  • Patent number: 5938300
    Abstract: A crawler-mounted construction machine for executing slope strengthening work on a slope or a crawler-mounted slope traveling machine for carrying construction materials on a slope has shoe links (12) or (107) composed of shoe elements (18) or (113). Each shoe element is provided on its bearing surface with projections (23) or (118) as anti-side slip grousers, in addition to ordinary grousers (19) or (114). The projections (23) or (118) are provided as plate-shaped projections extending in parallel to or at an inclination to the traveling direction and arranged on the shoe links continuously or at intervals in the traveling direction. The height of each projection is set to be greater than that of each ordinary grouser (19) or (114) to prevent the traveling machine from the side slip due to the load acting on the traveling machine during its horizontal travel or work on the slope.

  • Patent number: 5348424
    Abstract: A novel method to construct a reinforcing block in an embankment is provided, wherein a core rod to which a protrusion is molded on the tip, is preset inside a hollow rotating shaft with drilling and agitating blades affixed around its circumference, but with the protrusion on the core rod exposed at the front of the shaft. This drilling and agitating shaft rotates and bores into the earth while simultaneously mixing the soil so agitated with a fixing agent; then at a specified depth, the rotating shaft is withdrawn leaving the core rod to remain anchored in the soil while the fixing agent continues to discharge from the end of the hollow rod; and when the hollow rod is completely removed, a reinforcing block is intact within the soil and the tail end of the core rod exposed on the surface of the banking is directly or indirectly affixed to this surface.
