SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a construction in the form of a cohesive mass for entrenchment, which has a face or support surface with wire mesh and a granular compactable filling with stabilizing elements projecting horizontally towards the filling from the face or surface. frontal. The face or front support surface is comprised of panels of modular form which form a mosaic configuration that makes possible the construction of the wall without adjacent panels that serve to facilitate and support the adjacent panels. The connection of the stabilizing elements to the front panels is carried out through a quick coupling and the fixing of the connector of the manual bar. A manual rod connector is used to connect a part emptied in place on the front wall, to the front panels and to the cohesive mass formation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improved entrenchment with a face or bearing surface, with a wire mesh, or with a face or bearing surface with a wire mesh, having a bearing surface emptied in place. The construction of entrenchments that use tensile elements for the stabilization of the earth, arranging or distributing such tension elements generally horizontally in the form of cohesive mass for entrenchment or the mass of particulate material, is taught in several Vidal patents, including the Vidal Patent No. 3, 421, 326; and No. 3, 686, 873 and others. Such entrenchment dough is then comprised of tensioning elements or, alternatively, anchoring elements in combination with various types of pre-molded panels or other supporting surface elements defining a front face of the ditch or earthwork dough. For example, an alternative for the use of the panel elements is described in several patents including the Hilfiker Patent No. 4, 1 1 7, 686. There, a face construction or frontal support surface, with a mesh or wire mesh, is described in combination with a method of rock filling against the back side of the face or front support surface with wire mesh. The face or support surface with wire mesh and the earth stabilizing tensioning elements may comprise a continuous L-shaped grid, as described, for example, in Hilfiker Patent No. 4,505,621. The layers of the L-shaped grids, in combination with the layers of the particulate material, can then define a cohesive mass mass form, with a face or support surface with wire mesh. Several such construction classes are also described in Pagano et al., In Patent No. 4,961,673. These prior art constructions, particularly those which use or utilize a front face or support surface with wire mesh, are especially useful for temporary structures although it is possible to manufacture such a form of cohesive mass for entrenchment as a generally permanent structure. The ease of construction of such a form of cohesive mass for entrenchment is often complicated because the wire mesh shapes used for construction are large, bulky and sometimes difficult to handle. Accordingly, a need has developed for a construction in the form of cohesive dough for entrenchment, improved, which uses or has a face or support surface with wire mesh. The present invention comprises such a construction and a method for such construction.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Briefly, the present invention comprises a construction in the form of a cohesive mass for entrenchment, having a face or front support surface with wire mesh, and a compactable, granular filling, which jointly defines the form of cohesive mass for entrenchment. , three-dimensional. The generally flat front face extends upward from a reference plane or foundation. The flat front face has a face or support surface of wire mesh, which is connected to the anchoring elements or tensioners, stabilizers, which project towards the forms of cohesive mass for entrenchment, and interact with the particulate material that forms the cohesive mass The stabilizing elements projecting towards the cohesive mass form for entrenchment, are fixed to the face or support surface with wire mesh, to facilitate the retention of the material of the face or support surface on the form of cohesive mass. The stabilizing elements also provide stability to the particulate material which forms the shape or shape of the cohesive mass. A feature of the invention is the use of rectangular panels, generally modulators, of uniform height and length, to form the face or support surface with wire mesh, frontal, of the cohesive mass form for entrenchment. The panels are arranged or arranged so that the adjacent panels are placed vertically juxtaposed with each other.Thus, during the construction process of the cohesive mass form for entrenchment, the support surface panels, frontally, alternated horizontally, they serve to connect with and to support the face panel or support surface between them.As a result, the panels of the face or support surface with wire mesh, generally flat, can be maintained in a vertical condition during the process of construction as stabilizing elements of the earth that are fixed to the face panels or frontal support surface, and The filling is compacted under these face panels or support surface. The panels of the face or support surface, distributed vertically adjacent to each other, form a continuous column of panels of generally uniform width. The stabilizing elements of the earth, preferably comprise a pair of parallel arms, tensioning elements which are interafied with the panels of the face or support surface, frontal, by means of a manual fixing bar which is connected simultaneously with each pair of tensile elements. The tensile elements can consequently be extended in the form of cohesive dough for entrenchment, to provide a cohesive dough form for entrenchment, mechanically stabilized. The adjacent panels can be inter-confined to each other through the cooperative interaction of the stabilizing elements and the construction of the manual fixing bar with the face or support surface with wire mesh, of the adjacent panels. The stabilizing elements and the manual fixing bar not only connect the tensioning elements to the panels of the face or support surface, but also serves to facilitate the interconnection of panels with wire mesh with an adjacent face or support surface. The stabilizing elements which project towards the cohesive dough form for entrenchment, can be of different lengths and of different configurations to avoid the formation of protuberances or other distortions in the elements of the panel. They can also be used at a larger or smaller density in the form of a cohesive mass. Accordingly, the face or support surface with wire mesh can be designed in the customary manner and engineered to ensure a flat front face surface. The constructions of manual bar for fixing, alternatives, are described including a construction which projects outwards from the face panels or support surface, whereby a concrete face or bearing surface may be molded or cast in place against the panels of the face or support surface, connected to them through the manual bars. Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide a construction for entrenchment with a face or support surface with wire mesh, wherein the face or support surface is comprised of a series of rectangularly shaped panels of generally uniform size . Still a further object of the invention is to provide a construction in the form of a cohesive mass for entrenchment, which can incorporate stabilized elements of varying size and configuration, to ensure a face or frontal support surface, uniform for the mass form cohesive Still another object of the invention is to provide a construction in the form of a cohesive mass for entrenchment, having a face or support surface with wire mesh, which is comprised of component parts that are manufactured, stored, shipped and assembled easily due to to that the majority of the component parts are flat panels and accessories to facilitate such construction, storage, shipping and assembly.

Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved construction and method of construction for a cohesive mass form for entrenchment, having a face or support surface with wire mesh, which can be assembled easily and quickly with a minimum amount of machinery and human work. Still a further object of the invention, is to provide an improved, cohesive duct form for entrenchment, having a face or bearing surface with wire mesh, which incorporates a unique means for interconnecting the tension elements in the entrenchment dough, to the front panel elements comprising the face or support surface with wire mesh. Still another object of the invention, is to interconnect face panels or support surface in such a way that the tension in the panels of the face or support surface, can be passed to panels of the face or support surface, adjacent, vertical and horizontally, and thus to prevent bulging outwardly of the face or support surface. Still another object of the invention is to interconnect panels of the face or support surface, adjacent, vertically, to allow vertical sliding and consequently accommodate consolidation of the floor adjacent the face or support surface.

Another object of the invention is to provide a wall construction of the type generally described in combination with a molded part in place of the face or front support surface. Another object of the invention is to provide means for connecting a face or support surface with wire mesh, in a cohesive mass form for entrenchment, with a molded part in the place of the face or frontal support surface. These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be described in greater detail later.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITY General view Figures 1 and 2 show, in general, a typical cohesive dough form 10 for entrenchment, embodying the invention. Specifically, the form of cohesive mass 10 for entrenchment, is defined by a reference plane 12, lower, a face or support surface 14 with a grid or wire mesh, frontal, a boundary or lateral rear border 16, internal, and an upper surface 18. The cohesive mass form includes a particulate material 20 which is generally compacted and which interacts with stabilizing elements 22 dispersed throughout the cohesive mass form 10 from the upper surface 18 to the reference plane 12 and which it extends laterally from the face or front support surface 14 generally horizontally towards the rear side boundary 16. The boundary 16 abuts a cut ground surface or the adjacent retained fill material. The stabilizing elements 22 may be of non-uniform length. They typically extend up to the full distance from the front face 14 to the rear side border 16. However, in numerous cases, as will be described in more detail below, the stabilizer elements 22 may extend from the front face 14 partially toward the rear lateral border 16. In most cases, the stabilizing elements 22 are fixed to the face or front support surface 14. The stabilizing elements 22 are typically tensioning elements which interact, at least in part by means of friction, with the compacted particulate material 20. However, anchoring elements and other stabilizing elements can be used as the interactive stabilizing mechanism with the particulate material 20 which is part of the cohesive mass form 10. Figure 2 illustrates the general components which they comprise the face or supporting surface 14 of the cohesive mass form 10. The components include a base component 24 which has a panel 27 with wire mesh, vertical and a panel 25 with wire mesh, horizontal. The horizontal wire mesh panel 25 is placed on the reference plane 12. The face or front support surface 14 also includes full-size rectangular panels 26, generally flat, and panels 28 of intermediate size, which generally also they are rectangular and which have a vertical extension of approximately half the vertical extent of the panels 26. The panels 26 and 28, as well as the base component 24, comprise a grid mechanism of wire mesh or reinforcing bars. Accordingly, the grid mechanism is comprised of wires and rods arranged or distributed generally at right angles to each other to form a cross-shaped, rectangular pattern. However, the particular configuration for the formation of the panels 24, 26, 28 is not a limiting feature of the invention. The full-size panel 26 and the intermediate-sized panel 28 are preferably rectangular in shape and have dimensions that make it possible for them to be transported and shipped easily on a flat platform pallet or truck. For example, full-size panels 26 will typically have a width of the order of 2.74 