METHOD FOR ERECTION OF GRAVITY WORKS IN WATER AREA Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering; erection of berthing and guard structures; underwater construction in development of shelf. SUBSTANCE: support members of gravity structure are formed by pouring quick-setting material into containers secured under the foundation slabs of the block. Before setting of this material, a support force is applied from outside to the hollow block. The container used for building up the support members is made of a flexible watertight material and the minimum thickness of the container is not less than maximum elevation of the design position of the lower end of foundation slabs above the bearing surface. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 cl, 2 dwg
