METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCTION OF SOIL-REINFORCED CONSTRUCTIONS OF FLEXIBLE BANDS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic engineering, applicable in erection of coast- strengthening constructions. SUBSTANCE: the method for production of soil- reinforced constructions of flexible bands consists in unreeling of flexible bands consists in unreeling of flexible bands, their attachment to the enclosing surface, filling with soil and building-up of the enclosing surface, the flexible bands are spliced in the enclosing surface, which is made of interlaced flexible bands in the process of its erection. The free ends of the flexible bands are interconnected in pairs, after that the free ends of the flexible bands are cut in the longitudinal direction into an even number with subsequent splicing of the ends of these flexible bands and loop-shaped anchorage of them and/or fastening of them by perforation with a subsequent placement in a fan-like manner. The soil-reinforced constructions of flexible bands have: an enclosing surface of flexible material and reinforcing members in the form of flexible bands attached to it. The reinforcing members are spliced in the enclosing surface, which is made of interlaced flexible bands, the free ends of the flexible bands are interconnected in pairs, cut in the longitudinal direction into an even number strips with splicing of the band ends and anchorage of them either in the form of loops formed by fastening of the band free end on the band proper, or in the form of perforation holes on the free ends of the flexible bands with formation of strips with cuts in the axis of the holes, and the above strips are placed in a fan-like manner. The perforation holes may be made with a decrease of the frequency to the middle of the flexible bands length. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of functioning of such constructions at a considerable reduction of consumption of building materials, provided aesthetic perception of the landscape. 3 cl, 3 dwg