meters (nine (9) feet) and a height of the order of 101.6 cm (forty (40) inches). The panels 26, 28 are therefore generally modular in their configuration and rectangular as described. Figure 2 shows, in various positions on the Figure, the cross-stitch configuration of separate wires and rods, which form the panels 26, 28. Cross-streaking is excluded from most of Figure 2 for the purpose of improving the clarity of the description. The remaining Figures that show the panels, describe the entire network of rods and wires that are interconnected to form panels 26, 28. Typically, the rods or wires have a spacing of 7.62 cm (three (3) inches) up to 12.7 cm (five (5) inches) em both directions and comprise reinforcing bars of various sizes, for example, W8 grade reinforcing bars. The upper portion of Figure 1 shows a construction where the drawing shows two alternative embodiments in a single structure. It was noted that this description is for illustration purposes, since the alternative modalities are not normally combined. Instead, they normally exist separately as single, cohesive mass forms. Referring again to Figure 1 for temporary structures, the front face 14 typically includes a filter cloth layer 30 on the inner side thereof, which keeps the particulate material 20 of small grain size, within the dough form cohesive 10 for entrenchment. For permanent structures, it is appropriate to include an extra sieve 21 on the inside of the front face positioned against the inside of the front face 14 to improve the retention of coarse or coarse particulate material 23 within the cohesive mass form 10. Filter cloth 30 is placed between coarse or coarse particulate material 23 and particulate material 20 of small grain size, and is optional. It will be noted with reference to Figure 2, that the panels 24, 26 and 28 define a series of generally vertical, collateral columns, wherein the edges of the panels 24, 26 and 28 are aligned vertically. Panels such as panels 26, however, are not aligned horizontally, instead they are offset to half the height of the panel. Accordingly, the non-adjacent panels 26 are aligned and are connected to a panel 26 between them, and serve to support this panel 26 during the construction of the cohesive mass form 10 in a manner to be described in greater detail subsequently. . An important aspect of the construction is the fact that the rectangular panels 26 are alternating in the manner or configuration shown in Figure 2, so that during the construction operation, the non-adjacent panels serve to support adjacent panels when the The cohesive mass form for entrenchment is then constructed and the elevation thereof is increased during the construction operation. The medium-sized panels 28 therefore serve to activate or start as well as to stop each vertical column of the panels.

Base component Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a base component 24. The base component 24 includes a generally horizontal support section 25 and a generally vertical front section 27. The base component 24 is formed by L-shaped rods or rails 36, which define the height of the section 27 of the front face, and the horizontal extension of the horizontal section 25. Typically, the length of the horizontal section 25 is equal to or more smaller than the height of section 27 of the front face. The cross bars 38 are coupled with the stringers 36 to complete the formation of the base panel 24. The cross bars 38 are arranged or distributed in preferred configurations as shown in Figures 3 and 4. That is, the cross bars 38 attached to the section horizontal 25 are generally equally spaced and are also placed on the upper surface or the internal part of the stiles 36. The horizontal section 25 is placed on the reference plane 12 during the construction process. The cross bars 38 along the section 34 of the front face are arranged or distributed on the inside of the side members 36 in a spaced configuration. At appropriate intervals, the cross bars 38 are positioned closely adjacent to each other as shown. Typically the spacing of the two transverse bars 38 spaced apart more closely, is of the order of about 2.54 cm (one (1) inch). The cross bars 38 are otherwise spaced apart from the order of 7.62 cm (three (3) inches) to 12.7 cm (five (5) inches). The side members 36 are spaced laterally from each other at a distance of the order of 7.62 cm (three (3) inches) to 15.24 cm (six (6) inches). In this way, the base component provides a network or configuration of reinforcing bars having a configuration for the section 27 of the front face, as shown in Figure 4.

