Description

"Elément de construction et mur de soutènement l'intégrant" "Building element and retaining wall integrating it"
La présente invention concerne un élément de construction pour la réalisation de mur de soutènement.The present invention relates to a building element for producing a retaining wall.
Elle concerne également un mur de soutènement composé à partir d'une pluralité d'éléments de construction.It also relates to a retaining wall composed from a plurality of construction elements.
L'invention trouvera particulièrement son application dans le domaine du bâtiment pour la réalisation d'ouvrages divers. Notamment, elle permettra la construction de murs de soutènement constitutif d'écrans verticaux notamment antiphoniques et éventuellement végétalisable.The invention will particularly find its application in the building field for the realization of various works. In particular, it will allow the construction of retaining walls constituting vertical screens, in particular antiphonic and possibly vegetable.
D'une façon générale, toute réalisation de parois verticales associant plusieurs éléments unitaires fait partie intégrante du domaine d'application de l'invention.In general, any realization of vertical walls associating several unitary elements forms an integral part of the field of application of the invention.
Il est en effet connu d'associer plusieurs éléments superposables et juxtaposables afin de constituer des murs. Il est avantageux de pouvoir faire coopérer de façon modulaire les éléments constitutifs pour adapter la configuration de l'ouvrage selon les nécessités ou les souhaits du client.It is indeed known to combine several superimposable and juxtaposable elements in order to constitute walls. It is advantageous to be able to cooperate in a modular manner the constituent elements to adapt the configuration of the structure according to the needs or wishes of the client.
Dans ce domaine, on connaît du document FR-A-2.589.910 un ensemble de trois éléments distincts et séparés, l'un central et deux latéraux cylindriques rapportés autour de l'élément central.In this area, document FR-A-2,589,910 discloses a set of three distinct and separate elements, one central and two cylindrical sides attached around the central element.
Plusieurs combinaisons de disposition de ces trois éléments sont possibles suivant leur agencement.Several combinations of arrangement of these three elements are possible depending on their arrangement.
Cependant, la technique proposée dans le document précité est très différente de celle de la présente invention et comporte de nombreux inconvénients.However, the technique proposed in the aforementioned document is very different from that of the present invention and has many drawbacks.
Ainsi, le nombre de formes possibles par association des trois éléments est limité car l'élément central est entièrement concave.Thus, the number of possible forms by association of the three elements is limited because the central element is entirely concave.
Qui plus est, les trois éléments constitutifs de l'ensemble sont distincts et l'ouvrage doit être complété par une armature (un renforcement en béton).What is more, the three constituent elements of the whole are distinct and the structure must be completed by a reinforcement (a concrete reinforcement).
La superposition de ces ensembles pose également différents inconvénients.The superposition of these sets also poses various drawbacks.
Ainsi, la surface de contact béton sur béton des éléments est peu élevée.Thus, the concrete-to-concrete contact surface of the elements is low.
Par conséquent, les efforts repris verticalement par les éléments le sont sur une faible surface ce qui rend les concentrations de contraintes particulièrement importantes.Consequently, the forces taken up vertically by the elements are taken up over a small area, which makes the stress concentrations particularly high.
Qui plus est, le fruit minimal autorisé par ce type de construction est élevé ce qui est susceptible d'engendrer des mouvements du remblai qui le supporte.What is more, the minimum fruit authorized by this type of construction is high, which is likely to generate movements of the embankment that supports it.
La présente invention permet de remédier aux inconvénients des techniques actuelles telles que précitées. L'un de ses premiers objets est de proposer une très grande modularité des éléments.The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of current techniques as mentioned above. One of its first objects is to offer a very large modularity of the elements.
Ainsi, de multiples configurations sont autorisées particulièrement par la complémentarité de parois concaves et de parois convexes qui sont associables de multiples façons. A titre d'exemple, on peut associer une paroi convexe de la partie centrale avec une paroi concave d'un élément latéral ou encore associer la partie convexe d'un élément latéral avec celle concave d'un autre élément latéral.Thus, multiple configurations are authorized in particular by the complementarity of concave walls and convex walls which can be combined in multiple ways. By way of example, it is possible to associate a convex wall of the central part with a concave wall of a lateral element or else to associate the convex part of a lateral element with that concave of another lateral element.
