METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPRESSING PILES AND/OR OTHER BUILDING STRUCTURES Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering; erection of foundations made of reinforced-concrete piles in civil, industrial and agricultural construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has at least two longitudinal members carrying loosely mounted supports. Supports are moving over longitudinal members as they are fixed in stops arranged along longitudinal members. Supports are joined together by means of beam-structure member; mounted on the latter for displacement is power member of impression mechanism. Method involves installation of impression device near point of impression, its anchoring, raising, and installing structure being impressed on point of impression, bringing of impression closer to mentioned point, and application of mechanism force to structure. EFFECT: reduced metal input, enlarged active area without readjustment, enlarged functional capabilities, reduced labor consumption and power requirement. 5 cl, 2 dwg
