Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、堤防に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
河川には、氾濫を防ぐために護岸が設けられている。しかし、地球温暖化等に伴う水位上昇により、現在の沿岸および河川護岸では高さが足りず、越流する可能性がある。
しかし、護岸の嵩上げは景観を悪化させる。さらに、近年は自然との共生の動きが強く、自然に近い状態のまま越流を防ぐ要求もある。
特開平8−284139、特開平10−280357には、河川水位に伴って堤体が浮上し、河川護岸の越流を防ぐ構造が提案されている。
図5、図6に示したものは従来の構造の一例である。符号1は河川に沿って形成された護岸であり、2は護岸1の内部に設けられた貯水槽である。貯水槽2の内部には堤体5が挿入されており、河川の水位が上がって水が貯水槽2内に入り込むと、堤体5が浮力によって上昇し、図6のように護岸1の上部よりせり上がり、越流を防ぐようになっている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の堤防では、氾濫が予想される全域の護岸に堤体を埋め込んでおく必要がある。このため工費が増大するとともに、全域に亘って護岸を中空にするため構造的に弱くなってしまうという問題があった。
【0004】
本発明は上記事情に鑑みて成されたものであり、工費を抑え、かつ護岸の強度低下を防ぐことができる堤体を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1に記載の堤体は、護岸の上に、該護岸の長手方向に沿って、支柱が間隔を隔てて複数配置され、これら支柱間に膜構造体が張られていることを特徴とする。
【0006】
この発明においては、支柱と、支柱間に張られた膜構造体により、膜構造体の高さまでの水位の水を支持することができる。支柱は固定式の他、着脱式や、通常は護岸の中に収納され、必要時に上昇させて使用することもできる。何れの場合でも、従来とは異なり護岸全体に堤体を埋め込んでおく必要はない。また、膜構造体はを着脱式としても良い。
【0007】
請求項2に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の堤防において、前記支柱は昇降することにより護岸中に収納可能であることを特徴とする。
【0008】
この発明においては、不使用時には支柱を護岸中に収納することで景観を悪化させない。使用時には支柱を地上に取り出すが、これは手動で行っても良いし、水位の上昇に伴う浮力、または、動力を用いて行う方式で行っても良い。
【0009】
請求項3に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の堤防において、前記膜構造体は、少なくともその上端部が前記各支柱の上部に固定されていることを特徴とする。
【0010】
本発明においては、膜構造体の上端部だけが支柱に固定されているため、支柱を収納した状態では膜構造体の下部は護岸の外に位置し、支柱が地上に出た状態では膜構造体は支柱につり下がった状態で水圧を受けて越流を防止する。
【0011】
請求項4に記載の発明は、請求項2または3に記載の堤防において、護岸中に空洞が設けられ、該空洞中に、複数の浮体構成体により構成された浮体が設けられ、前記浮体構成体は、内部に他の浮体構成体が入れ子状に内蔵され、最も内部の前記浮体構造体に前記支柱が設けられていることを特徴とする。
【0012】
本発明の浮体では、支柱は浮体の浮力によって上昇する。そして、本発明の浮体は、流体が空洞内に流入すると順次浮体構成体が上昇し、支柱を大きなストロークで昇降させることができる。したがって、護岸中に設ける空洞の体積を小さくすることができる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
図1は不使用時、図2は使用時の堤体の斜視図である。また、図3は不使用時、図4は使用時の堤体の断面図である。
各図において、符号10は河川の護岸、11は護岸10の内部に設けられた格納槽(空洞)である。護岸10の河川側側部には、格納槽11に通じる導水路12が設けられている。また、格納槽11の上方には護岸10の上部に開口する開口部13が設けられている。
格納槽11内には、不使用時に浮体15および支柱16が収納されている。図3のように浮体15は複数の浮体構成体15a、15b、15cより構成され、浮体構成体15aの内部には浮体構成体15bが内蔵され、さらに浮体構成体15bの内部には浮体構成体15cが入れ子状に内蔵されている。そして、河川の水が格納槽11内に流入すると、順次浮体構成体15a、15b、15cが上昇し、支柱16を大きなストロークで昇降させることができるようになっている。
このような格納槽11,浮体15,支柱16は、護岸10の長手方向に沿って間隔をあけて複数設けられている。
また、各支柱16の上端部が、それぞれ膜構造体18の上端部と固定されている。
【0014】
図1に示した不使用時においては、支柱16は格納槽11内に収納されている。膜構造体18は、格納槽11の外に露出して護岸10の上に敷かれた状態となっている。
図2及び図4に示したように、増水時には導水路12を通じて河川の水が格納槽11に流入する。浮体15は浮力により延び、支柱16は開口部13から露出する。膜構造体18は、上端が支柱16の上端と固定されているから、支柱16が開口部13から延びると、膜構造体18は各支柱16間に張られた状態となる。
これにより、増水した河川の水の圧力が膜構造体18および支柱16によって支持され、越流が防止される。
また、格納槽11を護岸10の長手方向全体に亘って設ける必要がなく、支柱16の位置する個所に離散して設けているため、護岸10の構造を弱くしてしまうこともない。
また、浮体構成体15a、15b、15cが順次上昇するから、格納槽11の高さ以上に支柱16を上昇させることができる。したがって、格納槽11の体積を小さくすることができるため、護岸の強度低下を防止することができる。
【0015】
なお、以下の変形例としても良い。
支柱16を昇降自在とせず、護岸10に露出した状態で固定されていることとしても良い。また、護岸10から着脱自在とし、使用時に支柱16を護岸10に取り付けることとしても良い。
さらにまた、上記の例においては浮体15によって支柱16を露出させる構成としたが、電動等の動力源を用いて駆動させるようにしても良い。
【0016】
また、膜構造体18は、不使用時は別個に保管しておき、使用時に支柱16に取り付けるようにしても良い。
また、支柱16だけではなく、膜構造体18をも護岸10中に収納自在としてもよい。
さらにまた、膜構造体18は上端だけを支柱16に対して固定するのに限らず、支柱16全体を膜構造体18と固定しても良い。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明においては以下の効果を得ることができる。
請求項1に記載の発明によれば、支柱と、支柱間に張られた膜構造体で水圧を支持する。これにより、護岸の長手方向全体に堤体を収納するための空洞を設ける必要がないため、工費を抑えることができ、護岸の強度低下も防ぐことができる。