Ces exemples ne sont pas limitatifs mais montrent la multiplicité des coopérations possibles entre plusieurs éléments selon l'invention. Cette association d'éléments et leur superposition ne nécessitent pas systématiquement le recours à des renforts d'armatures.These examples are not limiting but show the multiplicity of possible cooperation between several elements according to the invention. This combination of elements and their superposition does not systematically require the use of reinforcements of reinforcements.
On comprend donc que l'invention permet de réaliser des murs de soutènement de façon plus rapide et moins coûteuse que selon les techniques actuelles.It is therefore understood that the invention makes it possible to produce retaining walls more quickly and less costly than according to current techniques.
Un autre avantage de l'invention est de permettre la réalisation d'éléments d'un seul tenant mais cependant évolutifs car composés de plusieurs parties sécables.Another advantage of the invention is to allow the production of elements in one piece but however scalable because composed of several breakable parts.
Qui plus est, la surface de contact béton sur béton de plusieurs éléments superposés est importante ce qui limite les concentrations de contrainte.What is more, the concrete-to-concrete contact surface of several superimposed elements is large, which limits the stress concentrations.
Un autre avantage de l'invention est de permettre la végétalisation de certaines parties de l'élément afin d'améliorer l'aspect extérieur du mur réalisé.Another advantage of the invention is to allow the revegetation of certain parts of the element in order to improve the external appearance of the wall produced.
D'autres buts et avantages apparaîtront au cours de la description qui suit qui présente un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention sans pour autant en être limitative.Other objects and advantages will appear during the description which follows which presents a preferred embodiment of the invention without being limiting thereto.
La présente invention concerne un élément de construction pour la réalisation de murs de soutènement, comprenant une partie centrale et deux éléments latéraux et dont la disposition peut être modulée pour réaliser plusieurs configurations d'ouvrage, caractérisé par le fait que 1° la partie centrale comporte quatre parois latérales dont deux, adjacentes, ont un même profil concave et les deux autres ont un même profil convexe complémentaire dudit profil concave ;The present invention relates to a construction element for the production of retaining walls, comprising a central part and two lateral elements and the arrangement of which can be modulated to achieve several configurations of work, characterized in that 1 ° the central part comprises four side walls, two of which are adjacent, have the same concave profile and the other two have the same convex profile complementary to said concave profile;
2° un premier élément latéral borde l'une des parois à profil convexe de la partie centrale et présente une paroi opposée à la partie centrale avec le même profil convexe ;2 ° a first lateral element borders one of the walls with a convex profile of the central part and has a wall opposite the central part with the same convex profile;
3° le second élément latéral borde la paroi à profil concave de la partie centrale située à l'opposé du premier élément latéral et présente une paroi opposée à la partie centrale avec le même profil concave.3 ° the second lateral element borders the wall with concave profile of the central part located opposite the first lateral element and has a wall opposite to the central part with the same concave profile.
Cet élément pourra se présenter suivant les variantes énoncées ci-après : - les premier et second éléments latéraux ont une même longueur, égale à la moitié de celle de la partie centrale,This element may be presented according to the variants set out below: - the first and second lateral elements have the same length, equal to half that of the central part,
- la partie centrale et les éléments latéraux sont constitués d'un seul tenant et les éléments latéraux sont sécables,- the central part and the lateral elements are made in one piece and the lateral elements are divisible,
- la partie centrale comporte une cloison la divisant en deux alvéoles ; - la cloison est orientée transversalement à la longueur de l'élément de construction ;- The central part has a partition dividing it into two cells; - the partition is oriented transversely to the length of the building element;
- la cloison divise la partie centrale en deux alvéoles de même longueur ;- the partition divides the central part into two cells of the same length;
- les parois longitudinales des éléments latéraux ont un profil rectiligne ; - il présente, sur au moins une partie de son pourtour, des rainures verticales ;- The longitudinal walls of the side elements have a straight profile; - It has, on at least part of its periphery, vertical grooves;
L'invention concerne également un mur de soutènement composé à partir d'une pluralité d'éléments de construction, caractérisé par le fait qu'il est composé d'éléments de construction, lesdits éléments étant organisés en plusieurs niveaux de superposition, et que les éléments constitutifs d'un même niveau sont juxtaposés par coopération d'une paroi à profil concave d'un élément avec une paroi à profil convexe de l'élément adjacent.The invention also relates to a retaining wall composed from a plurality of construction elements, characterized in that it is composed of construction elements, said elements being organized in several levels of superposition, and that the constituent elements of the same level are juxtaposed by cooperation of a wall with a concave profile of an element with a wall with a convex profile of the adjacent element.
Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs. Ils représentent des modes de réalisation préférés selon l'invention. Ils permettront de comprendre aisément l'invention.The attached drawings are given as indicative and non-limiting examples. They represent preferred embodiments according to the invention. They will allow the invention to be easily understood.
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de construction selon l'invention dans un mode de réalisation préféré.Figure 1 is a perspective view of a building element according to the invention in a preferred embodiment.
La figure 2 est une vue de dessus d'un tel élément de construction.Figure 2 is a top view of such a building element.
La figure 3 en montre une possibilité de réalisation avec des parties sécables.Figure 3 shows a possible embodiment with breakable parts.
Les figures 4 à 9 illustrent en vue de dessus ou de dessous différents modes d'assemblage d'éléments de construction selon l'invention pour réaliser un mur de soutènement.Figures 4 to 9 illustrate a top or bottom view of different methods of assembling construction elements according to the invention for producing a retaining wall.
Les figures 10, 11 et 12 illustrent deux murs de soutènement en perspective selon deux modes de réalisation préférés.Figures 10, 11 and 12 illustrate two retaining walls in perspective according to two preferred embodiments.
En se référant à la figure 1 , l'élément de construction 1 comporte une partie centrale repérée 2 et deux éléments latéraux 3, 4 situés de part et d'autre de la partie centrale 2.Referring to FIG. 1, the construction element 1 comprises a central part marked 2 and two lateral elements 3, 4 located on either side of the central part 2.
Pour la suite de la description, on appelle sens longitudinal ou longueur de l'élément de construction 1 la direction définie par l'axe longitudinal 14 en figure 2.For the remainder of the description, the direction defined by the longitudinal axis 14 in FIG. 2 is called the longitudinal direction or the length of the construction element 1.
C'est suivant cette direction que s'orientent, de part et d'autre de la partie centrale 2, les éléments latéraux 3, 4.It is in this direction that the lateral elements 3, 4 are oriented on either side of the central part 2.
De façon préférée et de manière courante, l'élément de construction est réalisé en béton. La partie centrale 2 et les éléments latéraux 3, 4 comprennent une pluralité de parois verticales mais pas nécessairement de fond.Preferably and commonly, the building element is made of concrete. The central part 2 and the lateral elements 3, 4 comprise a plurality of vertical walls but not necessarily at the bottom.
De cette façon, on peut utiliser l'élément de construction dans un sens ou retourné, ce qui permet de multiples configurations. La direction verticale est entendu par celle donnée en figure 1 par la flècheIn this way, the building element can be used in one direction or turned upside down, which allows multiple configurations. The vertical direction is understood by that given in figure 1 by the arrow
15.15.
Bien entendu, les termes longitudinal et vertical servent à repérer les trois dimensions de l'élément de construction selon l'invention en référence aux dessins sans pour autant être limitatifs de leur disposition finale lors de l'utilisation. En se référant à la figure 2, on constate que la partie centrale 2 comporte quatre parois latérales dont deux sont à profil convexe et deux à profil concave dont un exemple ressort en vue de dessus de la figure 2.Of course, the terms longitudinal and vertical are used to identify the three dimensions of the construction element according to the invention with reference to the drawings without however being limiting on their final arrangement during use. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the central part 2 has four side walls, two of which have a convex profile and two of which have a concave profile, an example of which is shown in top view of FIG. 2.
Selon l'invention, les profils concave et convexe sont complémentaires afin de permettre la coopération de parois à profils complémentaires. Par ailleurs, les quatre parois latérales sont telles que les deux à profil concave sont adjacentes tout comme les deux à profil convexe.According to the invention, the concave and convex profiles are complementary in order to allow the cooperation of walls with complementary profiles. Furthermore, the four side walls are such that the two with concave profile are adjacent just like the two with convex profile.
Comme représenté à droite de la partie centrale 2 en figure 2, un premier élément latéral 3 borde l'une des parois à profil convexe repéré 5 de la partie centrale 2. Du côté opposé à la bordure constituée par la paroi 5, l'élément latéral 3 présente une paroi 7 avec le même profil convexe.As shown to the right of the central part 2 in FIG. 2, a first lateral element 3 borders one of the walls with a convex profile marked 5 of the central part 2. On the side opposite to the border formed by the wall 5, the element lateral 3 has a wall 7 with the same convex profile.
