Umbrella anchorage
The invention is an application that completely alter the operating principle and load transfer mechanism of the anchorage technique used in the field of civil engineering, in particular at the excavation bracing and slope stability applications with a novel root zone apparatus.
1. An anchorage system used particularly in excavation supporting and slope stability applications in the field of constructional engineering, wherein the anchorage system comprises;
open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ) comprising multiple lower connection brackets ( 1 . 3 . 1 ) that are fixedly and mountedly positioned, that allow the coupling of support elements ( 1 . 3 . 1 . 1 ), that is positioned anywhere on anchorage body ( 1 ) and that open cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) by enabling the movement of support elements ( 1 . 3 . 1 . 1 ) and multiple cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) cutting the surface during the deployment of umbrella-shape anchorage,
support elements ( 1 . 3 . 1 . 1 ) that ensure the cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) to assume a vertical position by anchorage body ( 1 ) during the deployment of umbrella-shape anchorage by the movement of open/close ring ( 1 . 3 ) towards the surface where anchoring shall be performed,
guide tube ( 2 ) that gets fixed to anchorage system once the anchorage system is inside hole after the anchorage body ( 1 ) drives the anchorage to desired depth and that ensures anchorage cable ( 4 ) to remain at the center,
anchorage cable ( 4 ) that ensures the anchorage body ( 1 ) to pass through grouting pipe ( 1 . 3 . 2 . 1 ) in hollow tube form,
grouting ring ( 1 . 3 . 2 ) positioned at the bottom side of open/close ring ( 1 . 3 ) and that ensures the formation of a composite structure between cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) and cement grouting by injecting cement water into well.
2. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein the grouting ring ( 1 . 3 . 2 ) assembled and fixed on the open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ) of the system has a diameter larger than the open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ).
3. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein the lower connection brackets ( 1 . 3 . 1 ) are protrusions where support elements ( 1 . 3 . 1 . 1 ) are vertically positioned to open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ) are to be coupled.
4. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein the grouting ring ( 1 . 3 . 2 ) is positioned on the open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ) and that has a circular shape wrapping around the open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ).
5. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein the grouting ring ( 1 . 3 . 2 ) comprises a grouting pipe ( 1 . 3 . 2 . 1 ) in hollow tube form that originates from the grouting ring ( 1 . 3 . 2 ) and extends over a well outlet located at the ground surface.
6. The anchorage system according to claim 5 , wherein the grouting pipe ( 1 . 3 . 2 . 1 ) contains grouting coupling ( 1 . 3 . 2 . 1 . 1 ) at the end of the grouting pipe, that is not connected to the open-close ring ( 1 . 3 ).
7. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein the anchorage body ( 1 ) comprises a cable locking apparatus ( 3 ) that is positioned at anchorage end once the anchorage is settled inside hole and that ensures passing the anchorage cable ( 4 ).
8. The anchorage system according to claim 1 , wherein comprising tensioning element manufactured out of fabric on the cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) that ensures the coupling between cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) that is positioned in a way covering the cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) that enables the collective movement of all cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) during the deployment of cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ), that distributes inbound weight imposed on the cutter vanes ( 1 . 2 . 1 ) to a broader area and that enables injection by discharging in-between surface areas.
