Abstract
A civil engineering structure for guiding a line in a slot in a surface area outdoors, said slot being formed by a milling or grinding process. A protective cover which consists of sub-pieces connected together in an articulated manner, extends above the line in the slot. The volume region of the slot in which the line is located is unfilled and is protected against expected compressive loads from the top by the sub-pieces. Because the sub-pieces are connected together in an articulated manner, the cover can be inserted without difficulty into longitudinal regions of the slot that have a curved course.
Claims12
A civil engineering structure for conducting a line in a slit trench, made by milling or cutting, in an outdoor ground area, wherein a protective cover, which consists of portions each downwardly supported against lateral boundary surfaces of the volume of the slit trench, extends in the slit trench above the line, wherein the portions are arranged in line with one another along the longitudinal direction of the slit trench and articulatedly connected to one another in such a way that they can be pivoted relative to one another about vertical axes,
- wherein
- that volume region of the slit trench where the line is located is unfilled, and in that the portions are designed fixedly with respect to flexural strength about bending axes parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slit trench such that they upwardly protect the spanned, unfilled volume region against the compressive force loading that is to be expected.