Front Face Panels Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 show the general construction of panels 26 and 28, respectively. Figures 5 and 6 show the construction of the full size panel 26. Figures 7 and 8 show the general construction of the medium size panel 28. First it was noted that the width of all the panels 26 and 28 as well as the base component 24 is substantially the same. Accordingly, the panels 26, 28 and the base components 24 can be arranged or distributed in vertical columns as shown in Figure 2. However, the arrangement of vertical columns is not a limiting feature of the invention although it is preferred for purposes of carrying out the construction of the cohesive mass form 10. That is, the variable modular widths of the panels 26, 28 can be used to create a mosaic of panel sizes for the front face 14. The panels 26 and 28 are related because the panel 28 is generally at half the height of the panel 26. This modulating ratio of the height ratio can be varied according to the requirements of the construction. The preferred embodiment implements the described proportion. Typically, the full size panel 26 has a height of the order of 101.6 cm (forty (40) inches). The panel of average size will consequently have a height of the order of 50.8 cm (twenty (20) inches). The full-size panel 26 includes stringers 40 with vertical reinforcement bar, which include a vertical straight section 42 and a hook-shaped end 44, curved or superior. The incorporation of an upper end hook 44 is optional. The horizontal crossbars 46 are fixed to the beam 40 to form the configuration shown in Figure 5. The horizontal reinforcing bars 48 are arranged or distributed in pairs, and are also fixed to the stringers 40 that include a fixation along the the base of the panel 26. The reinforcing bars 48 are closely aligned in the order of 2.54 cm (one (1) inch) of spacing between s The totality of the bars 40, 46 and 48 are welded together to form the configuration of the panel 26 as shown in Figure 6. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the medium-sized panel 28 also includes vertical spars 50 having a vertical section 52 and one end with hook form 54 upper. The hook-shaped end 54 is optional. The vertical section 52 is about half the length of the section 42 associated with the panel 26. The hook 54, however, is substantially the same size and configuration as the hook 44. The crossbars 56 are arranged or distributed in an arrangement horizontal and spaced with each other. Cross bars 58 spaced approximately 2.54 cm (one inch) apart are provided at intervals on the face of panel 28 and at the base of panel 28. Figure 8 shows the configuration or network which is created by virtue of the arrangement of several crossbars 56, '58 and spars 50.

Stabilizing elements Figures 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 illustrate the stabilizing elements and various aspects of their incorporation in the form of a cohesive mass 10 for entrenchment. Referring first to Figure 9, there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of a stabilizing element 22. The stabilizing element includes a first tension arm 60, a second tension arm 62 generally parallel both of which are formed from a reinforcing bar which has a curled or curved end 64 for the tension arm 60 and the end 66 for the tension arm 62. In this preferred embodiment of the stabilizer element 22, the tension arms 60, 62 extend outwards as a continuation of the same bar reinforcer and are interconnected by transverse elements or transverse bars 68 at spaced intervals. The transverse elements 68 have the purpose of maintaining the arms 62 and 60 in a parallel network. Additionally, the transverse elements 68 are preferably arranged or distributed so that their presence is maintained in the so-called resistive area or range of the cohesive mass form 10 for entrenchment, wherein the cohesive mass form 10 is constructed in accordance with mechanically stabilized ground or ground technology of the type referred to in the Vidal patents referred to herein. Typically, the stabilizing elements 22 extend from the front face 14 of the cohesive mass form 10 to the front 16 border. However, a number of stabilizing elements 22 can be reduced and still included in the construction. The reduced stabilizing elements 22 are useful for coupling or stabilizing the panels 26 and 28 of the front face and ensuring that the panels 26, 28 are hermetically retained in the form of cohesive mass 10 to maintain the flat panels 26, 28, and consequently they provide a flat face or front support surface 14. The stabilizing elements 22 cooperatively couple the panel members 26 and 28 by means of a manual bar connector shown in Figure 12. The manual bar connector 72 includes a transverse section 74 which when included in The shape of the cohesive mass 10 is arranged or distributed in a generally parallel manner with respect to the facial face 14 and the inner part of the face 14 within the shape of the cohesive mass 10. The hook-shaped ends 76 and 78 connect with the cross section 74.

The hook-shaped ends 76 and 78 cooperate respectively with the loops or rings 64 and 66 of the stabilizing element 22 as shown in Figure 9 as well as in Figures 10 and 10A. That is, referring to the Figures and 1 OA, the stabilizing element 22 and, more particularly, the loop or ring 66 of the tension arm 62, is fitted through a groove in the fabric 30 and in the front face 14 and, more particularly, between the cross bars of reinforcement 48 which are welded or fixed to the vertical spars 40. The hook-shaped end 78 of the hand bar connector 72 is then guided from the rear side of the front face 14 onto the reinforcing bars 48 and through the loop or ring 66 ,. Figure 10 shows the connection described in the intermediate panel. Figure 1 OA shows the connection described at the junction of the adjacent panels vertically. The tensioning arm 62 is generally in tension and tends to retain the stabilizing element 22 tightly or rigidly against the front face 14 or, in other words, against the panel 26. The connector 72 of the manual bar, ensures that the stabilizing element 22 and the front panel 26, remain connected together. The figure 11 shows the manner in which the stabilizing element 22 is oriented with respect to the front face 14 during construction. The stabilizing element 22 extends substantially horizontally towards the cohesive mass form 10 and retains the front face 14 vertically aligned appropriately.

