Definitions
- This invention relates to a structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes of the type normally used both as an avalanche barrier and to secure land at risk of landslides and the like.
- this invention was conceived with reference to the type of protection and consolidation structures, invented by this Applicant, characterised by an umbrella shape.
- Such structures were initially described in patent EP 828 897. Therefore, hereinafter reference is mainly made to that type of structures.
- the umbrella-shaped structures comprise a mainly flat structure for holding back material at the centre of which a first end of a rigid rod is connected.
- the second end of the rod can be fixed to the ground.
- the structure for holding back material in turn comprises a plurality of arms extending radially from the central rod and means for holding back material which are supported by the arms.
- the means for holding back material comprise a pair of superposed metal nets, one for support having large links made with thick cords, and one for actually holding back material having smaller links and made of thinner cords or the like.
- Each arm is also connected to the main rod by a metal tie rod.
- the arms are hinged to the main rod, independently of each other, in such a way that they can oscillate freely (although always and only for a limited angle) to allow improved adjustment of the structure once loaded with the material to be held back.
- Some alternative embodiments of such a type of structures are described in patents EP 1 921 210 and EP 1 728 924.
- the arms are rigidly fixed to each other in such a way that any adjustment of the structure is inhibited.
- the first aspect to consider is the size of the structures which may have a surface for holding back material that measures as much as four metres by four metres, with consequent sizing of the rod and the arms, making the structure very heavy.
- the structures are sent by lorry to a base site close to the installation site where, once finished, they are picked up one by one by a helicopter and carried to the actual installation site.
- the structure for holding back material is normally separate from the central rod and, if it is too large, it is even partly disassembled to reduce its overall surface area.
- said construction method is complicated because it requires cord tensioning before it can be fixed in the closed configuration. Indeed, being already inserted in the slots, to be able to fix it at the correct length, a strong pulling action must be applied to the cord.
- the technical purpose which forms the basis of this invention is to provide an umbrella-shaped structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- the technical purpose of this invention is to provide an umbrella-shaped structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes which can be transported in an easier way than the prior art structures. It is also a technical purpose of this invention to provide an umbrella-shaped structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes which can be easily brought to its operating condition in a short period of time and without the need for specialised personnel.
- this invention it is also the technical purpose of this invention to provide a structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes which is easier to assemble than the prior art structures also as regards the means for holding back material.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic axonometric view of a first type of structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes made in accordance with this invention, with the main rod pointing upwards, and with part of the hooking means removed for clarity;
- Figure 2 is a schematic side view, with some parts cut away to better illustrate others, of a detail of the structure of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the detail of Figure 2
- Figures 4 and 5 illustrate a third embodiment of the detail of Figure 2;
- Figure 7 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the detail of Figure 2;
- Figure 8 illustrates a sixth embodiment of the detail of Figure 2;
- Figure 11 illustrates a ninth embodiment of the detail of Figure 2;
- FIG. 12 illustrates a second type of structure made in accordance with this invention, that is to say, a double umbrella-shaped structure which is otherwise the same as the single umbrella-shaped structure illustrated in Figure 1 ;
- FIG. 13 is a schematic axonometric view of a detail of a structure made in accordance with this invention, in which a first part of the hooking means is visible;
- FIG. 14 is a schematic side view, with the cord in cross-section and other parts cut away for clarity, of a detail of a structure corresponding to that of Figure 13, with all of the parts of the hooking means visible.
- the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety an umbrella-shaped structure for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes made in accordance with this invention. It should also be noticed that for the sake of clarity, in Figures 2 to 11 only some of the arms 2 are illustrated, and that arms 2 may be shown in different positions in the same figure.
- the umbrella-shaped structure 1 in its entirety is visible in Figure 1 .
- the main rod 4 In general it comprises two main parts, a structure 3 for holding back material (positioned horizontally in Figure 1 but which in practice is arranged at an angle or perpendicular to the ground) and a main rod 4 connected to a central portion 5 of the structure 3 for holding back material (the rod extending vertically in Figure 1 ).
- the main rod 4 may be substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the structure 3 for holding back material, or just at an angle to it.
- the structure 3 for holding back material in turn comprises, first a plurality of supporting arms 2 extending from the central portion 5 and which, at least in the operating condition (such as that illustrated in Figure 1 ), extend substantially radially relative to the main rod 4.
- the arms 2 are mainly girders with an '-shaped cross-section which have an inner end 6 rotatably connected to the main rod 4 and a cantilever-style free outer end 7. The method with which the arms 2 are connected to the main rod 4 is described below.
- arms 2 there may be any number of arms 2 provided that their outer ends 7 form the corners of a polygon.
- the supporting arms 2 support means 8 for holding back material which are substantially flexible, and suitable for creating in use a barrier for holding back snow, earth or the like.
