MOORING STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: construction of berths. SUBSTANCE: mooring structure is intended for use at berths, embankments, dams, isles in sea and river conditions, strutting walls in industrial and civil engineering. Mooring structure has base, mooring arch made of slabs, anchoring device, and upper structure placed on material of backfilling in the form of reinforced concrete covering slabs. Slabs of each vertical row are located in zigzag pattern, and in longitudinal direction they are pivotally interconnected with creation of longitudinal profile of mooring wall of wavy configuration. Each reinforced concrete slab has hooks in the form of protrusions and convex curved in plan anchoring member with side surface which is laterally inclined from center of slab base towards its periphery having enclosed arch-shaped sections protruding beyond perimeter of base and one of end faces of slab by value of not less than thickness of protrusion. Each slab can be made with perforations. Anchoring device can be made in the form of piece of pipe and two slabs. Mooring wall in plan can have curvilinear configuration in the form of concave curve line. Aforesaid embodiment of mooring structure ensures distribution of active load on structure over large area of sectional structure, increases its load-bearing capacity, as well as stability and smoothness of covering. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 cl, 6 dwg