Construction Method Figures 14 to 23 illustrate the sequential steps in the construction of a typical cohesive duct form for entrenchment using the described components of the invention. Referring first to Figure 14, which is a side cross-sectional view of the base component 24, initially the reference plane 12 for entrenchment, is established. Typically, the reference plane 12 is a generally planar surface which is created by means of proper compaction and leveling of the soil. The reference plane 12 defines a flat surface which extends from the region of the front face 14 of the entrenchment, rearwardly to the rear side border 16. Typically, the base components 24 are arranged or distributed along a line which is desired for the front wall. Additionally, the base components 24 are laterally connected to each other by means of steel rings or other securing means which connect the base components 24 particularly along the vertical portion 27 of the side members 36. The horizontal section 25 may also be interconnected if the wall is going to be a straight wall. However, if the wall is curved in a concave manner, the horizontal beams 36 can not be connected, except by some means or elements of articulation or linkage. However, such a connection is not required. As the next step in the construction, a full-size panel 26, illustrated in Figure 15 or a medium-sized panel 28 as shown in Figure 15A, is attached to the base components 24. The full-size and medium sizes 26 and 28, alternating, are fixed to adjacent base components 24 so that the height of the panels 26 and 28, varies along the front face 14. Typically, the vertical panels 26 and 28 are initially fixed to the stretch vertical 27 of the base component 24 by means of rings or the like or other connection means. Figures 16 and 16A illustrate the use of panels 26 and 28 of different heights, which are still related in a modular fashion, to each other, because their vertical heights are related. The panels of Figures 16 and 16A are larger panels than those of Figures 15 and 15A. Figures 16 and 16A are therefore included to demonstrate that panels 26 and 28 of various modular heights can be used in the practice of the invention.

The next step in the construction method or process is to insert a filter cloth 30 as an inner liner with respect to the panels 26 and / or 28. This is illustrated in Figure 17. Slits should be cut through the filter cloth. 30, adjacent to the cross bars, such as the crossbars 48. Referring now to Figure 18, a first layer of particulate material or granular filler 20, which covers the base component 24, as well as the filter cloth 30 which has a horizontal section on the base component 24, is placed downward and compacted. The particulate material 20 is angled downward toward the front surface 14 as shown in the cross section. Referring to Figure 19, a stabilizing element 22 or a series of stabilizing elements 22, are placed on the particulate material 20 and the hooks or loops or rings 64 and 66 are inserted between the transverse bars 48 and, of course, the grooves in the filter cloth 30. The hand bar connector 72 is then inserted through the loops or rings 64 and 66 in the manner shown in Figures 9 and 10. The stabilizing elements 22 will be pulled internally towards the cohesive mass shape 10. for entrenchment, to vertically align panels 26 or 28 appropriately, depending on the case in question. Referring next to FIGS. 20 and 20A, there is illustrated the subsequent step wherein an additional layer or path of granular filling or particulate material is provided., is added on the stabilizing element 22. Figure 20 illustrates * this addition with respect to the full size panel 26. Figure 20A illustrates this step with respect to a panel of medium size. Note in this case that the particulate material 20 is filled in the area of the base of the entrenchment to at least the horizontal line established by the stabilizing element 22. Figure 21 illustrates the next step in the process of layer-on-layer construction. compacted granular material 20 within which the stabilizing elements 22 are projected from the front face 14 of the mesh. In this step, for purposes of illustration, a medium-sized panel 28 has been placed in combination with the base component 24. Therefore, it is necessary to place a full size panel 26, on top of the first medium size panel 28 . This is done by placing the full size panel 26 as illustrated with interrupted lines, so that the lower cross bars 48 will be adjusted under the hook 54. Then the panel 26 is raised so that the cross bars 48 are adjusted in the flex or fold defined by the hook 54. The panels 26 adjacent to the panel 26, illustrated in Figure 1, will extend up to one-half the height of the panel 26. Accordingly, the adjacent panels 26 may be connected to the panel 26 illustrated in Figure 21 to support the panel 26 in the solid position illustrated in Figure 21. This interconnection is effected by means of the insertion of the loops or rings 64 and 66 through the enlarged cross bars 48 of the panel elements 26 adjacent. This articulation or crossing over the stabilizing elements 22 for coupling the horizontally adjacent panel elements 26, is illustrated in Figure 2 by the transverse connections numbered 80. These cross-shaped connections 80, represent the coupling of a stabilizing element 22 with panels 26 and / or 28 adjacent horizontally. During any of these construction steps, it may be desirable to use other fasteners or fasteners to connect the various panels 24, 26 and 28. However, because the panels 26, 28 with a generally flat wire rod are being used instead of the L-shaped panels, and the generally flat stabilizing elements 22 are used in conjunction therewith, the ease of assembly of the cohesive mass form 10 is improved, and can proceed without the use of a large equipment to move the various component parts.

