Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing geological gradation layer (30) featuring disaster prevention and ecologic function, which uses on-site earth or gradation materials commonly adopted in road construction, including aggregates, soils, gravels, or a mixture of water permeable concrete, and most importantly, added with uniquely arranged hollow bodies (31), all constituents being mixed and laid on soil stratum (20), and subjected to ramming, to form an ecological gradation layer (30). The ecological gradation layer (30) provides an effect of supporting and also provides the functions of water storage, water preservation, and improving earth, whereby earth microorganisms and earth protozoa may establish a beneficial survival environment in earth, making the gradation layer exhibiting the characteristics of high water content and prompting breeding of microorganisms. When the atmosphere gets hot, water is released from the soil as vapor to alleviate the heat island effect and when rainwater precipitates, the rainwater can be stored for use in draughts.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kunststoff-Bodenplatte mit einer quadratischen Grundfläche, die von zwei ersten Längsseiten (1) und zwei zweiten Längsseiten (2) begrenzt ist, sowie mit einer im Betrieb oben angeordneten Oberseite (14), die sich zwischen den Längsseiten (1, 2) erstreckt, und mit Verbindungsmitteln zur Verbindung mehrerer gleichartiger Bodenplatten untereinander, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Bodenplatte an ihren Längsseiten (1, 2) bogenförmige Haken (3, 4) und dazu kompatible taschenförmige Ausnehmungen (5, 6) aufweist, wobei die Haken (3, 4) an zwei gegenüber liegenden Längsseiten (1) und die Ausnehmungen (5, 6) an den beiden anderen, sich ebenfalls gegenüber liegenden Längsseiten (2) angeordnet sind.

Abstract:
An artificial turf system provides an existing artificial turf including a plurality of existing artificial turf fibres and an existing artificial turf backing configured to carry the plurality of existing artificial turf fibres, a new artificial turf comprising a plurality of artificial turf fibres and an artificial turf backing layer, where the artificial turf backing layer comprises a carrier structure configured to carry the plurality of artificial turf fibres, and a geogrid positioned between the existing artificial turf and the backing layer of the new artificial turf.
Abstract:
1. A panel system is provided that includes: a first and second panel each having a top side providing a road surface and a bottom side opposite the top side, where the bottom side contacts a ground surface, and a plurality of lateral sides. At least one of the plurality of the lateral sides of the first and second panels include a feature that interlock adjacent lateral sides of the first and second panels against vertical movement relative to each other.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a ground water filtration system are described. The ground water filtration system includes paver blocks designed to facilitate liquid seepage between the paver blocks and to route the seepage to a preferred area. A filter may be utilized to remove undesired particulates in the seepage prior to routing. The ground water filtration system additionally provides at least one layer of stone to facilitate flow direction of the seepage. At least one geogrid fabric is also provided to further enhance ground water filtration.
Abstract:
A modular cell that may be used with other cells to form a matrix under a load bearing feature, the cell being a single piece molding that supports a compressive load placed thereon, the molding including a void space defined within: a skirt shaped support member defining a substantially planar surface with an opening therein; and at least one leg integral to and extending from the support member. The cell further includes at least one linking member that releasably links together multiple cells to form a matrix of cells. The cells may be linked together vertically and/or horizontally. The cell and matrix include greater load bearing capacity and rigidity through aligned legs to carry the weight and interlinking members that act to share the load among the various cells. The design is cheaper to produce and allows easy access of the void space for filling and laying utility lines.
Abstract:
Various monolithic pavers are described herein. The monolithic pavers described herein are one-piece pavers with no seams, joints, or connections. A monolithic paver can be formed via three dimensional (3D) printing or molding. The monolithic paver is designed to carry applied loads to paver support(s) via structural members of the monolithic paver. The monolithic paver is formed to include parallel structural members that are spaced with gaps there between. The parallel structural members include top flanges and webs. The parallel structural members can also include bottom flanges. Moreover, the monolithic paver can have exterior sides that have tongues and grooves formed there along; tongues can be formed along adjoining exterior sides of the monolithic paver.
