Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the construction of facing structures for civil engineering works.
  • facings consisting of wire mesh panels, with stones retained and left apparent by the wire mesh panels.
  • This type of facing is appreciated because of its relatively light weight and of its aesthetics. It can also be adapted to allow the growth of vegetation on the facing.
  • This sort of wire mesh facing is applicable to retaining walls.
  • a fill made of earth, sand, rocks or another granular material is stabilized by reinforcements which extend within the fill volume. Some of the reinforcements are connected to the facing which prevents the fill material from falling apart.
  • JP2000-204573 discloses foldable cell elements usable to construct retaining walls and having front and rear faces made of wire mesh panels connected together by articulated connecting rods.
  • the stepped facing is used to cover a pre-existing, self-supporting foundation base, rather than stabilized soil which has to be retained by the facing. In such a case, it is generally not possible to connect the facing elements to reinforcements extending into the underlying base.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome that difficulty.
  • the support members are used to hang the stepped facing structure to the sloped base.
  • the plurality of anchoring locations allow a distribution of the load along the slope. They can also be used to transport materials up or down during the construction work.
  • the support members can be in the form of ladders applied against the foundation base and attached by means of bolts or other types of connectors.
  • the method makes it possible to easily erect a stepped facing wall even where the sloped underlying surface is hard and smooth.
  • Another aspect of the present invention relates to a construction work as defined in claim 5, with embodiments of the construction work set out in claims 6-15.
  • Figure 1 shows a construction work which can be erected in accordance with the invention.
  • the base to be covered is not made of stabilized soil or the like, but consists of a hard concrete foundation 1.
  • the foundation base 1 has a sloped upper surface 2 to be covered by a facing made of stones and wire mesh panels.
  • the facing has a stepped configuration, which gives a special appearance to the overall structure. It also provides horizontal terraces 3 along the facing, where trees or other plants 4 can be grown for ornamental purposes. Recesses 5 are provided in the stone fill on such terraces 3 for receiving earth or soil material enabling plants to be grown.
  • the first step consists in attaching support members 6 to the foundation base 1 ( figure 2 ).
  • the attachment can be made by means of bolts 7 distributed on the surface 2 of the base. The quantity and dimensions of the bolts are calculated to withstand the weight of the facing once completed.
  • the support members 6 applied against the base surface 2 define a number of anchoring locations that will be used to position and hold the facing elements.
  • the support members 6 are in the form of ladders. Each has a pair of uprights 8 and a series of transverse rods 9 fixed to the two uprights 8. Each ladder-shaped member is positioned on the base 1 with its uprights 8 laid along the upward direction of the sloped surface 2, so as to cover substantially the whole height of the base. Hence, the transverse rods 9 define the anchoring locations spaced along the upward direction of the sloped surface. Ladder members 6 are placed parallel to each other along the horizontal direction, with a typical mutual spacing of one or a few meters.
  • the ladder-shaped support members 6 are usable to transport loads up or down the sloped surface.
  • transverse rods 9 of a support member 6 receive hooked ends of connecting members 10, 11 a, 12a which can be put in place as soon as the support member 6 has been attached to the sloped surface 2, as shown in figure 2 , or later.
  • the lower ends of the ladder uprights 8 are bent in the form of hooks 15 ( figure 2 ).
  • the hooks 5 receive the lower edge of the lower wire mesh facing panel 16, as shown in figure 4 .
  • the lowest connecting member 10 hanged to the ladder rods 9 is lifted and its end remote from the rod 9, which is also bent, is hooked around one of the wires of the raised mesh panel 16.
  • the connecting member 10 thus forms an elongated link which holds the wire mesh panel 16 in a vertical position as the stone fill 20 is poured between the panel 16 and the sloped surface 2.
  • Wire mesh partitions are arranged parallel to the plane of figures 4-6 to delimit laterally the volume receiving the stone fill 20.
  • the first step of the facing is completed by positioning another wire mesh panel 11 b horizontally over the upper level of the fill.
  • the front end of the panel 11 b is bent in order to hook around the upper edge of the vertical panel.
  • the panel 11 b is lowered as indicated by the arrow in figure 4 .
  • the cover panel 11 b is made from high tensile strength wire mesh in order to create a stable base for the next row of facing panels.
  • the second step of the facing has a vertical front panel 17 which belongs to an L-shaped wire mesh element which also has a base portion 18 folded perpendicularly to be laid on the upper side 11 b of the underlying step.
  • a stiffener link 19 is connected to the base portion 18 and the front panel 17 to maintain the 90° angle between them.
  • the next connecting member 12a is lowered and another connecting member is installed with a hooked-end gripping the wire mesh of the raised panel 17 and an opposite end joined to the free end of the connecting member 12a.
  • These two connecting members are then welded together to form an elongated link 12 having the suitable length as shown in figure 5 .
  • Several such links 12 are made along the structure, and lateral partitions (not shown) are installed.
  • the stone fill of the second step can be introduced. Once the appropriate fill level is reached, the upper panel 11 of the step can be brought, assembled and fixed as described with reference to figure 4 .
  • each facing panel 16, 17 stabilizes it during the installation of the stones.
  • the additional cover connection 11 at the top of the facing panel minimizes the deformation of the structure while the next step is being built.
  • the above-described process of erecting a facing step can be iterated up to the upper level of the wall.
  • intermediate steps 21 can be added between the thus formed main steps as shown in figure 1 .
  • Such intermediate steps 21 can be made by assembling wire mesh panels in the corners between adjacent steps, or by installing prefabricated wire mesh boxes (gabions).
  • such intermediate steps 21 have a reduced length perpendicularly to the plane of figure 1 (e.g. between 1 and 2 meters), and are used to provide stairs for allowing maintenance personnel to easily climb up or down the structure.
  • a remarkable feature of the above-described process of erecting the facing steps is that it is very easy to modulate the width of the terraces 3 between adjacent steps.
  • Such terrace width modulation can be required by the architect. It suffices that the links 11, 12 held at anchoring locations at a common vertical level have a variable length along the work, i.e. in the direction perpendicular to the plane of figures 4-6 .
  • the process is very flexible regarding the position of the individual steps.
  • the width of the terraces can be varied at will to accommodate the wishes of the architect of the structure.
  • the facing panel 17 is designed so that it can be put in place in various positions on top of the underlying cover element 11 b.
  • Figure 6 illustrates how a recess 5 filled with soil material 25 can be provided on a terrace 3 between two adjacent steps.
  • the step where the recess is made is prepared as indicated previously, by installing the L-shaped wire mesh element comprising the front panel 17, assembling elongated links 12, and pouring stones 20.
  • the fill is introduced up to the top of the step, leaving a ditch to form recess 5.
  • a wire mesh edge element 26 is hooked to the upper edge of the front panel 17.
  • the edge element 26 has a bent shape as shown in the cross-sectional view of figure 6 , so that its front part defines the edge of the terrace 3 and is bent rear part forms the front wall of the recess 5.
  • the L-shaped wire mesh element 17-18 for the next step, with its stiffeners 19, is laid on the current upper level of the fill, whereby the bottom of the next facing panel 17 defines the rear wall of the recess 5. Additional stones are introduced to maintain the new L-shaped element 17-18 in place. It is possible to fold back one or more of the next connecting members 12a and to assemble them to form elongated links for holding the next facing panel 17 while more stones are introduced.
  • a geotextile liner 27 is placed into the recess 5 before it is filled with the soil material 25.
  • the liner 27 separates the soil material 25 from the stones 20. It prevents the soil material from leaking through the stones while allowing the flow of water.
