THROUGH TRANSVERSAL SHORE-PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC E02B3/12 

FIELD: hydroengineering and reclamation construction, particularly to erect shore-protective structures for erodible river bed, dam slope and other structure guarding.

SUBSTANCE: shore-protective structure comprises composite spacing members, which form prism. The members include metal-plastic tube containing filler and are connected with each other to create triangle structures by member securing about transversal reinforcement with the use of collars to create triangular prism joints. Triangular prism section includes a number of triangular trusses. Flexible apron including spacing members is formed in end structure part. The apron spacing members include metal-plastic tubes containing wires and filler. Said spacing members are connected with each other by wire ends twisting to create joints. Angle of structure installation depends on river bed width, possible river water spread over bank and other physiographic river flow and bank characteristics. In the most favorable variant the structure is transversal to river stream and rests upon river bottom by one plane thereof. This results in stream velocity reduction and silt precipitation.

EFFECT: increased river bank protection efficiency and reliability, decreased costs of shore-protective structure erection and extended service life.
