摘要:
A tire assembly for use in reclaiming land from a marine environment. An anchor having at least one cable connected thereto acts as a base to which tires are connected by threading them down the cable to form a cylindrical tower of tires which can be filled with concrete or filler if desired. A plurality of the tire assemblies can be positioned adjacent to one another and further interconnected for stability purposes and can form the basis for further structural elements.

A flexible wave-energy dissipation system includes: a plurality of brace units arranged along a horizontal direction and each including front and rear braces; a plurality of energy-dissipating posts each disposed between the front and rear braces of the corresponding brace unit and including a first spring unit connected to the front brace of the corresponding brace unit and a rod body connected to the first spring unit; a plurality of hanging cable units each connected to one front brace, one rear brace and one rod body, such that the posts are inclined upwardly and rearwardly; and an energy dissipation device including an energy-dissipating net unit disposed between two adjacent posts, and a plurality of second spring units connected between the net unit and the two adjacent posts.
摘要:
A used radial tyre tread, folded into a minimum of three loops and held in compression, in a lateral external circlip, to form a flexible, resilient, abrasion resistant bollard with anisotropic properties. By extending the lateral external circlip, longitudinally, more tyre treads can be added to form a baffle or a barrier. The removal of the tread section significantly reduces the bulk of the waste tyre.

The invention is a system and related method to reduce erosion caused by storm runoff. Eco-friendly erosion reduction assemblies help reduce the effects of both sheet and rill erosion. The assemblies comprise a receptacle housing a perforated water velocity reduction wall embedded in media. The wall may be constructed from recycled tires and the media utilized may be from on-site materials. A series of such assemblies in an erosion zone limits erosion by reducing water velocity.

A wave attenuation system having a floating member, at least one anchor member, and a plurality of interconnected wave attenuation members. The floating member has a generally flat top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is configured to be disposed above a waterline and the bottom surface is configured to be disposed below the waterline. The anchor member is disposed below the water line and is interconnected with the floating member through at least one elastic member. The wave attenuation members are connected to the floating member and disposed below the bottom surface of the floating member.
摘要:
A constructing method by using waste tires includes cutting sidewalls from waste tires; connecting multiple waste tires in series together by the sidewalls to form a layer of waste tires; filling the waste tires with ballast; and stacking another layer of waste tires on the previous layer with a staggered arrangement. An end member, being composed of a cut waste tire with two ends connected to an outer periphery of an unbroken waste tire, is provided at an end portion of the layers. Whereby, the construction built from waste tires can be used in projects such as a protection slope, road berm, riverbank, riverbed, etc., and has a good strength and a low cost.

A soil conservation method includes producing a plurality of water accumulating units that are intercommunicated with one another, fixing the water accumulating units on a soil layer, and constructing paving and two channels on tops of the water accumulating units. The channels are located on two sides of the paving and communicated with at least one of the water accumulating units. A soil conservation system is thus provided. Rainwater falling on the paving is guided into the channels. The rainwater is then guided into and stored in the water accumulating units and then permeates into the soil layer.
摘要:
A shore protective barrier system for protecting an existing seawall in the face of heavy storms including a plurality of used automotive tires aligned upright in a row substantially side-by-side with one another, filled with concrete to form a single integrated unit sunk horizontally into the ground as a break wall.
摘要:
A method of forming a continuous composite structure includes encapsulating solid additive particles with a first reactive liquid resin forming material and migrating part of the mixture through a porous blanket to form a continuous resin matrix within the blanket with adhesive outer surfaces. A thin coating of a second preselected resin forming material which substantially cures immediately upon application is applied over one major adhesive upper surface of the matrix/blanket while allowing an area of the adhesive surface to remain exposed along one edge of the upper surface thereof. A plurality of preselected flexible lengths of the coated matrix/blanket are individually positioned successively in an overlapping orientation with the exposed adhesive area of the upper surface of the adjoining positioned length tightly affixed to the adhesive lower surface of the succeeding length to form a continuous composite structure. Also, the composite structure and apparatus for producing same.
