Description

The present invention relates generally to a method of making a platform type track trafficable. A platform type track that can be traveled in the sense of the present invention is a traffic lane comprising at least one rail integrated in one or more cover plates and can accommodate vehicles road type cars in addition to vehicles intended for use the rail. The process of the present invention can be applied to the realization of all type concrete tracks walkable platform. In particular, the process of present invention can be applied to the realization of railroad tracks for trams, from passages to levels crossing a railway track, from traffic routes to inside depots. The process of the present invention can also be applied to the construction of washing on railways or in tunnels rail when road access must be possible.

Walkable platforms for trams are known. These usually consist of two rails and coating and are subjected to stresses various mechanical. The rails support the load of trams and transmit it to a foundation slab, coverings fill the space between the level of the slab of foundation and the top level of the rails and can create in in some cases a traffic plan.

A first method of making a taxiway of the circulating platform type has been described. The first one step of this process is to attach rails to a slab of foundation by fasteners. The use of fasteners allows to obtain a satisfactory hold of the rails but has difficulties during the implementation of the process.

Two particular cases of this process can be distinguished. First, the fasteners can be combined to a saddle, their holding being ensured by the concrete of the slab foundation. In this case the installation of the rails and the slab of foundation must intervene simultaneously which poses implementation difficulties. This process leads to multiple difficulties in protecting the insulating elements under platform, put in place reinforcement and maintain the device precisely during pouring. To these difficulties, there is also the requirement not to mechanically stress the rails and the foundation slab during the setting of the concrete forming the slab and until it reaches sufficient strength.

The fasteners described above can also be integrated into prefabricated sleepers. In this case, the difficulties in implementing the process come from precise adjustment of the gauge of the rails, of the position of the track and its rigorous maintenance during placement concrete. Furthermore, the track does not support solicitation during setting of the concrete and until it reaches a sufficient strength, which lengthens the duration of construction sites.

The second step of the known method of making traffic platform type traffic platform consists of cover the foundation slab with a covering, part of which upper will be at the same level as the upper part of the rail. This stage of realization also poses difficulties because the compatibility of the coating with the presence of fasteners is difficult to achieve. Indeed, the thickness of the coating must be reduced at each fastener, this which can increase the fragility of the coating fasteners. In addition, the coating must be removed for allow the execution of checks on the structure of fasteners and perform their maintenance.

A second method of making a taxiway of the circulating platform type has been described. This process consists in coating the rail. Rail coating can be carried out before setting up the site. The coating product is glued to the rail and the assembly is held in a setting concrete is ensured by the recesses of the outer profile of the rail cover. This process presents several disadvantages. In particular, concrete having no adhesion on the coating, it must be reassembled and on the other side of the rail, which limits the architectural possibilities. In addition, the track must be kept in place during the concrete application and does not withstand stress during setting of the concrete and until it reaches a sufficient strength, which lengthens the duration of construction sites.

In order to reduce the duration of construction sites, an evolution of this type of installation was developed by prefabricating lengths of rail encased in concrete or prefabricated complete track panels. Difficulties exist when implementing such a laying process. The difficulties come from the complexity of prefabrication which incorporates a lot of materials, from the stock value of prefabricated product, difficulty of precise adjustment heavy and rigid elements which must be kept in place during the implementation of the concrete. In addition, the concrete does not withstand stress during setting and until it reaches sufficient strength.

Another production process has been developed, it consists in pouring a wedging product around the rail placed in position. In this process, adhesion to metal and concrete is ensured by the installation of a primer, but it is necessary to make a groove beforehand in which the rail is placed. The tolerances of geometric should be as close as possible to rail positioning tolerances, making it delicate realization and requires oversizing the throat.

