Definitions

  • the present invention aims at removing said disadvantages by distributing better the unitary loads, discharging on the ground said horizontal thrusts and keeping the blocks always tamped even when the ground settles.
  • FIG. 1 shows the larger octagonal base of the single element the paving according to the invention is consisting of
  • FIG. 2 shows the smaller square base of said element
  • FIG. 3 shows an elevation of said element along line IIIIII of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is another elevation of said element along line IV--IV of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view from above of the pavement according to the invention formed by blocks, equal to one another, of the type shown in the preceding figures and arranged alternatively with the larger base upwards and downwards respectively;
  • FIG. 6 is a section along line VI-VI of FIG. 5.
  • the blocks constituting the pavement according to the invention and shown in details in FIGS. 1 to 4 have the general appearance of a truncated pyramid, though their geometric shape is more complex.
  • said blocks are formed by a main body in form of a square base truncated pyramid, the inclinated faces of said truncated pyramid being denoted in the drawings by numeral 1.
  • From the smaller base of the truncated pyramid projects a prism with a square base equal to said smaller base, whereby the faces 3 of the lateral surface of said square base prism have their lower base in common with the upper base of said inclined faces 1 of the truncated pyramid.
  • Said square basev prism ends at its top with a flat base 4 and the height of said prism' is defined by reference h and generally will be equal to a portion of the height of said truncated pyramid.
  • the inclined faces 1 of the portion of the block in form of a truncated pyramid do not reach to cross the larger base 5 of said truncated pyramid.
  • said inclined faces near said larger base are bevelled from the intersection planes between said square base truncated pyramid and an octagonal base regular prism whose sides are equal to the side of the square constituting the smaller base of said truncated pyramid. Therefore, on the bottom the claimed block is defined by a side surface consisting of rectangular faces 6 and faces 7 in form of an irregular pentagon. According to the invention, said rectangular faces are to be equal to the rectangular faces 3 of the upper prism 2.
  • the two layers of blocks penetrate into each other and fill completely a layer whose height is equal to the total height of a single block.
  • system of blocks according to the invention is in position to stand the longitudinal stresses without the inclined faces 1 tending to lift said blocks; and that as the vertical surfaces 3, 6 and 7 avoid the relative vertical sliding between adjacent blocks.
  • the above characteristics of the invention offer the following advantages: blocks particularly strong and easy to be arranged; a higher stability and longer life of the pavement due to the possibility of discharging on the rest plane 11 the horizontal stresses 8, caused by brakings of vehicles, which are transferred onto the ground by the block adjacent to the one subject to the stresses; a very high reduction in the unitary loads, as when the load plane 10 consists of the square base of the block, the weight is distributed on the ground 1 l by the octagonal base of larger surface, while when the load weighs on the octagonal base it is transferred by the block on other four blocks surrounding it.
  • a system of articulated pavement comprised of a pair of sets of identical prefabricated blocks, eachblock being in the form of a regular octagonal base prism and a square base prism separated by a square base truncated prism having a larger base toward the octagonal base and a smaller base toward the square base prism, the sides of the larger base of said truncated pyramid being equal to twice the apothem of the base of the octagonal prism, the sides of the smaller base of the truncated pyramid being equal to the sides of the base of said octagonal prism, whereby four edges of the larger base of said truncated prism are parallel to and join four faces of said octagonal prism, the trihedrons of the larger base of said truncated prism being removed which extend beyond the vertical secant planes of the four faces of the octagonal prism which are not parallel to edges of the larger base of said truncated pyramid, said square base prism having sides equal
