BARRIER RETAINING WALL Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: landslide control structures. SUBSTANCE: retaining wall includes two-pile supports 1 with inclined cross-bars 2 for suspension of relieving band-barriers 3 and fasteners of regularly installed anchor bars 4. The latter are secured below in ground anchor 5, and overhead at the level of cross-bars 2 with the help of wedge anchors 6 which take up outward pressure caused by loading of multispan bands-barriers 3. Upper inclined band-barrier 3 takes up pressure of ground caving prism and action of temporary loads onto fill surface to transmit reactions to cross-bars 2 of the first tier of support 1. The second and further relieving bands-barriers 3 take up only a part of load due to presence of pockets above them. EFFECT: reduced specific material consumption of materials of barrier retaining wall. 1 dwg