- the means 8 for holding back material are schematically illustrated as a metal net with large links.
- the umbrella-shaped structure 1 also comprises an annular perimetric metal cord 9 fixed to the supporting arms 2 close to their free ends 7 and to which the metal net is fixed.
- the central portion 5 of the structure 3 for holding back material in the embodiment in Figure 1 it is a tubular central body 10 in which the main rod 4 is inserted and fixed, and a plurality of fixed flanges 11 which are fixed to the central body 10 and extend radially from it. Each arm 2 is rotatably connected to one of these fixed flanges 11.
- the central portion 5 of the structure 3 for holding back material may also have other forms or consist directly of the main rod 4.
- there is a plurality of tie rods 12 which, at least in practice, are each connected between a supporting arm 2 of the structure 3 for holding back material 3 and the main rod 4.
- the tie rods 12 are connected to the supporting arms 2 approximately two thirds of the way along the latter.
- the tie rods are connected to the main rod 4 at its end opposite that connected to the structure 3 for holding back material, by means of a shaped element 13 for fixing the end of the main rod to the ground.
- a shaped element 13 for fixing the end of the main rod to the ground.
- the supporting arms 2 are rotatably connected relative to the main rod 4 ("relative” to in the sense that they can be hinged directly to the main rod 4 or to another element which is fixed to it, such as the central body 10).
- the arms 2 can rotate relative to the main rod 4 in such a way that they can rotate at least between a first position in which they lie in a plane transversal (and generally substantially perpendicular) to the main rod 4 (such as in Figure 1 ), and a second position in which they are arranged substantially parallel with a main direction of extension of the rod (as shown in Figures 3, 4, 6 to 11 ).
- the means 8 for holding back material remain coupled to the supporting arms 2 in both positions (even if in the accompanying drawings they are not shown in the second position).
- the means 8 for holding back material are contained between the supporting arms 2 and the main rod 4.
- the supporting arms 2 as well as being able to rotate, can translate relative to the central portion 5 or to the main rod 4 in such a way that a portion 14 of them for connection to the central portion 5 or to the main rod 4 can move between a position close to the main rod 4 and a position distanced from the main rod 4.
- the connecting portion 14 is a pair of shaped flanges fixed to the inner end 6 of the respective supporting arm 2 (the two shaped flanges contain between them one of the radial fixed flanges 11 fixed to the central portion 5 or to the main rod 4).
- connection between the various flanges is obtained by means of a pin 15 perpendicular to their main surface of extension (a pin 15 which may be fixed to the arm 2 or to the central portion 5/to the main rod 4 or to none of them, as in the case when it is a bolt or a through peg).
- the translation and rotation are obtained by the sliding of the engagement element in the slot-shaped hole 16 (in the case in Figures 4 and 5 both comprise slot-shaped holes 16 and the engagement element is free relative to both).
- the aim of making arm 2 translation possible is to allow their rotation even in the case of dimensions which, in themselves, are such that they prevent it. Thanks to the translation, it is possible to move the point of rotation away from the main rod 4.
- extent of the rotation may normally range from 90° to 180°, depending on requirements.
- the umbrella-shaped structure 1 must comprise suitable selective locking means 18, described in more detail below.
- the supporting arms 2 when the supporting arms 2 are in the second position ( Figure 4), they extend, relative to the central portion 5, on the side opposite to the main rod 4.
- the main rod 4 is connected to the central portion 5 at its lower part.
- the central portion 5 is a horizontal plate 19 (relative to the drawings) which may be circular or square. Coupled to the two sides of the plate there are two groups of four flanges 20, 21 arranged in a cross shape (for each group two flanges are visible in side view and one in front view).
- the substantially triangular flanges 20 are designed for coupling to the main rod 4, whilst the substantially rectangular flanges 21 are provided with a horizontal slot- shaped hole 16 in which the engagement element slides.
- the engagement element is simultaneously inserted in a slot 22 made in the connecting portion 14 of the supporting arm 2.
- the horizontal plate 19 forms the selective locking means 18, since it prevents rotation of the arm 2 towards the main rod 4 (advantageously there may be means not illustrated which are designed to prevent the movement of the arms 2 from the close position).
- the preferred embodiment is that illustrated in Figures 1 , 2 and 12.
- the hinging point 23 of the arms 2 to the central portion 5 is located off centre relative to the direction of extension of the dimensions of the arm 2, on the side towards which the rotation must occur. In this way, following the rotation, the arm 2 also moves outwards to a certain extent.
- the selective locking means 18 in practice selectively prevent rotation of the arms 2 towards the second position.
- the selective locking means 18 comprise at least one removable element 24 which can be mounted between an arm 2 and the central portion 5 of the supporting umbrella-shaped structure 1 (or, in other similar solutions, the main rod 4 connected to it).
