Abstract
A wind break having a blade is mounted between an inbound lane and an outbound lane, which is the opposite lane of the inbound lane. The blade has a back surface facing the same direction as an inbound traveling direction and a front surface facing the same direction as an outbound traveling direction. The back surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the outbound traveling direction in order to change wind blowing from the outbound lane into wind having a component of the inbound traveling direction. The front surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the inbound traveling direction in order to change wind blowing from the inbound lane into wind having a component of the outbound traveling direction.
Claims15
A structural object for road to be mounted between a first lane and a second lane being an opposite lane of the first lane, comprising:
- a first wall surface facing the same direction as a traveling direction of the first lane;
- and
- a second wall surface facing the same direction as a traveling direction of the second lane, the second wall surface being an opposite surface of the first wall surface, wherein
- the first wall surface has only one concave part that is formed over the entire first wall surface, and is concave in the same direction as the traveling direction of the second lane in order to change wind blowing from the second lane into wind having a component of the traveling direction of the first lane, and
- the second wall surface has only one concave part that is formed over the entire second wall surface, and is concave in the same direction as the traveling direction of the first lane in order to change wind blowing from the first lane into wind having a component of the traveling direction of the second lane.
A structural object for road to be mounted between a first lane and a second lane being an opposite lane of the first lane, comprising:
- a first wall surface facing the same direction as a traveling direction of the first lane;
- and
- a second wall surface facing the same direction as a traveling direction of the second lane, wherein
- the first wall surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the traveling direction of the second lane in order to change wind blowing from the second lane into wind having a component of the traveling direction of the first lane,
- the second wall surface has a concave part that is concave in the same direction as the traveling direction of the first lane in order to change wind blowing from the first lane into wind having a component of the traveling direction of the second lane,
- the structural object has a first curved plate that is curved to be convex toward the traveling direction of the second lane in a plan view, a flat plate that is inclined toward the traveling direction of the first lane in the plan view as it goes from the first lane to the second lane, and a second curved plate that is curved to be convex toward the traveling direction of the first lane in the plan view, in order from the first lane to the second lane, and is formed to be substantially S shaped in the plan view,
- the first curved plate and the flat plate form the concave part of the first wall surface, and
- the flat plate and the second curved plate form the concave part of the second wall surface.