A production method has also been described in DE19519745 filed May 30, 1995. This process involves pouring concrete around a rail, and complete the construction of the taxiway by fixing the rail in functional position. In this process, the adhesion to metal and concrete is ensured by the installation of a primer, but it is necessary to carry out beforehand a groove in which the rail is placed. The geometric tolerances should be as close as possible rail positioning tolerances, which makes it difficult to achieve and requires oversizing throat.

It would therefore be desirable to have a method of creation of a traffic lane remedying disadvantages of the prior art and in particular which allows to carry out a structure capable of withstanding stresses mechanical, adapt to aesthetic requirements and integrate into a zone construction program urban with heavy traffic, which imposes speed of execution and discretion of resources on site.

a. la pose du ou des rails sur une dalle de fondation (2) ;

b. l'enrobage d'une partie inférieure de chaque rail (1) avec un matériau formant un socle (3) fixant chaque rail (1) dans sa position fonctionnelle préétablie à la dalle de fondation (2), de sorte qu'une partie supérieure du rail saille au-dessus d'une surface supérieure du socle (3) ;

c. la pose d'au moins une dalle de revêtement (4) ayant une surface supérieure, une surface inférieure et des surfaces latérales, en appui sur au moins une partie de la surface supérieure dudit socle (3), de sorte que la paroi latérale de la dalle de revêtement (4) en regard de la partie supérieure saillante du rail (1) forme avec cette dernière une chambre de coulage (5) ; et

d. le coulage dans cette chambre (5) d'une composition d'enrobage.

The above objects are achieved according to the invention by a method of producing a traffic lane comprising at least one rail composed of a foot and a head joined by an intermediate part, comprising the following steps:

at. laying the track (s) on a foundation slab (2);

b. coating a lower part of each rail (1) with a material forming a base (3) fixing each rail (1) in its pre-established functional position to the foundation slab (2), so that an upper part rail protrudes above an upper surface of the base (3);

vs. laying at least one covering slab (4) having an upper surface, a lower surface and lateral surfaces, bearing on at least part of the upper surface of said base (3), so that the lateral wall of the covering slab (4) facing the projecting upper part of the rail (1) forms with the latter a casting chamber (5); and

d. pouring into this chamber (5) a coating composition.

According to the invention, during step (a) the rail or rails are set in a pre-established functional position.

According to this process, a platform is produced comprising one or more coated rails and a covering by coordinating the successive implementation of the different elements with the pouring of the rail coating so that the first part of the pouring serves to support the slabs of facing and that the facing tiles serve as pouring chamber for the upper part of the coating. The implementation of this process makes it possible not to prefabricate only standard and simple elements that can be stored without immobilization of a significant value of supply. The implementation of the process which is the subject of the invention also allows to take into account the constraints architectural to the edge of the rails. Other advantages emerge from the implementation of the method. Among these advantages we can cite the possibility of adjusting precisely and to assemble the rail by welding when it is without dressing, i.e. when the base is not yet set in place. The formwork of the lower part of the setting is fast and does not risk disrupting the rail. The casting of cushioning product does not transmit stress or vibration to the rail which might disturb it. Taking the coating forming the base is rapid and the resistance sufficient compatible with the use of the route is obtained in a few hours. Finally, the installation of the coating is rapid and step (d) of pouring the coating product from the rail can be run immediately after installing the covering slab, without additional adjustment of the rail, this which allows you to complete the installation in a few hours.

In the description which follows as well as in the drawings and in order to bring them more concision and clarity, the same reference numbers are used to denote identical bodies or objects allowing the implementation of the process which is the subject of the invention.

The first step (a) of the method according to the invention consists of wedging one or more rails 1 on a slab of foundation 2, in a pre-established functional position. The Figure 1 shows an example of positioning two rails 1 on a foundation slab 2. Rail 1 includes a foot, a head and an intermediate part joining the foot and the head. We define the functional position of the rails 1 as being the position compatible with the circulation of a train or tram for example. Functional position rails 1 is reached using known techniques of the skilled person. For example, mannequins can be placed at regular intervals on the rails to ensure their correct maintenance and positioning. The mannequins are equipped with devices ensuring adjustments vertical and horizontal rails, and ensuring correct positioning of the rails with respect to others if several of them have to be installed.

