Definitions

  • the invention relates to a braking element for a safety structure and to a braking assembly comprising one or more of said braking elements.
  • Said braking element and said braking assembly are suitable for being associated with a safety guard, such as a safety mesh, for forming a safety structure.
  • the invention can be applied to the construction of any safety structure that requires the dissipation of a large amount of energy or the limitation / containment of loads on the structures.
  • Non-limiting examples of such structures include rockfall guards, debris-flow guards, consolidation structures, snow fences, and the like.
  • the use of said braking elements allows to absorb the kinetic energy of the landslide material deriving from subsidence of the ground, thus preventing the breakage of the safety mesh, and the consequent downward slipping of said landslide material, for example to dangerous areas, such as mountain roads or dwellings.
  • plastically deformable elements which plastically deformable elements are fastened on one side to a support anchored to the ground and on the other side to the safety mesh or guard intended to stop the fall of the landslide material.
  • These braking elements thanks to their deformation, absorb the kinetic energy of the landslide material and thus prevent the damage - or even the breakage - of said safety mesh or guard.
  • these braking elements may have a helical profile, whereby the helical profile is straightened when subjected to a tension along the direction passing through the two fastening points for the connection to the ground and, respectively, to the safety mesh or guard.
  • the braking element described in said document comprises a body provided with two diametrically opposite fastening points, one for the connection to a safety guard, and the other one for the anchoring to the ground.
  • a predefined tearing line is provided on said body, which line is formed by a series of breaking points arranged according to a double spiral pattern, in which the two spirals extend in opposite directions and are converging towards the centre of said body.
  • the braking elements of the type described above are based on tearing along said breaking points to dissipate the kinetic energy of the landslide material; consequently, the deformation value of the braking element is strictly related to the fact that these breakages occur correctly and according to the pre-set theoretical values. In the event that these breakages, although theoretically controlled, do not correctly occur, the kinetic energy of the landslide material cannot be absorbed according to the desired parameters.
  • a first object of the invention is therefore to provide a braking element, which is deformable under the action of a tension applied thereto, which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art described above and which, more particularly, is not bound to the partial breakage, even controlled, of said braking element.
  • braking elements As the purpose of the braking elements is to absorb the kinetic energy of the landslide material, braking elements based on forms of energy dissipation other than tearing along predefined breaking points were also developed in the past. For example, other braking elements of a known type are based on friction to absorb the kinetic energy of the landslide material. In this case, the deformation value of the braking element is therefore dependent on the friction between its components.
  • a drawback of this type of braking elements is the difficulty in guaranteeing reliable and constant performances over time.
  • this difficulty is increased by the fact that said braking elements are associated with safety structures which are mounted outdoors and exposed to weather and atmospheric agents.
  • said braking elements are associated with safety structures which are mounted outdoors and exposed to weather and atmospheric agents.
  • a variation in the friction coefficients between the different components could probably occur, which would result in a consequent variation in the deformation value of said braking elements and a possible loss of the capability of correctly absorbing the kinetic energy of the landslide material.
  • Another object of the invention is therefore to provide a braking element, the deformation value of which is independent from the friction between its components.
  • the deformation value is strictly related to their dimensional characteristics and to the used materials.
  • the material used for manufacturing the braking element it is necessary to change the material used for manufacturing the braking element or to modify the dimensions or the spatial arrangement of said braking element.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a braking element, the deformation value of which is not strictly related to the dimensional characteristics and materials of said braking element.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a braking assembly, made by the combination of one or more braking elements, preferably of two or more braking elements, which is suitable for absorbing of a wide range of kinetic energy values.
  • a braking element for a safety structure and a braking assembly comprising one or more of said braking elements as claimed in the appended claims.
  • the braking element consists of an elongated body provided with respective connecting points at its opposite ends for the connection to a safety guard or mesh on one side and to the ground on the other side, wherein said body is arranged for passing from a non-deformed configuration to a deformed configuration.
  • the body In said non-deformed configuration, the body has an annular profile, in which the two opposite ends of said body face each other.
  • the body In said deformed configuration, the body has an extended profile with its two opposite ends far from each other.
  • the non-deformed configuration is the configuration in which the braking element is installed.
  • the deformed configuration is the configuration after a tension, generated for example by the fall of landslide material against said safety mesh or guard, has been applied to the braking element.
  • the deformation value of the braking element according to the invention is not dependent on the tearing of predetermined breaking points nor on friction.
  • said braking element is reliable and its performances remain reliable over time.
  • the body is provided with a plurality of connecting through-holes which are positioned at different locations at each of its opposite ends. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to select the desired connecting through-hole each time, thus modifying the deformation value for the same size and material of the braking element.
  • the present invention also relates to a braking assembly formed by the combination of two or more braking elements according to the invention connected to each other.
  • these known braking elements have been designed as single units, so that the combination of said single units would be difficult, if not impossible in some instances, and would entail considerable space requirement.
