Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a protective structure having a plurality of supports arranged spaced apart from each other; having a trapping device which is guided on the supports via at least one support cable arrangement; and having a ground anchorage for free ends of the at least one support cable arrangement. The ground anchorage is designed as a deadman anchorage.
Claims14
A protective structure, comprising:
- a plurality of supports arranged in a manner spaced apart from and adjacent to each other;
- a trapping device guided on the supports via at least one support cable arrangement;
- and
- a ground anchorage for free ends of the at least one support cable arrangement;

A method for dissipating a tensile load applied to a support cable of a support cable arrangement of a protective structure, the method comprising:
- arranging a plurality of supports spaced apart from and adjacent to each other;
- surrounding buried base arrangements of each of the plurality of supports by an erosion protection device;
- guiding a trapping device on the plurality of supports via the support cable arrangement;
- connecting a free end of the support cable of the support cable arrangement to a deadman anchor;
- placing the deadman anchor and a rope portion adjoining the free end in soil material of a mounting region of the protective structure;
- and
- applying a tensile load to the support cable and pulling the deadman anchor through the soil material.