De façon correspondante à gauche de la partie centrale 2, un second élément latéral 4 borde une paroi à profil concave 6 et comporte une paroi 8 opposée à la paroi 6 de forme concave. De façon avantageuse et tel qu'il ressort des différentes figures, la partie centrale 2 a une longueur égale au double de celle de chacun des éléments latéraux 3, 4 qui ont eux-mêmes une longueur identique.Correspondingly to the left of the central part 2, a second lateral element 4 borders a wall with a concave profile 6 and has a wall 8 opposite the wall 6 of concave shape. Advantageously and as it emerges from the various figures, the central part 2 has a length equal to twice that of each of the lateral elements 3, 4 which themselves have an identical length.
Cet exemple de choix particulier de longueur L1 , L2, L3 est repéré en figure 3 qui montre également un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les éléments latéraux 3, 4 sont sécables par rapport à la partie centrale 2.This example of particular choice of length L1, L2, L3 is identified in FIG. 3 which also shows a particular embodiment of the invention in which the lateral elements 3, 4 are breakable with respect to the central part 2.
On entend par là que la partie centrale 2 et les éléments latéraux 3, 4 sont constitués d'un seul tenant mais qu'il est possible, notamment par le biais d'une faiblesse linéaire verticale constituée à la jonction de la partie centrale et des éléments latéraux (par exemple par une rainure diminuant l'épaisseur de la paroi à ce niveau) de diviser l'élément de construction 1 en deux ou trois parties distinctes.By this is meant that the central part 2 and the lateral elements 3, 4 are made in one piece but that it is possible, in particular by means of a vertical linear weakness formed at the junction of the central part and the lateral elements (for example by a groove reducing the thickness of the wall at this level) to divide the construction element 1 into two or three separate parts.
Tel que visible en figure 2, la partie centrale 2 comporte par ailleurs préférentiellement une cloison 9 la divisant en deux alvéoles 10a, 10b. Par conséquent, l'élément de construction dans son ensemble comprend dans cette configuration quatre compartiments.As shown in Figure 2, the central part 2 also preferably comprises a partition 9 dividing it into two cells 10a, 10b. Therefore, the building element as a whole comprises in this configuration four compartments.
Cela permet notamment d'augmenter la surface de contact béton sur béton de deux éléments 1 superposés.This makes it possible in particular to increase the concrete-to-concrete contact surface by two superposed elements 1.
De façon préférée, la cloison 9 est située dans le sens transverse à la direction longitudinale 14 et coupe la partie centrale 2 en son milieu.Preferably, the partition 9 is located in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction 14 and cuts the central part 2 in the middle.
Toujours à titre préféré, les parois longitudinales 11a, 11 b, 12a, 12b des éléments latéraux 3, 4 ont un profil rectiligne.Still preferably, the longitudinal walls 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b of the side elements 3, 4 have a straight profile.
Par ailleurs, tel que visible également aux différentes figures et notamment en figure 1 , au moins une partie du pourtour de l'élément de construction 1 présente des rainures verticales 13.Furthermore, as also visible in the various figures and in particular in FIG. 1, at least part of the periphery of the construction element 1 has vertical grooves 13.
On a représenté aux figures 4 à 11 , différentes possibilités d'assemblage d'éléments de construction 1 selon l'invention en vue de constituer un mur de soutènement.There are shown in Figures 4 to 11, different possibilities of assembling building elements 1 according to the invention in order to constitute a retaining wall.
La figure 4 montre un assemblage des éléments 1 par l'une de leur paroi longitudinale, une paroi profil concave d'un élément 1 coopérant avec une paroi profil convexe de l'élément adjacent.Figure 4 shows an assembly of the elements 1 by one of their longitudinal wall, a concave profile wall of an element 1 cooperating with a convex profile wall of the adjacent element.
La figure 5 montre une coopération similaire mais avec une orientation différente des éléments de construction.Figure 5 shows a similar cooperation but with a different orientation of the building elements.
Cette orientation est possible par retournement des éléments de construction.This orientation is possible by inverting the construction elements.