Referring next to Figure 22, there is illustrated the addition of a subsequent layer of particulate material 20 as well as the addition of an additional stabilizer element 22, in combination with the additional front panel 26. Note that after panel 26 has been In addition, an appropriate filter cloth 30, or an additional screen or screen is provided on the back side of the panel 26. Figure 23 illustrates a further layering of several layers of particulate materials 20 and stabilizing elements 22. It should be noted that stabilizing elements 22 need not be included in combination with each and in each position of the cross bars 48. Furthermore, the stabilizing elements 22 can be arranged or distributed such that the length of a stabilizing element 22 which extends towards the form of cohesive mass 10 for entrenchment, can be varied from layer to layer or in each of the layers, depending on of design considerations. Note also with reference to Figures 13 and 13A, that the alternative stabilizing elements 22 can be used. That is, referring to Figures 13 and 13A, the tension arms 60 and 62 can be interconnected by a transverse member 65. Set to this transverse member 65, other types of stabilizing elements may be such as a rigid bar or strap 67 in Figure 13, or a flexible belt 71 on a plate 69 generally curved in Figure 13A, or anchoring means or other means which will allow the construction of the cohesive mass form 10, Emptying Mode, in its Place of the Face or Area of Support Referring now to Figures 24 to 27, there is shown an embodiment of the invention wherein the cohesive mass form 10 for entrenchment, is constructed in combination with a front part emptied in place. That is, as shown in Figure 24, the stabilizing elements 22, generally of the type previously described, are retained within the particulate material 20 and include loop or ring ends 90, which are fitted through or between the horizontal reinforcing bars. 92 and 94 welded to or fixed to the vertical reinforcing bars 96 of a panel 98 of the front face or bearing surface. A special hand rod connector 100, which is shown in greater detail in Figures 25 to 27, is fitted through the ends 90 of the loop or ring of the stabilizing elements 22, by means of which it retains the elements stabilizers 22 in place relative to the panel 98 of the face or bearing surface. The connector 100 of the hand bar also projects outward from the panel 98 of the face or support surface. It is formed to support the horizontal reinforcing bars 102 and 104. An aggregate, such as the concrete 106, is then emptied in place, against the front panel elements 98. The aggregate encapsulates the manual rod connector 100 as well as reinforcement bars 102 and 104. Thus, the cohesive dough form 10 for entrenchment of the invention, which includes a face or support surface with wire mesh, may also include a wall 106 emptied in place, of concrete , for example. The connector 100 of the hand bar, in this mode serves for a plurality of functions including the retention of the stabilizing elements 22, the fixing of the stabilizing elements 22 with respect to the face or support surface 98 of the front panel, for the support of additional reinforcing elements 102 and 104, and for the reinforcement of the wall 10'6 emptied in its place. Referring next to Figure 25, there is shown in more detail the connector 100 of the hand bar, shown in Figure 24. The connector 100 of the hand bar includes a connection coring 107, spaced vertically depending on the legs 108 and 110 joined by the crown 107, the horizontally spaced, outwardly extending sections 112 and 114 and the terminal sections 116 and 118, which extend vertically upwards. The vertical sections 108 and 110 are adjusted or fitted through the loop or ring ends 90 of the tensioning elements 22. This is effected by screwing or inserting initially the terminal sections 116 and 118 through the loops or rings 90 and then reorienting the connector 100 to the position illustrated in Figures 24 and 25. Note that the crown 107 coactuates with the ends of the loops or rings 90 to space the tension members 22 at an appropriate distance, and to retain the tension members 22 in its position relative to the panel 98 of the face or support surface. The horizontal sections 112 and 114 serve to support the reinforcing elements 102 and 104 which are inside the wall 106 emptied in place. Figures 26 and 27 are top and side views respectively of the manual bar connector 100, shown in the isometric view of Figure 25.

