Abstract: The invention relates to a support structure of a cover of a structure capable of being inserted into the ground, for example of a shaft or a channel, wherein the cover (10) comprises a traversable surface (11) and the support structure (20) extends downwards under said cover into the structure and comprises beam-shaped supports (21-23) such that their under support side (24) facing away from the surface (11) experiences a tensile stress when the surface (11) is loaded.

Abstract: Surface water drainage Systems are known, comprising a water drainage body which is elongated by individual elements that can be placed next to one another, and which can be installed in the ground. The individual elements (1-6) comprise an inlet section which is arranged in an upper region of the individual elements (1-6) in such a way that water can flow into the inlet section. A first pipe section (20) is provided, arranged below the inlet section and communicating with same via transition Systems.

Abstract: Drainage body surface units are known with conical spacer elements which are connected together via a base. The spacer elements have casing surfaces which run undulating in cross-section, comprising successive wave peaks and wave troughs. In order to guarantee as high a strength as possible with as little material usage as possible, a construction is proposed in which the wave peaks transform into the wave troughs via transitional regions, wherein the transitional regions have a smaller material thickness than the wave troughs.

Abstract: A drainage body is disclosed which comprises at least two substantially identically shaped surface units, that is a base unit and a substantially identically shaped top unit, which are combinable with one another in an installation spacing by way of spacers. It is proposed to form the surface units to be substantially interlockingly stackable in such a manner that the installation spacing of the surface units is considerably larger than their spacing in the stacked condition, whereby the spacers essentially have, for example, a frusto-conical or frusto-pyramid shape with a circumscribed cross-sectional area which becomes smaller as its distance from the surface units increases. As an alternative to this, it may be provided that the spacers are disposed in such a manner on the surface units that the base units and the top units are layable so as to be overlapping one another in the manner of a masonry bond. As a result this creates high stability with simultaneous space-saving storability and transportability.
