Description

RECOVERABLE EARTH ANCHOR This invention relates to the construction of a recoverable earth anchor and the recovering- method thereof.
As is well known, an earth anchor is used for fastening a wall toward its back-up earth to prevent the wall from collapsing. Earth anchors can be classified into two categories, i.e. permanent type and temporary type, depending on whether or not they to be used in a permanent manner. On the other hand, anchors can be classified into another two categories, i.e. enlargement type and friction type, in accordance with the shapes of the ends of the earth anchors that penetrate into the ground, and the principle of fastening employed. The enlargement type earth anchor has a particularly enlarged block formed at the end thereof which penetrates the ground and is fitted into an enlarged cavity provided in the ground.The movement of the enlarged block at the underground end of the earth anchor is stopped by the wall of its receiving cavity and thereby a fastening force is produced at the other end of the earth anchor on the ground surface. As for the friction type earth anchor, an elongated and generally cylindrical block is formed at the end which penetrates, the ground. The diameter of the cylindrical block in this type of earth anchor is only slightly larger than that of the remaining portion , and thus the fastening force thereof with respect to the wall to be fastened is produced by the friction force between the cylindrical block and its receiving cavity.
However, a troublesome problem exists in the use of conventional earth anchor which still remains to be solved. Namely, hitherto, earth anchors, both permanent and temporary, cannot be recovered even when they are no longer necessary. Consequently, the prestressed strands of the earth anchors which remain in the ground will cause problems by affecting subsequent construction on adjacent sites.
The primary object of this invention is to completely eliminate the aforesaid disadvantage of conventional earth anchors by providing a recoverable earth anchor.
A second object of this invention is to provide a friction type earth anchor of which the cylindrical block ( fixed portion), when the earth anchor is of no further use, can be broken into several short segments under the action of impacting force produced by, for example, a pile driving operation on adjacent sites. Besides, the portion ( free portion) of the earth anchor which is closer to the ground surface than the fixed portion can be recovered to the ground. Thus, the undesired effect due to the existence of used earth anchors on adjacent construction sites can be minimized.
This invention will be further described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing showing how the existence of prestressed strands of used earth anchors in the ground will adversely affect the construction on adjacent sites; Fig. 2 is a schematic drawing showing how an enlargement type earth anchor in accordance with this invention is set into the earth; Fig. 3 is a schematic drawing showing how a friction type earth anchor in accordance with this invention is set into the earth; Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a joint of type one used for disengageably connecting the prestressed strands in an earth anchor in accordance with this invention, the joint being shown in an " engaged " state; Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 4, but with the joint shown in a "disengaged" state;; Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of a joint of type one as shown in Figs. 4 and 5; Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a joint of type two used for disengageably connecting the prestressed strands in a friction type earth anchor in accordance with this invention, the joint being shown in an " engaged " state; Fig. 8 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 7, but with the joint shown in a " disengaged " state; Fig. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the joint of type two as shown in Figs. 7 and 8; Fig. 10 is a sectional view illustrating several aforesaid joints of type two connected in series and used in a friction type earth anchor in accordance with this invention, all joints being shown in an "engaged" state; and Fig. 11 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 10, but with all joints shown in a "disengaged" state.
The aforementioned problem of conventional earth anchor will now be further described by referring to Fig. 1. Hitherto, earth anchors used for fastening and securing sheet piles 8 etc. against the back-up earth during construction on a site, say site 2, are usually left in the earth of adjacent sites, say sites 1 and 3, even when the construction is finished and the earth anchors are of no further use. The prestressed strands of these residual earth anchors are left in the earth of the adjacent lands at the spacing therebetween of about 1 meter along the horizontal direction, and about 1-2 meters along the vertical direction. Thus, these prestressed strands which are quite tough are distributed at such a high density that they will seriously affect subsequent construction on adjacent sites.
This invention provides a solution to completely overcome the aforesaid drawback of conventional earth anchors.
The way an enlargement type earth anchor in accordance with this invention is set into the earth is schematically shown in Fig. 2, wherein the prestressed strands 7(7') of each earth anchor are longitudinally divided into a free section 4 and a fixed section 5 connected with a joint 100 of type one therebetween, with the free section 4 being closer to and accesible from the ground surface, and the fixed section 5 penetrating the ground. Thus, when the earth anchor is no longer necessary, a controlling cable 6 , of which one end is connected to the joint 100 and the other end is introduced outside the ground surface G.L. , can be pulled from the ground surface to move the joint 100 into a "disengaged" state, the details of which will be described below, and thereby the free section 5 can be recovered from the ground surface.