請求項2に記載の発明によれば、不使用時には支柱を護岸中に収納することができるため、景観の悪化を防ぐことができる。
請求項3に記載の発明によれば、膜構造体の上端部だけが支柱に固定されているため、支柱を収納した状態では膜構造体の下部は護岸の外に位置し、支柱が地上に出た状態では膜構造体は支柱につり下がった状態で水圧を受けて越流を防止することができる。
請求項4に記載の発明によれば、浮体によって支柱を大きなストロークで昇降させることができる。したがって、護岸中に設ける空洞の体積を小さくすることができ、護岸の強度低下を防止することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to embankments.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Rivers are provided with seawalls to prevent flooding. However, due to rising water levels due to global warming and the like, the current coastal and river revetments are not high enough and may overflow.
However, raising the seawall worsens the landscape. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a strong demand for coexistence with nature, and there is also a demand for preventing overflow in a state close to nature.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. Hei 8-284139 and Hei 10-280357 propose a structure in which a levee body rises with a river water level to prevent overflow of a river bank.
5 and 6 show an example of a conventional structure. Reference numeral 1 denotes a revetment formed along the river, and reference numeral 2 denotes a water storage tank provided inside the revetment 1. A levee body 5 is inserted into the water tank 2, and when the water level of the river rises and water enters the water tank 2, the levee body 5 rises by buoyancy, and as shown in FIG. It rises more and prevents overflow.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned conventional embankment, it is necessary to embed the embankment in the revetment of the entire area where flooding is expected. For this reason, there was a problem that the construction cost was increased and the structural protection was weakened because the seawall was hollow throughout the entire area.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a levee body that can reduce construction costs and prevent a decrease in strength of a seawall.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The embankment according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of struts are arranged at intervals on the revetment along the longitudinal direction of the revetment, and a membrane structure is stretched between the struts. I do.
[0006]
In the present invention, the water at the water level up to the height of the membrane structure can be supported by the pillars and the membrane structure stretched between the pillars. The struts can be fixed, detachable, or usually housed in a revetment and raised when needed. In any case, it is not necessary to embed the embankment throughout the revetment unlike the conventional case. Further, the membrane structure may be of a detachable type.
[0007]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the embankment according to the first aspect, the support can be stored in a revetment by moving up and down.
[0008]
In this invention, the landscape is not degraded by storing the pillars in the revetment when not in use. At the time of use, the column is taken out to the ground, but this may be performed manually, or may be performed by buoyancy accompanying a rise in water level or by a method using power.
