Abstract
A construction including at least one pile-type device that is anchored in or on the ground and essentially consists of a longitudinal pile element. The pile-type device also includes at least one reinforcement element, which is configured and located in such a way that a gap is formed between the reinforcement element and the pile element. The gap can be filled at least partially with at least one loose and/or free-flowing material.
Claims28
A foundation for a construction (8) with at least one pile-like device that is anchored in or on the ground (M) and comprises an elongate pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51), wherein the pile-like device also has at least one reinforcement element (2, 22, 32, 42, 52) that is constructed and disposed such between the reinforcement element (2, 22, 32, 42, 52) and the pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51), a gap is formed, and wherein said gap can be at least partially filled with at least one free-flowing filling material (6, 10a, 10b, 30a, 30b).
A method for introducing a pile-like device having a pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51) into the ground as a foundation of a construction (8), comprising the following method steps:
- introducing the pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51) into the ground,
- disposing over or in the pile-like device a junction piece (3, 23, 33, 43), said *unction piece serving to connect the pile-like device to the construction (8),
- connecting the junction piece to the pile-like device, wherein:
- before or after the introduction of the pile element (1, 21, 31,41, 51) into the ground, introducing a reinforcement element (2, 22, 32, 42, 52) into the ground, the reinforcement element being constructed and disposed relative to the pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51) such that an increase in a strength of the pile-like device is achieved, and
- filling, at least partially, gaps between the junction piece and the pile-like device with a filling material.
A method of dismantling a foundation for a construction (8) with at least one pile-like device that is anchored in or on the ground (M) and comprises an elongate pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51), wherein the pile-like device also has at least one reinforcement element (2, 22, 32, 42, 52) that is constructed and disposed such that, between the reinforcement element (2, 22, 32, 42, 52) and the pile element (1, 21, 31, 41, 51), a gap is formed, and wherein said gap can be at least Partially filled with at least one free-flowing filling material (6, 10a, 10b, 30a, 30b) wherein the pile element is constructed as an inner tube and the reinforcement element is constructed as an outer tube and wherein, after removal of the supported construction, comprising the steps of:
- detaching the outer tube in a region of a level of a seabed,
- withdrawing the outer tube so that the filling material escapes downwards onto the seabed,
- detaching the inner tube in the region of the level of the seabed and then withdrawing the inner tube.
