Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for realising a floating work and a floating work thus realised.
  • the object of the invention is especially applicable on water surfaces where because of the depth it would be impossible to build fixed structures.
  • the application of the system might be in natural or artificial lakes, or at sea water surfaces, or oceans, or rivers.
  • Tides but also lake levels between minimum and maximum (for example during rainy periods or droughts) can reach various metres in range.
  • one of the most common comprises predisposing one or more poles filled with reinforced concrete emerging from the bottom, in which they have been installed; the poles exhibit, at a top thereof, a hinging to a mobile arm constituted by a metal structure able to oscillate with respect to the column thanks to a hinging about a horizontal axis.
  • the other end of the metal structure is constrained to the floating work or construction (solidly by means of chains), and remains constrained to the bottom while being able to follow the variations in water surface level thanks to the mobility of the metal rod.
  • Floating quays at present in production can assume weights of various tens of tonnes, with lengths of tens of metres and more.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to obviate one or more of the above-evidenced drawbacks.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide an anchoring system which can simplify the laying operations and the maintenance of the work, while guaranteeing excellent characteristics of stability, even in the face of significant variations in the level of the water surface.
  • a further aim is to realise an anchoring system which tends to return the floating construction always into the right position, withstanding the wave motion and the force of the wind, while operating elastically with a breakwater.
  • An auxiliary objective is to provide a type of anchoring which can be differentiated zone by zone, as the stresses exerted on the floating construction can have varying parameters.
  • Another aim is to realise floating constructions of large dimensions while limiting the logistical problems connected with transport thereof.
  • a particular aim is to prevent laborious movement of the product by land or sea, as well as the laborious and costly operations of transferring the floating construction from the ground to the water environment, while guaranteeing realisability of structures having weights and dimensions that are substantially the same as or greater than those at present in use.
  • a final and general aim of the invention is to enable the various work operations to be performed using land-based, water-based and underwater-based means that are of modest entity.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for realising a floating work comprising following steps: predisposing a plurality of modules (101) exhibiting a shell (102) defining an internal cavity (103); inserting in the cavity (103) at least a filler body (104); positioning the modules in the water (101) side by side such as to define a sector (105) of a floating work; provisionally joining the modules (101) in the water; dropping a reinforcing material (106) at least at an upper zone (101a) of the modules, which at least a zone (101a) emerges from the water, such as to unremovably join the modules (101) to one another.
  • the method further comprises a step of mounting a reinforcement on the provisionally-joined modules (101) before performing the drop of reinforcing material (106).
  • the step of dropping is a dropping step of concrete, especially reinforced concrete, for example made of cement or resin, especially in a continuative progression, passing from a module (101) to another.
  • a fourth aspect comprises the sub-steps of realising a floor (107) located superiorly of the modules (101) and/or contemporaneously realising a predetermined number of beams (108) extending longitudinally substantially along the whole extension of the sector (105) of the floating work.
  • the step of inserting is a step of inserting one or more filler bodies (104) made of a foam material such as polystyrene, polyurethane, foam concrete.
  • a sixth aspect according to any one of the preceding aspects comprises the step of predisposing a plurality of modules (101) a shell (102) of which exhibits a base wall (109) having a greater thickness than that of the lateral walls (110), the lateral walls (110) being optionally clad with suitable cladding elements such as wood, stone, ceramic.
  • the provisional join comprises a sub-step of positioning a predetermined number of joint brackets (111) for constraining at least two successive module, the brackets (111) being in particular positioned at lower zones (101b) and lateral zones of the modules, optionally on both lateral walls (110), left and right, of the modules. wood, stone, ceramic.
  • 1 denotes in its entirety an anchoring structure in an advantageous embodiment thereof.
  • the floating work can be of a standard type, constituted by a plurality of modules appropriately constrained to one another before being placed in the water.
  • the floating work can be constituted by a plurality of modules 101, each defining an external shell 102 exhibiting an internal cavity 103.
  • the shell 102 exhibits a base wall 109, destined to be located inferiorly in use conditions of the module and for this reason immersed in water, with a greater thickness than the thickness of the lateral walls 110 which emerge vertically from the base.
