Abstract:
What is provided is a precast hollow block, a precast wall system incorporating the precast hollow block, and forms for manufacturing the precast hollow block and other components of the precast wall system. Each of the hollow blocks has a hollow interior space in the center that adds mass to the cross-section of the assembled wall when filled with reinforcing steel or concrete. The result is the formation of an effectively water-tight wall with greater structural stability that can follow the grade at the top of the wall. The precast wall system may be used for a variety of applications, including wall coping, flood prevention, and force protection.
Abstract:
A precast H block (3) interlock each other to form sloping wall and similarly precast Y block (10) interlock each other to form straight wall, both block having a pin hole (4) through side walls. A wire rope (5) passing through said pin hole to make a wall strengthened by nailing horizontally (14) into the earth (8) adjacent to the block and vertically nailing (9) at top arid bottom level. As well as wire rope (5) passing through said pin hole (4) of uppermost blocks, from underneath the road, to make a wall/barrier strengthened by nailing vertically (9) into the earth across the road (2).
Abstract:
A bridge to construct a multi-stage wall is provided with a clip at each end. One of the clips is sized and shaped to fit snugly onto the wall of a standard concrete masonry unit (CMU), while the other is sized and shaped to fit onto a segmental wall system (SWS) unit. A retaining or stand-alone wall is constructed by laying a row of SWS units and a row of CMUs roughly parallel to each other, with bridges extending between them to fix the units. The hollow spaces in each unit and the space between the rows is filled with gravel, rock or other fill material as each course is laid. Additional courses of SWS units and CMUs are placed on top of the prior courses, with bridges added to each course. This process is repeated until the desired wall height is reached. Various sized and shaped clips and connector brackets are provided to allow spacing of the walls at different distances, with varying blocks. Multiple walls can be constructed in parallel and connected with bridges to provide sufficient retention mass for taller walls.
Abstract:
A wall block, wall block system and method of making a wall block. The wall block including at least one core extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, the at least one core having opposed front and rear surfaces and first and second side surfaces the wall block also including at least one pin hole opening onto the top surface of the block and extending at least a portion of the distance from the top surface to the bottom surface. The at least one pin hole may open onto at least a portion of at least one surface of the at least one core. The block may be provided with channels; the pin hole, channels and core may all be formed in a mold box by a single forming member.
Abstract:
Retaining wall systems and methods of making retaining wall systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, the retaining wall system includes a first horizontally-extending course of sand/soil bags and a second horizontally-extending course of sand/soil bags positioned vertically adjacent to the first course of sand/soil bags, with an interconnecting member that attaches the first course of sand/soil bags to the second course of sand/soil bags. The interconnecting member has an upper side and a lower side, wherein at least one of the upper side and the lower side has a first projection that includes a notch therein to engage geogrid.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung schafft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Wandelements für eine Verkehrsleitwand sowie ein nach dem Verfahren hergestelltes Wandelement, das die Vorteile von Wandelementen aus Stahl und aus Beton auf sich vereinigt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass zunächst ein aus Stahlprofilen bestehender, umfangsseitig geschlossener Stahlrahmen hergestellt wird, der dann auf eine ebene Auflagefläche aufgelegt wird, so dass das von dem Stahlrahmen umfangsseitig geschlossene Gefach mit Beton ausgefüllt werden kann und nach Abbinden und wenigstens teilweisem Aushärten des Betons das derart aus einem umlaufenden Stahlrahmen und einem inneren Betonkern bestehende "Hybrid"-Wandelement von der Auflagefläche wieder abgehoben werden kann.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing a decorative finish on a wall, whereby a facing panel is provided to attach to a backing surface by way of a coupling means Dry cast panels are connected to the wall by way of a key way connector.
Abstract:
One embodiment of a system of the present disclosure, among others, can be implemented as follows. A modular wall block system includes a plurality of wall blocks comprising first wall blocks of a first shape and second wall blocks of a second shape and at least one continuous passageway running from a top of a wall to a bottom of the wall formed from the plurality of wall blocks. The wall blocks are configured such that the at least one continuous passageway is formed when a plurality of blocks are laid side by side in a tier and stacked one atop of another to form an additional tier. In a further embodiment, the wall blocks also include third wall blocks of a third shape. Other systems and methods are also provided.
Abstract:
The building element (1) for making walls using filling material, particularly earth or the like, comprises a structure provided with a front panel (2), a longitudinal beam (3) horizontal and parallel to the panel and at least one cross arm (4) for connecting the panel with the longitudinal beam, the longitudinal beam being associated with the cross arm close to the supporting base of the structure, which, once arranged in installation position, has the panel substantially turned towards the outer face of a wall filled with filling material and the longitudinal beam arranged inside the wall itself.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to mass confinement cells that may be used in retaining walls and earth retention systems that has a natural earthen appearance or other aesthetic design and is resistant to damage and wear caused by the environment. The mass confinement cells are generally light-weight and include a continuous chamber that at least partially aligns with confinement cells positioned above and below, thereby allowing the intermingling of fill material between adjacent cells. The mass confinement cells are capable of accepting and retaining any type of filling material. The filling material provides weight, stability and security to a retaining wall constructed of such mass confinement cells.