De cette façon, on peut modifier l'aspect extérieur du mur à constituer qui peut apparaître soit sous forme d'éléments bombés juxtaposés, soit sous forme d'éléments rentrants juxtaposés. Un exemple de forme de mur avec les éléments bombés ressort de la figure 10. A l'inverse, la figure 12 montre un mur dont la face externe est réalisée par association de surfaces en creux constituées de parois à profil concave.In this way, the external appearance of the wall to be formed can be modified, which can appear either in the form of juxtaposed curved elements, or in the form of juxtaposed re-entrant elements. An example of a wall shape with the domed elements is shown in FIG. 10. Conversely, FIG. 12 shows a wall whose external face is produced by association of recessed surfaces made up of walls with concave profile.
La figure 6 montre quant à elle qu'il est possible de faire coopérer les éléments de construction 1 suivant leur sens long. A cet effet, la paroi à profil convexe 7 du premier élément latéral 3 d'un élément 1 coopère avec la paroi concave 8 d'un second élément latéral de l'élément de construction 1 adjacent.Figure 6 shows in turn that it is possible to cooperate the construction elements 1 in their long sense. To this end, the convex profile wall 7 of the first lateral element 3 of an element 1 cooperates with the concave wall 8 of a second lateral element of the adjacent building element 1.
La figure 7 illustre le cas où on exploite le caractère sécable des éléments latéraux 3, 4.FIG. 7 illustrates the case where the breakable nature of the lateral elements 3, 4 is exploited.
A cet effet, on a supprimé le deuxième élément latéral 4 de l'un des éléments de construction 1.To this end, the second lateral element 4 has been removed from one of the construction elements 1.
Par ailleurs, on a assemble cet élément de construction 1 avec un élément de construction adjacent de façon à ce qu'une paroi latérale convexe du premier élément de construction 1 coopère avec la paroi concave 8 du second élément latéral de l'élément de construction adjacent.Furthermore, this building element 1 has been assembled with an adjacent building element so that a convex side wall of the first building element 1 cooperates with the concave wall 8 of the second side element of the adjacent building element .
On comprend que ce mode de coopération utilise le rapport de dimension avantageux de l'invention dans lequel la partie centrale 2 est configurée de façon à ce que ses parois adjacentes concaves et convexes aient toutes la même dimension.It is understood that this mode of cooperation uses the advantageous dimension ratio of the invention in which the central part 2 is configured so that its adjacent concave and convex walls all have the same dimension.
Toujours à cette figure, on a représenté un troisième élément de construction 1 pour lequel, les deux éléments latéraux 3, 4 ont été supprimés. Ce dernier élément de construction 1 est rapporté sur l'élément de construction 1 précédent au moyen de sa paroi concave 6. Dans le cas de la figure 8, un élément de construction 1 est positionné de telle sorte que son axe longitudinal soit perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal des deux éléments de construction 1 qui lui sont adjacents.Still in this figure, there is shown a third construction element 1 for which the two lateral elements 3, 4 have been eliminated. The latter construction element 1 is attached to the preceding construction element 1 by means of its concave wall 6. In the case of FIG. 8, a construction element 1 is positioned so that its longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the two construction elements 1 which are adjacent to it.
De cette façon, l'élément de construction 1 central peut constituer une protubérance sur le mur de soutènement et permet éventuellement une végétalisation tel que cela ressort de la figure 11.In this way, the central building element 1 can constitute a protuberance on the retaining wall and optionally allows revegetation as shown in FIG. 11.
Cette figure montre en effet, qu'une des alvéoles constituée par le volume intérieur d'un des éléments latéraux 3, 4 peut servir de réceptacle à des végétaux.This figure shows, in fact, that one of the cells formed by the interior volume of one of the lateral elements 3, 4 can serve as a receptacle for plants.
La figure 9 montre encore une autre possibilité de coopération de divers éléments de construction 1 selon l'invention. Dans ce cadre, on alterne sur l'une des faces du mur les parties bombéesFigure 9 shows yet another possibility of cooperation of various construction elements 1 according to the invention. In this context, the curved parts are alternated on one of the faces of the wall
(constituées par des parois à profil convexe) et des parties en creux (constituées par des parois à profil concave). Bien entendu, les différentes variantes d'ouvrage illustrées ne sont données qu'à titre indicatif compte tenu que l'élément de construction 1 selon l'invention permet d'envisager de très nombreuses variantes également parties de l'invention. (formed by walls with a convex profile) and hollow parts (formed by walls with a concave profile). Of course, the various illustrated book variants are given for information only, given that the construction element 1 according to the invention makes it possible to envisage very numerous variants also parts of the invention.
