  • Patent number: 11867060
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tunnel lining segment of reinforced concrete, wherein the tunnel lining segment has a load transfer area for a longitudinal joint, with at least one steel bar with an end face being installed in the tunnel lining segment, the steel bar being arranged in the tunnel lining segment in such a way that a tangent to a centroidal axis of the steel bar encloses an angle of between 0° and 45° in the end face with a normal to the load transfer area, and wherein the end face is arranged at a distance (a) from the load transfer area which is between 0 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 0 mm and 10 mm.

  • Publication number: 20230160160
    Abstract: “A method for producing a construction section of a deck slab for a bridge includes the following operations: producing a bottom layer composed of a segment and having cross beams, which are arranged in the transverse direction in regard to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal bridge girder, from reinforced concrete; transporting the bottom layer having the cross beams for a construction section of the deck slab using a conveyor device from an assembly site to an installation site and lowering it into the installation position; producing a top concrete layer for a construction section of the deck slab on the bottom layer; removing the bottom layer having the cross beams for a construction section of the deck slab from the conveyor device and moving the conveyor device away from the installation site.

  • Patent number: 11136733
    Abstract: A first arch and second arch are produced in respective first and second structural portions. Each arch has a tie rod interconnecting the foot points of the arch, where a foot point of the arch is displaceably mounted. Each tie rod is tensioned so that horizontal forces caused by the weight of the arches at the foot points of the corresponding arch, are taken up by the tie rods. A first end point of the tie rod of the first arch is connected in a force-fitting manner to the first abutment, and a second end point of the tie rod of a last arch is connected in a force-fitting manner to the second abutment. The remaining adjoining end points of the tie rods are connected to one another in a force-fitting manner, and corresponding foot points of the arches are connected in a force-fitting manner to the abutments and pillar.

  • Patent number: 9957676
    Abstract: A roadway joint device for providing a drivable joint section between a road and an adjoining structure, particularly a bridge structure, includes at least one joint element placed on a sliding surface adjacent to the bridge structure. A longitudinal axis of the joint element is arranged substantially parallel to a plane of the roadway and a bridge end section of the bridge structure. Joint gaps with a specified gap width are arranged between the joint element and the adjoining bridge end section and/or an adjoining retaining device arranged at a distance to the bridge end section. The joint element is attached to at least one rod, the rod being arranged substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bridge structure, anchored at one rod end in the bridge structure and another rod end thereof in the retaining device.

  • Patent number: 9062456
    Abstract: In a load-bearing construction (1) having at least one load-bearing element (2), the load-bearing element (2) has at least one cavity (5) in which at least one rod (4) is disposed, the total cross-sectional area of all rods (4) each arranged in a cavity (5) being smaller than the cross-sectional area of this cavity (5), and the remaining volume of the cavity (5) being filled with a material (6). The rod (4) is displaceable along its length relative to the load-bearing element (2) when the load-bearing element (2) is deformed, the rod (4) being non-displaceably fixed at only one point relative to the load-bearing element (2) and being designed such that it dissipates energy upon the occurrence of a relative displacement with respect to the load-bearing element (2).

  • Patent number: 8297003
    Abstract: A gliding bed for a concrete slab comprises a first film and a second film wherein the first film can be brought into contact with a foundation of the concrete bottom slab and the second film can be brought into contact with a bottom side of the concrete slab by pouring concrete onto the second film and which films are tightly connected to each other at edges. In order to minimize friction between the concrete slab and the foundation, at least one gas- and liquid-permeable layer formed from a fleece and/or a textile fabric, a woven fabric or a knitted fabric is provided between the films.