The second step (b) of the method according to the invention consists in coating the base of each rail 1 with a material forming a base 3.

Base 3, an example of which is presented in Figure 2, must be made so as not to cover the head of rail 1. The upper part of each rail 1 projects above of an upper part of the base 3. By the term "Foot of the rail", the skilled person will understand the part of the rail including the foot and possibly part of the intermediate part of the rail. The base 3 rests on the slab of foundation 2 and has an upper surface of sufficient size to be able to support a covering slab 4. The realization of the base 3 allows fix each rail in its functional position to the slab of foundation 2.

Step (b) of making the base 3 will be described below more in detail.

The third step (c) of the method according to the invention consists of laying one or more covering tiles 4 on base 3. Several alternatives are possible for install the covering slab (s) 4. A covering slab 4 can be laid on the surface upper of base 3 of two parallel rails as is visible in FIG. 3. A covering slab 4 can also be laid between a rail 1 and the edge of the track traffic under construction as is also visible in Figure 3. In this second case, for allow the installation of a horizontal slab, a shim 12 of which the thickness is identical to that of the base 3 can be placed at near the edge of the track under construction.

The use of a wedge 12 is however not necessary if you want to lay slabs of covering 4 forming a slight slope between the rail and the edge of the traffic lane under construction.

As seen in Figure 3, the installation of a slab coating 4 creates a casting chamber 5. This casting chamber 5 is formed by the surface side of the cladding slab 4 opposite the part projection of rail 1, and the protruding part of rail 1 itself. In the case of Figure 3 where the edge of the slab of coating 4 is vertical, the bottom of the casting chamber 5 is defined by the upper surface of the base 3.

The fourth step (d) of the method according to the invention consists of pouring a coating composition into the casting chamber 5. The result obtained after this step is shown in figure 4.

In order to decrease the amount of composition coating required to fill the casting 5, it is possible to insert a profile 11 in the chamber 5 as shown in FIG. 4 and on the Figure 4A. Profile 11 can have any shape, for example example close to that of the casting chamber 5 at fill. Profile 11 can also have a density high so as to reduce the natural frequency of the channel carried out by the implementation of the method. Preferably, the coating material used during step (d) is resilient, and strongly adherent to rail 1, to the constituent concrete the base 3 and the covering slab 4 thanks to the use of a hanging primer. The use of a primer to solve grip problems is known to skilled in the art and will therefore not be described in detail.

Step (a) of the process described can be preceded by a step of inserting at least one drain 10 into the slab foundation 2, and cover them with waterproof mortar setting mortar as shown in figure 1. Or the drains 10 in place allow for example facilitate the flow of runoff water. Drains 10 set up can also be intended to receive Cables.

According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the method comprises an additional step (e) consisting pouring a setting mortar between the covering slab 4 and the foundation slab 2 as shown in perspective on figure 8. This setting mortar is not essential for carrying out the process but allows increase the mechanical resistance of the plates coating 4, in particular when these are intended for support road vehicles of the automobile type. Through example, the setting mortar can be poured using reservations crossing the paving slab 4 or spaces provided when step (c) is carried out for laying the covering slabs 4.

The step of placing the covering slab 4 intervenes quickly after the start of the implementation of the process. Indeed, the coating of rail coating product and wedging between the slabs can be executed immediately without additional adjustment of the rail which allows the installation of the track in a few hours.

The thickness of the base 3 made during step (b) of the process can be determined so that the area upper of the cladding slab 4 is at the same level that the top of rail 1 as seen on Figures 4 and 4A.

By the term "at the same level as" we must understand that the upper surface of the covering slab 4 and the upper part of rail 1 are included in a plane horizontal.

