GROUND SLOPE OR HILLSIDE CONSOLIDATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E02B3/12 E02D17/20 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the sphere of construction in general and hydraulic engineering in particular, dealing with protection of aquatoria shores and hydraulic engineering structure slopes against wave and wind forces as well as ground slope or hillside consolidation. Each section of the ground slope or hillside being consolidated undergoes engineering-and-geological and geotechnical survey as well as surface vegetation clearance. Based on the survey findings one defines the range and depth of excavation into the solid and resistant mass of the slope soil or the hillside rock crack-free mass. Excavation is performed lengthwise along the whole of the section being consolidated without application of impact and/or vibration load onto the mass of slope soil or hillside rock. From the excavation sideways in the direction of at least one section being consolidated there are holes bored for embedment of anchors fabricated of wire cables or metal rods. The anchors are inserted through the boreholes from the excavation or from the surface of the section being consolidated with the cables and rods subsequently interconnected to form an integrated meshed metalwork. The cord/rod stretches laid inside the boreholes become pre-tensioned with the help of tension devices installed either in the excavation or on the consolidated section land surface. The pre-tensioned cord and rod stretches laid inside the boreholes are then fixed with a liquid curable polymeric material injected into the boreholes from the excavation. On the surface of the section being consolidated there is a meshed metalwork arranged filled with a liquid curable polymeric material poured into it so that to form a protective layer on its surface.

EFFECT: enhanced hardness and reliability of slope or hillside consolidation; possibility of the slope or hillside consolidation activities under the conditions of imminent soil slip commencement, soil/rock strata movement, fall, collapse or inrush, landslide, rockfall etc; reduction of the amount of mechanical, impact and vibration load applied to the slope/hillside masses of soil and/or rock.
