REINFORCING ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02D17/18 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: reinforcing element comprises toroid elements from car tyres, with soil filling, fixed to each other with the help of connecting elements made by cutting from a car tyre laid in contact with each other by treads. Each toroid element is made as a car tyre with a cut board, which is crossed by radial cut and is used as a connecting element. In the tread surface of the toroid element there is at least a pair of slots with length near width of the cut board with the possibility to enter the ends of the connecting element via them. A pair of slots is arranged in the plane parallel to the board of the toroid element, preferably in the area of the shoulder part of the toroid element. Toroid elements rest against the surface by shoulder parts so that slots of adjacent toroid elements face each other. Toroid elements are fixed to each other by means of stretching of ends of the connecting element via these slots. The radial slot of each connecting element is oriented to the centre of one of adjacent toroid elements.

EFFECT: higher durability and reliability of design, reduced labour intensiveness of manufacturing, no wastes from erection of structures.
