Abstract
The invention relates to a noise-protection wall-segment, for example for roads, motorways or railways and such like, said noise-protection wall-segment including transparent sheets, preferably a transparent plastic sheets, and means fixing the sheets. The transparent sheet is shaped around a perpendicular to the installation surface of the assembled noise-protection wall, the term ‘shaping’ being understood to mean vaulting and/or folding. Moreover, in the case of plastic sheets, preferably made of acrylic glass, threads of synthetic material can be embedded in the sheet which counteract splintering in the event of fracture and constitute a recognized bird impact protection device.
Claims28
A noise-protection wall-segment, which comprises:
- first and second transparent sheets;
- a fixing device for fixing the sheets in place, wherein the sheets, relative to an arrangement in an assembled noise-protection wall, are each curved, respectively, around vertical lines so as to extend out of the plane of the wall defined by the noise-protection wall;
- and
- a support for the sheets wherein the sheets are each shaped in such a manner that loads due to wind pressure thereon are conducted away into said support without the use of posts, support members or load-bearing members arranged between said first and second sheets.
A noise-protection wall having at least one noise-protection wall segment, which comprises:
- first and second transparent sheets;
- a fixing device for fixing the sheets in place, wherein the sheets, relative to an arrangement in an assembled noise-protection wall, are each curved, respectively, around vertical lines so as to extend out of the plane of the wall defined by the noise-protection wall;
- and
- a support for the sheets wherein the sheets are each shaped in such a manner that loads due to wind pressure thereon are transferred to said support without the use of posts, support members or load-bearing members arranged between said first and second sheets.
A process for producing a noise-protection wall-segment which comprises:
- shaping a first and second transparent sheet in such a manner that the sheets, relative to an arrangement thereof in an assembled noise-protection wall, are one of vaulted and folded around vertical lines, respectively, located out of the plane of the noise-protection wall, and
- positioning the transparent sheets on one of a foundation and a pedestal side by using one of fixing and clamping mechanism without the use of posts, supporting members or load bearing members.