Characteristics and Alternative Constructions Typically the manual bar connector 1 00 is made of a storage material for reinforcing bar. Several other hand bar connectors can be used to fix two or more stabilizing elements in the manner described. The configuration of the manual rod connector 1 00 can thus be varied. There are other constructions and alternative features of the invention, which can be used. For example, the particular configuration of the wire rods or the reinforcing bars that can compose the separate panels 26 and 28 can be varied although the particular configuration described is preferred. Importantly, the generally rectangular shape of the panels 26 and 28 is a feature of the invention, which makes it possible to construct the means for interconnecting the stabilizing elements 22 with the panels 26, 28. the stabilizing elements 22 can be varied significantly. The tensioning elements as well as the anchoring elements and the combinations thereof, can constitute the stabilizing elements. The relative heights of the panels 26, 28 can be varied. Preferably, panels 26, 28 should be of a planar construction. The use of the base components 24 is the only part of the construction which is generally not flat. The dimensions of the base components 24, however, are chosen to minimize the problems of storage, movement and construction because the base components 24 are the only L-shaped component, among the components used to realize the shape of cohesive mass 10 Another important feature of the invention is the adjustability and ease of mounting of the panels of the face or support surface, as a result of the sliding corrections of the adjacent panels vertically to each other. Another important feature of the invention is the use of the stabilizing elements 22 that not only couple the panels 26 but interconnect the adjacent panels allowing the transfer of the tension to the adjacent panels horizontally. The connectors or alternative hand bar constructions are also useful in the practice of the invention. Figure 28 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the construction of the invention, wherein the form 10 of cohesive mass for entrenchment, is comprised of vertical panels sized and shaped generally as previously described. However, with the entrenchment panels shown in Figure 28, the vertical bars engaged, on the upper edges of each of the panels, have been eliminated. Accordingly, for example, a first vertical panel 150 includes a horizontal transverse bar 152 along the upper edge which is welded to several vertical bar elements 154, spaced apart, for example. The simple horizontal crossbars 152 are thus arranged or distributed at spaced intervals of the panel 150. The vertical elements 154 have also been welded to the horizontal reinforcing crossbars 155. The cross bars 155 are spaced approximately 2.54 cm (one (1) inch) in the manner previously described. A first set of crossbars 155 are located closely adjacent to the upper crossbar 152 for the panel 150. Similarly, the horizontally adjacent wall panel 156 includes a reinforcing crossbar 158 upper, which is welded to vertical elements or bars 160, spaced apart. Other horizontal crossbars 158 spaced apart, are provided. Note that the double reinforcing transverse bars 162, closely spaced, which are arranged or distributed in sets having a horizontal network, they are also welded to the vertical bars 160 of the panel 156. Similarly, a first set of horizontal crossbars 162 are placed closely adjacent to the upper part of the panel 156. The stabilizing elements 164, which have loop-shaped ends or ring 165 and a general configuration as previously described, fit or fit through the reinforcing cross bars 155 and / or 162 in a manner to be described. Vertical panels, such as panels 150 and 156, are connected together by tie wires or bows or other means connecting vertical bars 154, 160 of the adjacent side panel, during the manufacturing process. Referring now to Figure 29, there is illustrated the manner in which the stabilizing elements 164 are placed between the reinforcing transverse bars 162, for example. Accordingly, a panel 156 which includes the reinforcing transverse bars 162 receives the ringed ends 165 therebetween. A fabric 166 for retaining the floor, which is placed on the inside of the panel 156, has a slot 168 cut through it so that the ringed end 165 can be fitted therethrough. Figure 30 illustrates the manner in which a connector of the type shown generally in Figure 10 is positioned for engagement with the stabilizer element 164 and the panel 156. Accordingly, a connector 170 is positioned between the tissue 166 for retention of the floor and panel 156 in sequential series of positions illustrated with dashed lines in Figure 30. Connector ends 172 are fitted or fitted through the ringed ends 165 and over the cross bars 162 in the manner shown. The stabilizing element or the reinforcing strip 164 can then be pulled tightly against the connector 170 to provide the shown assembly as shown in Figure 28. The sequential mounting steps that are followed, referring to Figure 30, are : the upper edge of the fabric 166 for retention of the floor, is pulled away from the panel or the face or support surface 156. A connector 170 is then inserted adjacent to the tissue 166 in the rings or loops 165. The connection is secured by means of the firm pull on the stabilizing element 164 until the connector 170 is coupled with both of the horizontal reinforcing bars 162, double. The connection is completed when the portion 171 of the transverse bar of the connector 170 is located close to the vertical bars 160. Figure 31 is a top plan view of the construction of Figure 30. The connection is shown in its final position as seen from above. Figure 32 illustrates the connection of vertically adjacent panels or grids, such as panels 156, by means of connector 170 that co-acts with adjacent panels. This is a modality generally of the type shown in Figure 28, which removes the hooks associated with the vertical rods 160. For example, the hooks 44 in Figure 5 are not used in the embodiment of Figures 28 and 