Definitions

  • the invention relates to a curb element for bounding edges in pavement.
  • the known curb elements such as used in paving for straight and curved curbstones, for enclosing corners, for tree circle and driveways, are designed in concrete.
  • Concrete has a density of 2,000 to 2,300 kg/m 3 and, with the standard lengths of 750 cm to 100 cm for this type of curb element, weights of over 50 kg running up to approximately 120 kg are quite frequent.
  • Arbo 5.3 “Lifting on the building site", which has come into effect in the Netherlands, it is laid down that one person is allowed to lift at most 25 kg and two persons at most 50 kg.
  • the invention provides a curb element for bounding edges in pavement, formed as an oblong, substantially rectangular spatial polyhedron, which curb element is equipped with a substantially closed elongated top face, at least one substantially closed elongated frontal face, the element being designed in a first material with a first density, of which the top face and frontal face form part, while internally of the top face and frontal face, a space is recessed which extends substantially parallel to the top face and frontal face.
  • the solution sought by the invention provides for the making of lightweight curbs by partially replacing the concrete of which the curb is made with a lighter material, such as, for instance, expanded polystyrene (EPS). More particularly, the invention provides curb elements with one or more of the features defined in the claims.
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • the invention can also be advantageously used in the form of an open surfacing such as concrete paving bricks and concrete tiles.
  • the invention further provides a method for forming a curb element having one or more of the abovementioned features, wherein a preformed element, by means of lost spacing elements, is positioned in a mold before concrete is cast or poured therein.
  • the EPS can be covered in advance with paper or environmentally friendly foil or yet another environmentally friendly covering such as starch or the like. This prevents strong adhesion to the concrete so that separation upon recycling is easier.
  • Fig. 1 shows a curbstone 1 of a conventional model, which can be of the 180/200 or 130/150-type. This indication refers to the width of, each time, the top face 3 and the bottom surface 5 in millimetres.
  • Such curbstones are usually provided in different heights, such as 160, 200 or 250 mm.
  • These types of curbstones have a standard length of 1,000 mm and are provided at a first end face 7 with a continuous groove 9.
  • a continuous tongue 13 is provided designed to be coupled to a groove 9 of a contiguous curbstone.
  • curbs on the top face 3 and on a top part 17 of the frontal face 15 with a wear layer of a few millimetres of basalt or porphyry, provided or not provided with quartz.
  • the conventional curbs of this type when designed in concrete, have a weight that can vary from 50 to 120 kg.
  • the curbstone 1, designed according to the invention is distinguished from the existing curbstones in that it further has a core 19, which is included in a recessed space and which is formed from a material with a considerably lower density than the concrete material of which only the outside 21 is made.
  • a suitable material for the core 19 inter alia, cellular concrete (also called aerated concrete or foamed concrete) with a density of between 25 and 75% of that of solid concrete can be considered.
  • Another possibly suitable material is a composite of concrete and polystyrene granules with a density of 10 to 25% of that of solid concrete.
  • a particularly suitable material for the core 19 is formed by expanded polystyrene (PES), which has a density of only between 0.5 and 4% of that of concrete.
  • the elements corresponding to Fig. 1 are numbered with an index "A".
  • the curbstone 1A in Fig. 2 has a closed first end face 7A and a similar closed second end face 11A.
  • the recessed space for the core material 19A is enclosed all around not only in transverse direction but also completely enclosed in longitudinal direction.
  • the groove 9A and the tongue 13A extend completely in the material of the concrete covering 21A and thus offer even more resistance against damage during placement. This can offer advantages in particular when the grooves 9A and the tongues 13A of successive curbs 1A are placed against each other.
  • Fig. 3 is shown an alternative embodiment of a core 19B from expanded polystyrene (EPS) which can be used for embodiments such as those in Figs. 1 and 2 .
  • the core 19B has an elongated form with a top face 31, a front longitudinal wall 33 and first and second ends 35, 37.
