PROTECTIVE BANK CONSOLIDATION STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF STRUCTURE ERECTION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E02B3/12 

FIELD: hydraulic building, particularly to protect and consolidate sea, river and water storage pool banks.

SUBSTANCE: bank consolidation structure comprises separately installed elongated pile members provided with relaxation means. The elongated pile members are driven in stable ground and are not subjected to outer impacts. Elongated pile members are made of hardening material to be injected directly in ground or in vertical wells previously drilled in ground. The elongated pile members are provided with metal rod members extending for the full pile member lengths of for part of pile member lengths. Metal rod members have lower ends anchored in elongated pile member bodies and upper ends projecting over ground surface. The elongated pile members are located in two areas, namely in beach and bank areas and are grouped in several rows so that each area contains at least three rows in area width direction. Elongated pile members of adjacent rows are arranged in staggered order. Elongated pile members are retained in ground along the full elongated member heights by means of three-dimensional elements enclosing the pile members. The three-dimensional elements are formed of compacted ground penetrated with branched reinforcing means located at different heights. The branched reinforcing members are created of hardening material and are used as anchors. Distances between elongated members in each row and between adjacent rows are selected to provide overlapping of three-dimensional elements cross-sections and from ground type. Relaxation members are fastened to upper projecting ends of metal rod members so that the rod members of adjacent pile members and adjacent rows are connected with each other. Some or all elongated members of rear rows in both areas to be consolidated are inclined in vertical plane, mainly towards bank area.

EFFECT: increased reliability of bank protective structures and reduced costs of bank consolidation works.
