Abstract
The lower end of an outwardly tight shaft structure (3) for a bore shaft (1) rests on a tilting joint arrangement (15, 20). This arrangement includes a hydraulic thrust bearing (15) at the end face of the shaft structure (3) and a hydraulic annular cylinder (20) at the circumference of the lower end of the shaft structure (3). Thus, this tilting joint arrangement (15, 20) is located between the shaft structure (3) and the base (10) and permits tilting of the shaft structure (3) relative to the ground (12) without impairing the water-tightness of the bore shaft foundation.
Claims5
Water-tight bore shaft foundation, particularly for bore shafts which are subjected to significant mining influences, the bore shaft foundations being formed by a base (10) for a shaft structure (3), the base (10) being made of underwater concrete after the outwardly tight shaft structure has been floated in, and by a soft asphalt (13) introduced into the annular space between the shaft structure (3) and the ground above the base (10) while displacing the drilling liquid (2), characterized in that a hydraulic tilting joint arrangement (15, 20) is provided between the base (10) and the shaft structure (3), the tilting joint arrangement being formed by a thrust bearing arranged on the end face of the shaft structure (3) and filled with a hydraulic medium (19) and by an annular cylinder (20) which rests circumferentially on the outside of the lower portion of the shaft structure (3), the annular cylinder being formed of a steel jacket which is also filled with the hydraulic medium (19), and that the annular cylinder (20) extends from the thrust bearing (15) upwardly through an end face (23) of a portion (21) of the base (10) which surrounds in a circular ring shape the shaft structure (3) up into the annular space with the soft asphalt (13).