  • the ratio between the thicknesses is linked to the dimensions of the module and is advantageously selectable in such a way as to position the centre of gravity at the desired point of each of the modules.
  • One or more filler bodies 104 are in the cavity 103, constituted by a light material, such as foam material (polystyrene, polyurethane, foam concrete etc.).
  • the module might be constituted by a closed box body possibly internally containing only air.
  • a plurality of modules 101 are positioned flanked to one another in such a way as to define a sector 105 of a floating work (or the definitive floating work in its entirety).
  • a continuous floor 107 having a longitudinal development that is substantially equal to the development of the sector 105 of the floating work, and the presence also of a predetermined number of continuous beams 108, also having a longitudinal development that is substantially equal to the development of the sector 105 of the floating work.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the presence of a continuous floor 107 accompanied by two beams 108 realised in a single piece with the floor.
  • the number of beams 108 and the dimensions/thicknesses of both the floor and the beams, as well as the relative positioning of the beams, can be decided according to project requirements.
  • the floor and the beams are constituted by reinforced concrete, with an upper finishing made of coloured concrete, resin or wood.
  • each of the modules constituted for example by wood, stone or ceramic, with the aim of giving the outside a more pleasant appearance.
  • brackets 111 which constrain each of the following modules in a lower zone 101b of each thereof, and in particular externally of the lateral walls 110.
  • brackets on the left side and a bracket on the right side of the two consecutive modules such as to joint them stably.
  • brackets 111 can be used provisionally to join the modules during the stage of construction of the work (as will better emerge herein below) and thus can be removed, or can also remain to give a better guarantee of the structural robustness of the work after construction.
  • the method for realising it in particular for the construction of sectors of floating quay constituted by a series of modules of desired dimensions, comprises following steps.
  • modules 101 are constituted by box structures already containing air or another light material, no step of inserting filler bodies is included.
  • the filter body 104 (or a plurality of filler bodies 104 according to needs) is inserted into the cavities 103.
  • the bodies will be made of light material, such as foam material (polystyrene, polyurethane, foam concrete).
  • Each of the modules is at this point placed in the water and positioned flanked to another with the aim of defining at least a sector 105 of the floating work.
  • the modules are provisionally joined, for example by means of the joint brackets 111.
  • the drop is in concrete, for example cement or resin, and in particular is performed in a continuous progression from one module 101 to the next.
  • the structure constituted by the modules in succession provisionally joined is solidly constrained and made into a single piece by means of the concrete drop, which is in generally performed in a rather rapid time such as to define, in a single operation, a floor 107 located superiorly on the modules and a predetermined number of beams 108 (at least and in general at least two) which extend longitudinally along the development of the modules.
  • both the floor 107 and the beams 108 advantageously extend longitudinally substantially along the whole extension of the sector 105 of the floating work or along the whole development of the floating work.
  • the floor and the beams can be realised in separate steps, joining them together in a single piece or not, depending on constructional requirements.
  • the anchoring structure 1 first comprises the presence of a plurality of different anchoring elements 3 exhibiting a first end 3a constrained, directly, to the sea or lake bottom.
  • each anchoring element 3 is defined by an elongate body 8 destined to exert a reaction substantially to only stretching forces.
  • the elongate body 8 is defined by a wire, a chain, a cable or a similar yielding element.
  • first end 3a will be retaining at the bottom by suitable ballast weight or can also be retained by dedicated rigid solutions, either constrained or emerging from the bottom, should the project require this.
  • At least a buoy 9 is present at the opposite ends 3b of the first element 3, which buoy 9 is of such dimensions as to generate a sufficient thrust upwards such as to tension the first element 3 and position it substantially along a vertical development direction.
  • buoys of the suitable dimensions can be two or even more buoys of the suitable dimensions according to the stretch force that is to be imparted on the elongate body 8.
  • the buoys can be filled with air, gas or in any case foam materials, and are retained by the first anchoring element 3 below the water surface at a certain predetermined depth.
  • the buoys are substantially at a same depth with respect to the free surface (L) of the water.
  • the first anchoring elements 3 will in general have different lengths such as to compensate for the different depth at which the first end 3a thereof is anchored.
  • the first anchoring elements 3 tensioned by the buoys 9 are however mobile, at least in rotation, with respect to the first end 3a constrained to the bottom.