[0009]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the embankment of the first aspect, at least an upper end of the membrane structure is fixed to an upper part of each of the columns.
[0010]
In the present invention, since only the upper end of the membrane structure is fixed to the support, the lower part of the membrane structure is located outside the revetment when the support is stored, and the membrane structure is provided when the support is on the ground. The body receives water pressure while suspended on the column to prevent overflow.
[0011]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the embankment of the second or third aspect, a cavity is provided in the revetment, and a floating body composed of a plurality of floating body structures is provided in the hollow, and the floating body structure is provided. The body is characterized in that another floating body structure is nested therein, and the pillar is provided in the innermost floating body structure.
[0012]
In the floating body of the present invention, the column is raised by the buoyancy of the floating body. In the floating body according to the present invention, when the fluid flows into the cavity, the floating body structure is sequentially raised, and the column can be raised and lowered with a large stroke. Therefore, the volume of the cavity provided in the revetment can be reduced.
[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the embankment when not in use, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the embankment when in use. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the embankment when not in use, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the embankment when in use.
In each of the drawings, reference numeral 10 denotes a river revetment, and reference numeral 11 denotes a storage tank (cavity) provided inside the revetment 10. On the river side of the revetment 10, a headrace channel 12 leading to the storage tank 11 is provided. Above the storage tank 11, an opening 13 that opens to the upper part of the revetment 10 is provided.
The floating body 15 and the support 16 are stored in the storage tank 11 when not in use. As shown in FIG. 3, the floating body 15 is composed of a plurality of floating body structures 15a, 15b, and 15c. 15c are nested. When the water of the river flows into the storage tank 11, the floating body structures 15a, 15b, 15c are sequentially raised, so that the column 16 can be raised and lowered with a large stroke.
A plurality of such storage tanks 11, floating bodies 15, and columns 16 are provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the seawall 10.
Further, the upper end of each column 16 is fixed to the upper end of the membrane structure 18.
[0014]
When not in use as shown in FIG. 1, the column 16 is stored in the storage tank 11. The membrane structure 18 is exposed outside the storage tank 11 and is laid on the revetment 10.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the water of the river flows into the containment tank 11 through the headrace channel 12 when the water is increased. The floating body 15 is extended by buoyancy, and the column 16 is exposed from the opening 13. Since the upper end of the film structure 18 is fixed to the upper end of the column 16, when the column 16 extends from the opening 13, the film structure 18 is put between the columns 16.
As a result, the pressure of the increased river water is supported by the membrane structure 18 and the support 16, and overflow is prevented.
Moreover, since the storage tank 11 does not need to be provided over the entire length of the revetment 10 and is provided discretely at the position where the support 16 is located, the structure of the revetment 10 is not weakened.
In addition, since the floating body structures 15a, 15b, and 15c are sequentially raised, the columns 16 can be raised to a height higher than the height of the storage tank 11. Therefore, since the volume of the storage tank 11 can be reduced, the strength of the revetment can be prevented from lowering.
[0015]
Note that the following modified examples may be used.
The support 16 may not be movable up and down, but may be fixed in a state of being exposed on the revetment 10. Moreover, it is good also as making it detachable from the revetment 10 and attaching the support | pillar 16 to the revetment 10 at the time of use.
Further, in the above example, the support 16 is configured to be exposed by the floating body 15, but the support 16 may be driven using a power source such as electric power.
[0016]
The membrane structure 18 may be stored separately when not in use, and may be attached to the support 16 when in use.
Further, not only the support 16 but also the membrane structure 18 may be accommodated in the revetment 10.
Furthermore, not only the upper end of the film structure 18 is fixed to the support 16, but the entire support 16 may be fixed to the film structure 18.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the water pressure is supported by the columns and the membrane structure stretched between the columns. Thus, since it is not necessary to provide a cavity for accommodating the embankment in the entire length of the revetment, the construction cost can be reduced, and the strength of the revetment can be prevented from lowering.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the columns can be stored in the revetment when not in use, so that the landscape can be prevented from deteriorating.
According to the third aspect of the invention, since only the upper end of the membrane structure is fixed to the support, the lower portion of the membrane structure is located outside the seawall when the support is stored, and the support is located on the ground. When it comes out, the membrane structure can be prevented from overflowing by receiving water pressure while being suspended from the support.
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the column can be raised and lowered with a large stroke by the floating body. Therefore, the volume of the cavity provided in the revetment can be reduced, and the strength of the revetment can be prevented from lowering.
