COMBINED SUSPENDED STRUCTURE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E01D11/02 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to construction and may be used for different coatings suspended over buildings and on bridge structures. The suspended structure includes stiffening girder mounted on supports, shrouds and stays fixed to supporting pylons by their upper ends and to stiffening girder by their lower ends by means of suspension units. Clamps with blocks represented with tensioning device supporting stiffening girder in two points are used in suspension units. Shrouds and stays are transmitted under clamp blocks and pulled by controlled effort to create the required preliminary tension and bend in stiffening girder. The steel shoe may be installed in the upper part of clamp and provided with the unit for shrouds and stays. The supporting plate may be installed in the lower part of clamp. The steel shoe and supporting plate are coupled by a pair of drawbars with upper ends being provided with calibration springs and force meters installed in shoe basis. The shrouds and stays may be directed to stiffening girder at similar angles and be parallel to each other. Stiffening girder may be provided with glued-in pins in points, where they rest upon clamps. All structure units may be made collapsible.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of metal, labour effort for installation and dismantling and cost of structure.