32. Referring to Figure 32, the connector 170 is positioned through a panel 156A placed above a second internal panel 156B. The upper panel 156A has its lower edge within the upper edge of the lower panel 156B. The connector 170 includes arms or end hooks 173 which are engaged through the end rings or loops 165 in the manner previously described. The lower horizontal bar 158A of the inner panel 156A is positioned below the stabilizing member or member 164. The next adjacent horizontal bar 158B is positioned above the stabilizing element 164. The stabilizing element 164 is therefore between the horizontal bars spaced apart 158A and 158B of the internal panel or the upper panel 156A. This provides a vertical range of movement of upper panel 156 with respect to lower panel 156 during the assembly process. This range is limited by the crossbars 158A and 158B illustrated in Figure 32. Note that there are no closely spaced reinforcing bars 162 (at one (1) inch spacing) adjacent to the bottom of panel 156A. The loops or rings 165 fit between the horizontal crossbars 162, spaced slightly, of the lower outer panel 156B and coact with the connector as previously described. In this way, the connector 170 and the stabilizing element coact with both panels 156A, 156B to hold them or hold them together. Referring now to Figure 33, there is shown an enlarged section of the construction of panel 180 with wire mesh, used for the front face of the cohesive mass form for entrenchment. As shown in this Figure, panel 180 includes vertical reinforcing rods 182 and horizontal transverse rods 184. At several spaced intervals, horizontal reinforcing rods 186 are arranged or arranged in a narrow parallel arrangement, spaced approximately at the distance of 2.54. cm (one (1) inch). The panel 180 is designed to have a projection of zero (0) or without a projection along its vertical side edges, for example, the side edge 188 which is defined by the vertical bar 182. In this way , the panels 180 may be connected together with the vertical bars 182 arranged or collaterally distributed on the face or bearing surface of the cohesive mass form for entrenchment. Vertical reinforcing bars such as bars 182, therefore, will be connected by means of a bow ring, a wire tie or other connecting element. Additionally, as previously described, the stabilizing elements 164 having the ringed ends 165 can be adapted or nested between the horizontal reinforcing bars 186 of the adjacent panels 180 horizontally, to thereby effect the connection between such adjacent panels 180.

As also shown in Figure 33, a perforated or expanded metal sheet 190 can be inserted on the inside or along the inner surface of the panel 180 during the erection process for the form of cohesive mass 10 for entrenchment. That is, the perforated screen or mesh 190 can be used in place of a fabric, for example, to retain the particulate material that forms the cohesive mass form 10 for entrenchment. In this way, it will be noted that the construction of the invention will be comprised only of a first wire lattice working surface such as the panel 180 and a second perforated metal sheet 190 for attaching or embedding. With this construction, it is thus possible to provide a form of cohesive mass 10 for entrenchment having only two (2) outer layers instead of (3) as shown in various prior art constructions. Figures 34 and 35 illustrate in more detail an alternative hand bar connector 200, which is used to connect the stabilizing elements 164 and more particularly the tapered ends 165 thereof, to a panel or a work piece with a lattice the front wall. The connector 200 includes a cross bar 202 which separates the fastening ends 204 and 206. The cross bar 202 is appropriately sized to maintain the ends 204, 206 spaced apart substantially identical to the spacing of the tapered ends 165 of the stabilizing elements 164 previously described. It is possible to use and build connectors having other lengths which can cooperate with separate stabilizing elements. In any case, each of the ringed ends 204 and 206 has a special construction in the embodiment of Figures 34 and 35. This construction provides an arched extension 208 from the transverse elements 202. The arched extension 208 has an arched extension of approximately one hundred fifteen (115) degrees. This arched extension can be varied. The range of the arched extension is preferably greater than ninety (90) degrees and may extend up to one hundred eighty (180) degrees. A straight end section 210 extends from the arcuate extension 208. As will be seen with reference to the previous figure, the connector 200 fits or engages through the ringed ends 165 of the stabilizing element 164 to connect the element 164 to a wall panel. The connector 200 of the hand bar, as shown in Figures 34 and 35, is especially useful in various circumstances to facilitate assembly of the component parts. For example, the extension 210 of the connector 200 is so constructed that it does not pass through the screen or fabric that lines the inside of the vertical panels. Figures 36 and 37 describe an alternative connector which is used for a wall emptied in place. Referring to Figures 36 and 37, connector 220 includes a transverse bar 222. A descending extension 224 from each end of cross bar 222 forms a bend or bend 226 without any connecting length between opposite sides of the bending or fold 226. In other words, the bend or bend 226 is an arched extension of the descending extension 224 as shown in Figure 36. This is in contrast to the construction of Figure 25 where the extension or arched end of element 234, is defined by two elbows or folds of ninety (90) degrees, separated, instead of an elbow or bend of one hundred and eighty (180) degrees. Accordingly, while the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, it should be understood that numerous alternatives are within the scope of the invention and therefore the invention will not be limited only by the following claims and their equivalents.

It is noted that in relation to this date the best method known by the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
