Abstract
The invention relates to a stone, in particular a dam stone for a flood dam. In order to be able to build a stable flood dam in an easy way, according to the invention a cover surface is provided with at least two ribs and an opposing base surface is provided with at least two grooves corresponding to the ribs so as to create an indirect connection between two stones by means of a third stone that can be detached by applying a tensile force perpendicular to the base surface. The invention further relates to the use of such a stone. In addition, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a mass retention structure, in particular a flood dam.
Claims14
A stone, in particular a dam stone for a flood dam, the stone comprising:
- a cover surface;
- at least two elongate, parallel ribs extending longitudinally across the cover surface;
- a base surface opposing the cover surface;
- and
- at least two elongate, parallel grooves extending longitudinally across the base surface and corresponding to the at least two elongate, parallel ribs so as to create an indirect connection between two stones by a third stone that can be detached by applying a tensile force perpendicular to the base surface,
- wherein a ratio of a rib distance, which is a distance between a center of the at least two elongate, parallel ribs, to an edge distance, which is a distance between the center of one of the at least two elongate, parallel ribs and an edge of the stone, is 2:1.
A stone, comprising:
- a cover surface;
- a base surface opposing the cover surface;
- two opposing lateral ends;
- two opposing side surfaces disposed between the two opposing lateral ends;
- at least two elongate, parallel ribs extending longitudinally across the cover surface;
- and
- at least two elongate, parallel grooves extending longitudinally across the base surface and corresponding to the at least two elongate, parallel ribs,
- wherein a ratio of a rib distance, which is a distance between a center of the at least two elongate, parallel ribs, to an edge distance, which is a distance between the center of one of the at least two elongate, parallel ribs and an edge of the stone, is 2:1.
