are supported outwards, each on a lateral pedestal, respectively 65 on the upstream side and 65 'on the downstream side.
  • the embankment 5 which covers all of the structure and connects to the natural terrain of the shown in Figure 6, is asymmetrical, but this does not affect the stability of the structure, the loads being transmitted vertically by legs 65, 65 ', made rigid by the ribs 37.
  • Figures 3 and 6 show another improvement of the invention.
  • the second embankment 5 which is provided over the first embankment 4 may be subject to slipping and it is why it is advantageous, as shown on the Figure 3, to provide on the lateral side of each upper element 31, a concrete veil 38 which extends upward to retain the top 51 of the embankment covering the structure. So, this one is always covered with a sort of earth cap whose weight increases the stability of the whole and which is not likely to collapse if the downstream part 52 of embankment 5 tends to slip.
  • the retaining veil 38 is perpendicular to the lateral side of the wall element 31 and, therefore, parallel to the joint plane P1.
  • each upper element 64, 64 ' is fitted with a retaining veil 38 only on its external side resting on a lateral pedestal 65, 65 ', the internal sides of the two elements 64, 64' resting symmetrically on the central pedestal 63.
  • This advantage is particularly interesting in an urban site because it frees up space for each side of the book. Such pits can therefore advantageously be used, even for a structure carried out, in a conventional manner, on the bottom of a trench.
  • the part of the embankment between the upstream pedestal 65 and slope 16 can be realized so as to collect the lateral thrusts.
  • the pedestal 65 could therefore have been made without a rib, as a pedestal 22 of structure 2.
  • Figure 7 shows another example of construction of a structure with two traffic lanes in the case of an oblique exit in a ground natural tilted. It can then be interesting first stop section S'2 of the book se finding on the downstream side and extending for a some time the section S'1 being on the upstream side and which is alone covered with a slope 51 '. This one is advantageously stopped by an inclined veil 38a formed on the side facing the slope of the element upper 66 which rests on the central pedestal 63 '.
  • the latter can consist of a solid wall or a row of pillars surmounted by a sill and comprising, on the upstream side, a single support member 36 for the upper element 66 covering the section S'1.
  • each element of 65 'pedestal closing the S'2 section outwards may be provided at its upper end with a inclined face 39 having the same orientation as the sail 38 'associated with the upper element 64' so as to constitute a bearing face of said web 38 '.
  • slope 51 can be stopped at the level of the veil 38 ′, the lower part 52 of the embankment 5 being removed.
  • the structure is made up, like structure 2 of figure 2, of sections successive each comprising a top element 21 resting on two side pedestals 22, 22 'which can take lateral support on the embankment E covering the work.
  • the embankment E which has been removed in figure 9, is limited by an embankment inclined E 'whose edge, along the structure is indicated in phantom.
  • the side walls 72, 72 'of the last section 71 are extended by low walls prefabricated 73, 74 having the same inclination as the slope, for maintaining the land.
  • the adjacent corners 72a, 72b of the last two sections are then provided with ribs 37 while, from the other side, only the 72'a extreme pedestal is ribbed, the pedestal 72'b of the penultimate section supported by a slope of sufficient height to absorb the thrust and being, therefore, identical to the current pedestal 22 '.
  • the legs were sized and scrapped so as to present some flexibility by leaning laterally on the embankment.
  • all of the applied load is transmitted by the pedestal on its sole and it results, for the same section of passage, an increase in the constraints of compression applied to concrete. Therefore, for do not have to increase the wall thickness side and therefore the weight of the sides can be interesting to realize the elements in one high performance concrete with resistance to significantly increased compression.