  • the buoy 9 will substantially always keep the elongate element 8 under tension, the force of the currents, the wave motion and/or the winds acting indirectly on the water and generating currents, will generate forces on the buoys directed also transversally to the vertical direction, causing a movement of the second end 3b of the anchoring elements 3 along a spherical surface with a centre at the first end 3a anchored to the bottom.
  • the engaging zones 6 can also near/distance to and from the respective first ends 3a up to the maximum distance D1, D2, D3 coinciding with the length of the elongate body 8.
  • the engaging zones 6 of the first anchoring elements 3 mainly move by rotation about a substantially horizontal axis passing through the first end 3a constrained to the bottom.
  • the second anchoring element 4 develops and connects the first anchoring elements 3 between them along a direction 10 that is longitudinal and in generally substantially perpendicular to the development direction 11 of the first anchoring elements 3.
  • the second anchoring element 4 connects the first anchoring elements 3 to one another at the respect second ends 3b thereof in a substantially proximal position to the position of the buoys 9.
  • the second anchoring element 4 though it can be constituted by a bar or another rigid element, is advantageously realised as an elongate body 12 destined to exert a reaction substantially only to stretching forces as it is constituted by a wire, a chain, a cable or a similar yielding element, exactly as in the case of the first anchoring element 3.
  • the second anchoring element 4 will be arranged substantially horizontally at the same depth.
  • the third anchoring elements 5 also comprise an elongate body 14 destined to exert a reaction substantially to only the stretching forces as it is a wire, a chain, a cable or a similar yielding element which is designed to resist the imposed stretching forces and to remain in a watery environment (possibly saline) and be capable of resisting the effects of environmental aggression over time, and is therefore provided with adequate chemical and metallic protections against electrolytic phenomena.
  • the third anchoring element 5 can be directly or indirectly constrained to the floating work 2 and in general exhibits a constraining terminal 13 for constraining to lugs or hooks positioned on the floating work (quay or wharf and structure).
  • this constraint will be placed at a lower zone 2b of the floating work in such a way that all the anchoring elements 3, 4,5 are substantially submerged.
  • the first and the second anchoring element, like the buoys 9, are all below the free surface of the water, while the third anchoring element 5 will possibly exhibit a small terminal portion at the lugs of the emerging floating work.
  • the plurality of first anchoring elements 3, the second anchoring element 4, the predetermined number of third anchoring elements 5 are positioned and constrained as described above at least at one of the two half-spaces, the other space possibly comprising a suitable and corresponding constraining system as shown in figures 1 and 2 or also completely different constraining systems.
  • the structure is exactly the same as the previously-described one.
  • the third anchoring element 5 passes substantially below the floating work, starting from a half-space and constraining to the floating work and at the opposite half-space; in other words, the third anchoring element 5 transversally crosses the floating work up to the constraining point which is on the opposite side to the side in which the constraining system develops.
  • a first situation is illustrated with a lower water surface and a second situation or operative condition with a raised surface.
  • the buoys 9 retain the first anchoring elements 3 substantially in a vertical position and the third anchoring elements 5 are subjected to a stretching force which is such as to maintain a certain distance between the constraining terminal 13 and the floating work and the constraining zone 16 and the anchoring element 4.
  • the second constraining element 4 gives stability to the anchoring structure and prevents movement of the other anchoring elements which can lead to dealignment of the floating work or can cause generation of forces which can damage the structure.
  • the invention provides important advantages.
  • an elastic anchoring is realised for the floating work, as the buoys, following the rotating movement towards the floating work, by means of the third anchoring means 5 oppose the wave motion and the wind force, and tend always to return into a perpendicular position with respect to the bottom.
  • the anchoring structure caters for significant surface-level variations in both lake (between minimum and maximum level) and sea.
  • the structure can be anchored in a way that is differentiated zone by zone, as the stretching force of the third anchoring elements 5 can be varied as required. Also, the recall force generated by the buoys can be varied, increasing and reducing the thrust thereof upwards.
  • the floating works (modules) made as described above can be directly installed in the water, thus reducing, if not eliminating, all the logistical problems connected with land or water-borne transport of heavy and large manufactured items.
