US 11,938,651 B2 · Concrete tube and formwork device and method for producing such a concrete tube

Abstract

A method for producing a concrete tube for a hyperloop passenger transport system. The concrete tube is concreted in situ by means of a formwork device. The formwork device has a formwork carriage which moves forwards during concreting. The formwork carriage has an inner form and an outer form for shuttering the concrete tube. An interspace between the inner form and outer form is filled, in particular continuously, with concrete. The solidified concrete tube can be supported on pillars via bearings. The freshly solidified portion of the concrete tube is preferably supported on the inside by inner rollers and on the outside by outer rollers. In order to support the formwork carriage on the pillars, the formwork device can have supporting rollers. The formwork device for implementing the method and to the concrete tube produced by the method for the hyperloop passenger transport system.

Dependent claims

A formwork device for producing a horizontal concrete tube using a cast-in-place concrete construction, the formwork device comprising:

a formwork carriage that is horizontally movable on spaced-apart columns;
an outer mold and an inner mold that delimit a space, wherein concrete is introduced into the space via of a filling connection to form the concrete tube;
and
an end element for closing the space at an end,
wherein the end element is positioned at an angle with respect to an upper part of the space and a lower part of the space such that there is difference in distance between the filling connection and a solidification front in the upper part and the lower part.