- the removable element 24 is advantageously a peg, appropriately comprising an enlarged head and/or split pin head, which can be inserted in two through holes 25 made respectively in the supporting arm 2 (in particular in its connecting portion 14) and in the central portion 5 (or rather in a fixed flange 11 belonging to it) - or, in other embodiments, in the main rod 4.
- the holes 25 are aligned when the supporting arm 2 is in the first position (right-hand part of Figure 2).
- the selective locking means 18 allow limited oscillations of the arm 2 around its first position. As shown in Figure 2, this can be achieved by shaping at least one of the holes 25 into a slot (the one in the fixed flange 11 in the accompanying drawings) in such a way as to allow oscillation when the peg is inserted in it. For that purpose the slot must extend along an arc of a circle centred at the hinging point 23.
- the arms 2 are able to rotate and translate according to the methods described above, and the selective locking means 18 comprise, for each supporting arm 2, at least one contact element 26, fixed relative to the main rod 4, against which the arm 2 interacts if, when it is simultaneously in the first position and in the close position, it is pushed to rotate towards the second position.
- the fixed contact element 26 does not prevent oscillations of the supporting arms 2 beyond the first position. Such oscillations are limited by the tie rods 12.
- the movement of the arms 2 from the close position to the distanced position causes disengagement of the selective locking means 18.
- the rotation is similar to that of Figures 3 and 6 to 9, whilst the selective locking means 18 comprise at least one removable collar 27 which can be removably mounted on the main rod 4 at the central portion 5.
- the collar 27 may be open or openable in such a way that it can be mounted on the rod radially, or closed. In this latter case, it must be able to slide along the rod in such a way that it can be moved from a position beyond the zone affected by the supporting arms 2 located in the second position, to a position close to the central portion 5.
- suitable means not illustrated, provided for keeping the collar in the latter position with the umbrella-shaped structure 1 in the operating condition.
- Figure 12 shows a double umbrella-shaped structure 1.
- the umbrella-shaped structure 1 also comprises a second structure 3 for holding back material, with respective tie rods 12, substantially mirroring the first and fixed to the opposite end of the main rod 4.
- the distance between the two umbrella-shaped structures is not less than twice the length of the arms 2, in such a way that all of the arms 2 can be simultaneously brought into the second position.
- the tie rods 12 of each structure 3 for holding back material are fixed to an intermediate portion of the main rod 4.
- the tie rods 12 may even be fixed to any other portion of the main rod 4, for example to its ends.
- the umbrella-shaped structures in practice, they have the supporting arms 2 arranged in the first position and behave exactly like the prior art structures. However, they differ from the prior art structures during the set-up and transportation step.
- the umbrella-shaped structures may be completely, or almost completely, assembled directly at the production site.
- they may be completely assembled when the selective locking means 18 are fixed to one of their parts ( Figures 3, 6 to 9), the locking depending exclusively on the position of the arms 2, whilst they may be almost completely assembled when the selective locking means 18 comprise removable parts (removable element 24 as in Figures 1 , 2, 10 and 12, or removable collar 27) which must be mounted only during the step of opening the umbrella-shaped structure 1.
- removable parts removable element 24 as in Figures 1 , 2, 10 and 12, or removable collar 27
- the arms 2 can be moved to the second position with the means 8 for holding back material fixed to them, transforming a very large umbrella-shaped structure 1 into an elongate object with limited cross- section. Therefore, the umbrella-shaped structures can easily be packaged and transported to the base site (a single lorry can transport a large quantity of them).
- a second innovative aspect of this invention relates to the method for assembly of the means 8 for holding back material.
- that aspect is described mainly with reference to an umbrella- shaped structure 1 of the type described above (single, as in Figure 1 , or double, as in Figure 12).
- this aspect of this invention is applied to structures 1 for the protection and/or consolidation of slopes which comprise at least one structure 3 for holding back material which in practice extends mainly flat, and which in turn comprises a plurality of rigid supporting elements 28, at least one perimetric cord 9 fixed to at least one of the rigid supporting elements 28 by means of hooking means 29, and means 8 for holding back material which are substantially flexible and are supported by the perimetric cord 9 and, directly or indirectly, by the rigid supporting elements 28 for in practice creating a barrier for holding back snow, earth or the like.
- the perimetric cord 9 also extends along a closed trajectory which is generally polygonal.
- the structure is an umbrella-shaped structure 1 , as seen, it also comprises a main rod 4 connected to a central portion of the structure 3 for holding back material transversally to its main plane of extension.
- the structure 3 for holding back material in turn comprises a plurality of arms forming the rigid elements 28 (and which therefore hereinafter are labelled with the same reference number 2), extending substantially radially from the central portion 5 and which are also connected to the main rod 4 by means of a plurality of tie-rods 12.