  • the front longitudinal wall 33 may have been subdivided into a top and bottom part 39, 41 according to the contours of the frontal face 15, 15A of the concrete covering ( Fig. 1 and 2 ), but this is not required.
  • the core 19B is provided with recesses 43 in the front wall 33 and recesses 45 in a rear longitudinal wall 47. These recesses 43, 45 provide the front and rear walls 33, 47 with a profile.
  • the starting point was a more or less equal circumferential thickness of the concrete covering.
  • the top face 3, 3A and the frontal face 15, 15A always have the greatest resistance against impact loads.
  • the wall thickness of the concrete covering for these surfaces can be chosen to be greater than that on the rear and bottom side of the curb.
  • the core 19, 19A can then be positioned off-center.
  • the curb element 1B is provided with an internal hollow space 51, separated from the outside 21B by a tube element 53 from polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the hollow space 51 effects, in particular, the saving of weight, while the limited amount of PVC material with a relatively low density also adds less weight than the concrete covering 21B.
  • a round PVC tube 53 results in additional concrete in the transition from the top face 3B to the frontal face 15B. This, in turn, is favourable for the impact load the curbstones can be subject to.
  • the hollow space 51 can be utilized as drainage canal or as cable duct for electric supply facilities. It is also conceivable that, by contrast, the hollow space 51 is still filled up with concrete after placement.
  • FIG. 5 shows a curb element 1C with the top face 3C and the frontal face 15C designed in concrete as thick-walled as possible.
  • a part of the curb element 1C is formed by a second filler material 19C which forms part of the undersurface 5C and a rear surface 6C.
  • curbstones with an external shape as shown in Figs. 1 , 2 , 4 and 5 are often poured upside down in molds so that the molds are self-releasing.
  • lost spacing elements can be used.
  • Such spacing element can be of the type already in use for keeping rebars at a distance from the outside. Suitable spacing elements to this end are supplied by, inter alia, Stoker Beton BV at 't Harde, the Netherlands.
  • the lightweight curbs according to the invention can be made distinguishable from the conventional, non-lightweight curb elements.
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • the EPS is placed in the mold as prefab element and may be provided with spacing elements (in the form of concrete cubes).
  • EPS is available in many compression strengths and is nowadays of high grade quality. Pouring may take place in a traditional manner with dry concrete mortar and vibration or by means of casting molds and self-compacting concrete (high-flow concrete). This latter can be done in plastic molds that are less expensive than steel molds.
  • the used polystyrene material also offers advantages in recycling. It is for instance possible to protect the EPS material from adhering too strongly to the concrete by means of a nature-friendly paper or foil covering or an anti-adhesive layer such as starch. Separating the polystyrene as completely as possible upon recycling is thus simplified even further.
  • the method already in use for recycling completely concrete curbs in a breaker can also be applied to the lightweight curbs according to the invention. After breaking, the broken material can be fed through a water bath after which the polystyrene material floats to the surface. Separate discharge can thereupon take place using a sieve or the like. As a rule, the broken concrete is reused as foundation material in road construction or as aggregate in new concrete products.
  • the polystyrene material can also be reused in insulation, or as filler material in new products.
  • the invention can be equally advantageously utilized with bend curbstones which, as bend segments of for instance 15 degrees, can have a curvature with radii of less than one meter to 15 meters or more. These elements too have an important weight advantage when use is made of the present invention.
  • bend curbs, full bends, tree circle curbs and special driveway curbs can advantageously be used. This also holds for almost all other curb elements for bounding edges in pavements such as confining curbs or RWS curbs for roadway separation.
  • the invention is not limited either to the model of curbstone shown here, and also models according to the German standard DIN 483 or the European standard EN 1340 can make use of the invention.
  • the invention can also be advantageously used in the form of an open surfacing such as concrete paving bricks and concrete tiles.
  • the filling of lightweight material can be covered with, for instance, Epoxy or Polyurea or the like.
  • the advantages of the invention are not restricted to the working conditions, but the lower weight also provides a cost saving in transport and in the use of raw materials.