The way a friction type earth anchor in accordance with this invention is set into the earth is schematically shown in Fig. 3. The prestressed strands of this friction type earth anchor also comprise a free section 4 and a fixed section 5' connected with a joint of type two, outermost joint, therebetween. The structure of the free section 4 in this type of earth anchor is the same as that of the above enlargement type earth anchor, but the fixed section 5' in this type of earth anchor is about 20 meters or so in length and is connected along its length with several joints (inner joints ), including one joint 100 of type one at the innermost side and several joints 200 of type two.When the earth anchor is no longer necessary, a controlling cable 6 similar to that shown in Fig. 2 and used in the aforementioned enlargement type earth anchor can be operated fr-om the ground surface to disengage each of the joints one by one. Thus, not only can the free section 4 be retrieved from the ground surface but the fixed section ' can also be broken into short several segments at the joints when impacting forces from pile driving operations are exerted thereon. Accordingly, the drawback of conventional earth anchors can be completely overcome.
The details of the structure and the action of the first type of joint 100 will now be described with reference to Figs. 4 through 6.
Fig.4 is the assembly drawing of a joint 100 of type one, showing the joint 100 in an "engaged" state, i.e. a state wherein the free section 4 and the fixed section 5 can be connected or coupled by this joint 100. Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. 4 , but showing the joint 100 in a "disengaged" state, i.e. a state wherein the connection between the free section 4-and the fixed section 5 by the joint 100 is disconnected. Fig. 6 is the exploded sectional view of the joint 100.
From the above three drawings, it can be understood that joint 100 mainly comprises a first member 10, a second member 20, an engaging pin 30, several balls 40, a safety pin 50, and a protecting bellow 60 etc.
Referring, in particular, to Fig. 6, the first member 10 comprises a sleeve portion 11 and a flange portion 12. The sleeve portion 11 is provided at its center a receiving hole 13 which opens from the side far from the flange portion 12 and extends in axial direction but does not penetrate through the whole member 10, and a groove 16, the depth of which is smaller than the radius of the ball 40, is recessed into the inner periphery of the hole 13. A plurality of through holes 15 for passing through the prestressed strands 7' together with the same number of securing portions 14 for securing the ends of the strands 7' are circumferentially provided on the flange portion 12, each through hole 15 extending parallel to the axial direction of the joint 100 and aligned with a securing portion 14.
The second member 20 comprises a substantially hollow cylindrical body 23, an enlarged portion 21 intergral with the body 23, and a flange portion 22 which is also intergrally formed with the body 23. A guiding hole 28 having constant cross section is axially provided at the central portion of the second member 20. The hole 28 penetrates almost the whole length of the second member 20 then reduces to a relatively small hole 29A at a position near the end surface of the second member 20 on the flange portion side. The small hole 29A extends from the guiding hole 28 through a projection 29 which projects slightly from the aforsaid end surface . The outer size of the body portion 23 is so determined that it can be slidably fitted into the receiving hole 13 in the first member 10.Several ball holes 26 which penetrate radially through the wall of the hollow body portion 23 are circumferentially disposed at appropriate positions in the body portion 23. Besides, a safety pin hole 27 is radially provided in the body portion 23 for receiving the safety pin 50. The outer diameter or size of the enlarged portion 21 is substantially the same as that of the sleeve portion 11 of the first member 10. On the flange portion 22 of the second member 20 are also provided several through holes 25 and securing portions 24 which are indentical, in the number and the function thereof, to the above through holes 15 and securing portions 14 on the flange portion 12 of the first member 10.
As shown in Fig. 6, the engaging pin 30 comprises a sliding portion 38, and a pressing portion 36 integrally formed with the sliding portion 38. The sliding portion 38 is provided with a satefy pin hole 37 which radially extends through the sliding portion 38, and a securing portion 34 formed at the end surface of the portion 38 far from the pressing portion 36. The pressing portion 36 includes, at the end far from the sliding portion 38 , a convergent portion 35 of which the radial size gradually reduces toward the end. The outer dimension or diameter of the sliding portion 38 is so determined that it can be slidably fitted into the c guiding hole 28 of the second member 20. The pressing portion 36 is smaller in outer diameter or size than that of the sliding portion 38.
The engaging and disengaging function of this joint 100 will now be described in detail by referring to Figs.4 and 5, which show the engaged and disengaged states respectively of the joint 100 of type one.
As shown in Fig. 4, when joint 100 is in the engaged state, the engaging pin 30 is inserted fully into the guiding hole 28 of the second member 20 and the body portion 23 of the member 20 is inserted into the receiving hole 13 of the first member 10 to the point where the ball holes 26 provided therein are alligned with the groove 16 recessed on the inner periphery of the receiving hole 13 of the first member 10. Also, the engaging pin 30 is so positioned that the safety pin hole 37 provided therein is aligned with the safety pin hole 27 provided in the body portion of the second member 20.