- the arms 2 may be rigidly fixed both to the main rod 4 and to each other, or they may be free to oscillate relative to each other and/or relative to the main rod 4 (as described above).
- the supporting arms 2 should be able to move relative to each other and/or relative to the axis in such a way as to reduce the length of the path passing through the points for constraining the cord 9 to the arms 2, relative to the operating condition. This point is also referred to below.
- the umbrella-shaped structure 1 may be a single structure (as shown in Figure 1 ) or double (as shown in Figure 12). In the latter case, in a known way, the only difference is generally the presence of a second structure 3 for holding back material, which substantially mirrors the first and is positioned at the opposite end of the main rod 4.
- the means 29 for hooking the cord 9 to a rigid element 28 comprise a pair of shaped elements 30 and a clamping element 31 (only illustrated in Figure
- the shaped elements 30 are fixed to the rigid supporting element 28 in such a way that each forms, in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the structure 3 for holding back material (that is to say, in the plane of the drawing of Figure 14), a recess 32 facing outwards relative to the closed path identified by the extension trajectory of the perimetric cord 9. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the perimetric cord 9 is ⁇ transversally inserted in said recess 32.
- clamping element 31 is rigidly clamped on the perimetric cord 9 and is positioned between the shaped elements 30 ( Figure 14 shows in the foreground a shaped element 30 and behind it the clamping element
- the other shaped element 30 is further back, behind the clamping element 31 ).
- the clamping element 31 has an extension, transversally to the cord 9 (that is to say, parallel with the plane of the drawing of Figure 14), greater than the size of the recess 32, thus preventing movements of the cord 9 along its own extension (perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of Figure 14) beyond the shaped elements 30
- the distance between the shaped elements 30 is slightly greater than the width of the clamping element 31 substantially for preventing significant movements of the cord 9 both ways along its own direction of extension.
- the shaped elements 30 extend cantilever-style from the rigid element 28, along a trajectory which lies in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the structure 3 for holding back material and which is angled towards the outside of the closed trajectory defined by the cord 9.
- this is achieved thanks to the fact that the shaped elements 30 are substantially "C"-shaped, with one side of the "C” directly associated with the rigid element 28 (for example by welding).
- the hooking means 29 also comprise at least one closing element 33 mounted between the shaped elements 30 for preventing the clamping element 31 from shifting outwards relative to the closed trajectory defined by the cord 9.
- the closing element 33 may be of any type, provided that it can constitute an obstacle to the cord 9 exiting the recesses once the clamping element 31 has been mounted on it.
- the closing element 33 may be fixed either to one of the shaped elements 30 or to the rigid element 28.
- the closing element 33 connects the cantilever-style free ends of the shaped elements 30. More particularly, as Figure 13 clearly shows, the shaped elements 30 and the closing element 33 are made from a single piece of shaped material (overall having the shape of a hook). In this way, shifting of the cord 9 out of the recess 32 according to the arrow in Figure 14 is impossible, since the clamping element 31 remains locked between the closing element 33 and the rigid arm 2.
- an openable clamp comprising a "U"-shaped element 34 with threaded ends, a bar 35 with two through holes in it, through which the ends of the "U"-shaped element 34 are inserted and two locknuts 36 which are screwed onto the threaded ends.
- the "U"-shaped element 34 is sized in such a way that it does not interfere with the closing element 33, whilst the bar 35 has greater dimensions, such that it does interfere. In this way, the clamping element 31 is easily mounted even when the cord 9 is already inserted in the recesses.
- the "U"-shaped element 34 can simply be inserted on the cord 9 from the outside to the inside of the closed trajectory, and locked with the bar 35 and the two nuts 36.
- the structure comprises a plurality of hooking means 29 of the type described above, which are distributed along the entire extension of the cord 9.
- the cord 9 extends along a polygonal trajectory substantially passing at the outer ends of the supporting arms 2 and the hooking means 29 are positioned at least at one of the vertices of the polygon, advantageously at all of them.
- the cord 9 may be closed on itself at the correct length with the means 8 for holding back material already fixed to it, before being installed on the rigid elements 28.
- the arms 2 simply have to be brought to the rotated configuration, the cord 9 inserted in the recesses and the arms 2 returned to the operating position, thus tensioning the cord 9.
- the clamping elements can be fixed, so that any further movement of the arms 2 can no longer cause any shifting of the cord 9 and of the means 8 for holding back material from the correct position.
- the umbrella-shaped structures according to this invention may be transported much more easily than the prior art umbrella-shaped structures.
- the times needed to bring them to the operating condition at the base site can be minimised.
- this invention allows the structures to be assembled in a way that is much simpler than for conventional solutions. It also allows, in a quite simple way, any necessary separation of the cord and the means for holding back material from the rigid elements without requiring their disassembly.
