HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this relates to structures intended for protection of shore zone from destruction by waves. Hydraulic engineering structure has flexible aprons with their lower edges connected by ropes to fasteners anchored in bottom ground. Upper edges of aprons are fastened to hollow floating members adapted for filling their inner spaces with air or water medium and connected with additional ropes. All ropes are adjustable in length due to their movable joining with fasteners in bottom ground. Fasteners in bottom ground of ropes attached to lower edges of aprons are located closer to shore line than fasteners in bottom ground of additional ropes of floating members. All rope fasteners in bottom ground are made in the form of cramps, and ropes are inserted through corresponding cramps. Ends of ropes are secured on shore. Aprons are arranged in rows along shore line. Aprons located closer to shore line are water-tight, and more distant aprons are in the form of nets. EFFECT: high efficiency. 1 cl, 1 dwg