In addition, each of the balls 40 is received in a ball hole 26 of the member 20 and firmly pressed against the groove 16 of the member 10 by the pressing portion 36 of the engaging pin 30 at the bottom thereof. A controlling cable 6 is secured to the securing portion 34 of the engaging pin 30 before the Latter is inserted into the guiding hole 28, and is inserted through the small hole 29a outside of the member 20 and extends up to the ground surface so that it can be operated from the ground surface. Further, a safety pin 50 is inserted into and through the aligned safety pin holes 17 and 27 so as to guarantee that the engaging pin 30 will not be unintentionally or mistakenly moved away from this engaged state.In order to avoid the intrusion of dirt, debris, water etc. into the joint 100, a protecting bellow 60 is provided around the connecting portions with the two longitudinal edges of the bellow 60 being sealingly adhered to the sleeve portion 11 of the first member 10 and the enlarged portion 21 of the second member 20 respectively. Also, for same purpose, a protecting bag 70 is wrapped around the whole length of the controlling cable 6 except for the portion inside of the member 20, with one end of the bag 70 being attached and sealed to the projection 29 of the member 20. Each of the prestressed strands 7 or 7' to be connected by the joint 100 is introduced respectively through a through hole 15 or 25, and secured to a securing portion 14 or 24.Thus, the prestressed strands of the earth anchor are connected by the joint 100 which is in an engaged state, wherein the relative motion between the engaging pin 30 and the second member 20 is stopped by the safety pin 50 and the relative motion between the first and second members 10 and 20 is stopped by the several balls 40 engaged at their shearing surface.
In Fig. 5, the disengaged state of the joint 100 is shown. When the earth anchor is no longer necessary, the controlling cable 6 is pulled from the ground surface by a pulling force which is strong enough to overcome the shearing strength of the safety pin 50. Hence, the safety pin 50 will be broken and the engaging pin 30 be moved away from the engaged state as shown in Fig. 4 to the disengaged state as shown in Fig. 5 wherein the pressing portion 36 of the engaging pin 30 no longer pressed against the bottom of each ball 40 and thus the balls 40 move away from the shearing surface between the first member 10 and the second member 20. Accordingly, in ths aforesaid disengaged state, the prestressed strands 7 and 7' secured on the opposite two sides of the joint 100 can be disconnected.
In the friction type earth anchor as shown in Fig.
3, in order to connect the prestressed strands thereof, several joints in series are used, of which only the joint farthermost from the free section is a joint 100 of type one, and the remaining joints are all joints 200 of type two.
The details of the structure and of action of the second type of joint 200 will be described below with reference to Figs. 7 to 9.
Fig. 7 is an assembly drawing of the second type of joint 200, showing the joint 200 in an "engaged" state.
Fig. 8 is similar to Fig. 7 , but showing the joint 200 in a "disengaged" state. Fig. 9 is the exploded sectional view of the joint 200.
From the above three drawings, it can be understood that the joint 200 of type two, which mainly comprises a first member 10', a second member 20, an engaging pin 30', several balls 40, a safety pin 50, and a protecting bellow 60, is quite similar in its structure to the first type of joint 100 described above. However, in the case of the joint 200 of type two, securing portions 33 and 34 are provided at both longitudinal ends of the engaging pin 30', instead of only at one end thereof. Besides, in the first member 10' of the joint 200, a small through hole 19A is opened from the central portion at the bottom of the hole 13 and extends in axial direction to again open at a small projection 19 which projects slightly from the end surface on the flange portion side.In an assembled state, as shown in Fig. 7 or 8, a controlling cable 6' which is connected at one end to the securing portion 33 of the engaging pin 30' is introduced through the hole 19A to the outside of the first member 10' for connecting the securing portion 34 of the engaging pin 30' in the next joint ( see also Figs. 10 and 11). A protecting bag 70' which is similar to the protecting bag 70 described above is also wrapped around the portion of the controlling cable 6' between two adjacent joints, with the two ends of the bag 70' being attached and sealed to the projections 29 and 29' respectively provided on the two joints.In this way, several such joints which are connected in series as, for example, in the case of a friction type earth anchor, can be controlled simultaneously by pulling only one controlling cable 6 which is connected at one end to the securing portion 34 of the engaging pin 30' in the outermost joint 200 and introduced at the other end to the ground surface (see also Figs. 3, 10 and 11). In Figs. 10 and 11, three joints 200 which are connected in series are shown in an engaged and disengaged states respectively. As illustrated in Fig. 10, a spring element 6A with appropriate spring constant is interposed in each controlling cable to prevent a premature transfer to a disengaged state due to unintentional or erroneous operation.When the outermost controlling cable 6 is pulled with a force capable of overcoming the shearing strength of the safety pin 50, the outermost joint 200 will be transferred to the disengaged state first as described above, then the followed joints will be transferred to the disengaged state one after another under the pulling action of the controlling cables connected between each pair of adjacent joints. Under this situation, wherein all of the joints are in a disengaged state, the free section of the friction type earth anchor can be recovered from the ground surface and the fixed section thereof can thereafter be broken at the disengaged joints into several short segments under the action of impacting force produced in a pile driving operation etc. Accordingly, the drawback of conventional earth anchors as described above can be solved by this invention.
Although reference is made throughout this specification to recoverable earth anchors, it will be appreciated that, in some of the embodiments of the present invention, part of the earth anchor will remain in the ground after the remainder has been recovered, and that, in others, that part of the earth anchor which remains in the ground may be broken up into several smaller parts. In all such latter embodiments that part of the earth anchor which remains in the ground need cause no significant disruption to subsequent construction work.
