HAWSER STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering. SUBSTANCE: hawser structure includes subhawser wave suppressor chamber 4 in the form of box formed by front tongue-and-groove wall 2 with apertures, slab of upper building 5, rear slab 7 being parallel to the front tongue-and-groove wall and base slab 6. Apertures in the front tongue-and-groove wall are formed with alternate sheet piles of different lengths. One sheet piles are of the length being equal to building height with ends fixed to upper building 1. Top of other sheet piles is placed at the level of box base slab of wave suppressor chamber. This base slab is rigidly connected to the front tongue-and-groove wall 2 and back tongue-and- groove wall 3 being spaced from the front one to provide resting of rear subcrane beam on back tongue-and-groove wall 3, which is rigidly related to rear slab 7 of wave suppressor chamber through buttress slabs. Back tongue-and- groove wall 3 may be related to anchor device 14 through anchor pull members 13 in backfill 15 of building rear part. Wave suppressor chamber suppresses waves achieving the building, and transmits its energy to the entire building. Vertical component of loading is transmitted to backfill soil through base slab of the wave suppressor chamber. Water-filling soil is in essence incompressible and reacts as a unit with the building to provide its stability. EFFECT: low specific pressure on the foot. 3 cl, 3 dwg
