Abstract
A reinforcement for strengthening soil areas, ground surfaces, and in particular subsoils, and earthwork structures includes at least one reinforcement element, preferably a plurality of reinforcement elements which, in particular, intersect at an angle, wherein the at least one reinforcement element includes at least one actuator by way of which a property of the reinforcement element can be changed, and in particular at least temporarily changed. A structure on a subsoil, and in particular an earthwork structure includes the aforementioned reinforcement, and a method is provided for operating the aforementioned reinforcement.
Claims10
A reinforcement for strengthening soil areas, ground surfaces, subsoils, and earthwork structures, comprising at least one reinforcement element or a plurality of reinforcement elements which intersect at an angle, wherein at least one of the reinforcement elements comprises or is operatively connected to at least one actuator configured to at least temporarily change a property of the reinforcement element, and the reinforcement further comprising at least one control unit and at least one sensor configured to measure and detect a state of the at least one reinforcement element or the at least one cell rib and/or of the environment thereof, the control unit being configured to activate the at least one actuator as a function of the detected state.