(i) la mise en place de part et d'autre du rail 1 d'éléments de coffrage 61 compressibles.

(ii) la pose d'un gabarit 7 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 5,

(iii) la fixation des éléments de coffrage 61,

(iv) le coulage du matériau d'enrobage.

According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, step (b) of the method comprises:

(i) the establishment on either side of the rail 1 of compressible shuttering elements 61.

(ii) the fitting of a template 7 as shown in FIG. 5,

(iii) fixing the formwork elements 61,

(iv) pouring the coating material.

The means used in steps (i) to (iv) of step (b) are described below in more detail.

The formwork elements 61 can for example be composed of a rigid profile extending over the entire length rail 1 associated with a compressible element 8. In particular, the compressible element 8 can be a profiled element honeycomb structure. The formwork elements 61 used to define a formwork 6 in which a coating material forming the base 3.

The template 7 makes it possible to determine the thickness of the formwork 6 to be produced and consequently that of the base 3. In Indeed, the thickness of the base 3 produced depends on the thickness formwork 6 in place.

As seen in Figure 5, the template 7 includes a horizontal portion 70 resting on the surface top of the head of rail 1 and two vertical parts, ending with forks 71 intended to adapt to the upper parts of the formwork elements 61.

When the template is put in place during the step (b), it is placed on the upper surface of the elements of formwork 61. The thickness of formwork 6 will then decrease by crushing the compressible element 8 until the template 7 also rests on the upper surface of the rail 1. The reduction in the thickness of the formwork 6 may be performed for example by maintaining a vertical force on the template 7, directed towards the foundation slab 2. When the template 7 rests at the same time on the formwork 6 and on the upper part of rail 1, we consider that the formwork has an acceptable height. By acceptable height is meant that the template 7 holds the upper part of the elements of formwork 61 at a height from the upper part of the head of rail 1 which is equal to the thickness of the slab of covering 4 to be applied during step (b). Template 7 represented in FIG. 5 has a general shape of "U", but it can have any shape, compatible with its function of maintaining a fixed height between the part upper part of the head of rail 1 and the upper part of formwork elements 61. The use of template 7 allows thus to determine the thickness of the base 3 to be produced during from step (b) of the process so that the surface upper of the cladding slab 4 is at the same level that the top of rail 1 as seen on Figure 4.

When the elements 61 constituting the formwork 6 are correctly placed and have an appropriate height according to the criteria that we described above, these elements 61 of the formwork 6 can be fixed to the template 7 by screws side 13 as shown in Figure 5. The elements 61 of the formwork 6 can also be fixed to the foundation slab 2. Attachment to foundation slab 2 can intervene by the cooperation of a threaded screw 15 with a nut 16, the screw 15 being fixed in the foundation slab 2 by a dowel 17. Preferably the threaded screw 15 is placed at the level of a reservation 18 arranged in the elements 61 of the formwork 6, as shown in Figure 7

Preferably, the coating material poured into the formwork 6 is resilient, and strongly adhered to the rail and concrete constituting the foundation slab thanks to the use of a hanging primer.

Alternatively, step (b) of coating a part lower of each rail 1 further comprises the setting place of means (9, 14) for adjusting the position of the formwork elements 61 on either side of the front rail 1 the step of fixing the formwork elements 61 in the position as determined by the template. It can be by example of a screw 9 associated with one or more stops 14. The rotational movement of the screw 9 within a bore of the template 7 allows you to move template 7 until the rail be blocked between the screw 9 and the stops 14 as is shown in Figure 5. The shims 14 are arranged on the template 7 so that when the screw immobilizes the gauge 7 on rail 1 when the position of the formwork 61 is compatible with the formation of a base 3 an upper surface of which can serve as a support for a slab coating 4.

Preferably, the templates 7 are spaced one of the others of about two meters as shown in figure 6.

The result obtained after the implementation of the process is a traffic-type platform, an example of which is presented in perspective in Figure 8.
