Abstract
Durable flat panels are connectable at their edges and are of appropriate shape and dimension to be quickly and simply assembled and secured into a closed hollow prismatic module configuration. A dense fill material is loaded onto the bottom panel prior to closure providing mass for strength and stability against impacts. The flat panels may be hingeably interconnected and foldable to optionally form a compact stackable configuration for storage and transport. A multiplicity of such modules may be positioned and connected to form a continuous massive wall for such uses as reducing damaging wave action, preventing beach erosion, directing water in flood areas, and providing highway barriers for guidance and safety.
Claims6
A traffic or wave barrier comprising:
- a multiplicity of substantially non-perforated, detachable flat panels, means for connecting edges of said substantially non-perforated, detachable flat panels, wherein said multiplicity of substantially non-perforated, detachable flat panels is assembleable into at least one configuration for transporting and storing and said multiplicity of substantially non-perforated, detachable flat panels is alternatively assembleable into a substantially hollow closed module having substantially prismatic configuration with at least one nonvertical sidewall and thereafter corresponding edges of said multiplicity of said substantially non-perforated, detachable flat panels are connected , wherein said substantially hollow closed module is filled with a substantially dense fill material, the dense fill material is selected from a group consisting of gravel, sand, dirt and broken concrete.
