Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des structures modulaires autoporteuses, démontables et remontables, pour la création de surfaces végétalisées et possiblement de circulation en terrasse. Elle permet la réappropriation en terrasse, pour des besoins de jardinage, de maraichage ou d'agrément, de surfaces imperméabilisées telles que les parcs de stationnement en surface, les toitures d'immeubles, ou de surfaces neutralisées telles que les bassins de rétention paysagés.The present invention relates to the field of modular self-supporting structures, removable and remountable, for the creation of vegetated surfaces and possibly terrace traffic.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les surfaces disponibles pour la création de jardins urbains et d'espaces verts en pleine terre se réduisent en ville à des interstices urbains car les surfaces de stationnement et les zones de circulation piétonne, qui doivent accompagner tout projet de construction, grèvent sérieusement les surfaces disponibles hors bâtiments. La présente invention a pour but de permettre la réappropriation de ces emprises, utiles aux seuls véhicules, à d'autres fins, et notamment à la création d'espaces verts urbains ou de zones de maraîchage urbaines pour des particuliers, et plus généralement de zones de culture ou d'agrément. Elle a pour but de proposer un système qui convient à la fois à la réappropriation d'emprises déjà existantes, dans le cadre d'un projet de rénovation urbaine, et à l'appropriation d'emprises neutralisées dans le cade de constructions nouvelles. Un autre but est de proposer un système qui soit réversible, c'est-à-dire qui puisse être démonté sans recourir à des travaux lourds, pour son entretien, pour des modifications ou pour sa relocalisation sur un autre site. D'une manière générale l'idée de réversibilité tient une place de plus en plus prépondérante dans la construction.The areas available for the creation of urban gardens and green spaces in the ground are reduced in urban to urban interstices because the parking areas and pedestrian traffic areas, which must accompany any construction project, seriously undermine the available surfaces outside buildings. The present invention aims to allow the reappropriation of these rights of way, useful only for vehicles, for other purposes, including the creation of urban green spaces or urban market gardening areas for individuals, and more generally areas of culture or pleasure. Its purpose is to propose a system that is suitable both for the reappropriation of existing rights-of-way, as part of an urban renewal project, and for the appropriation of neutralized rights-of-way in new constructions. Another aim is to propose a system that is reversible, that is to say that can be dismantled without resorting to heavy work, for maintenance, for modifications or for relocation to another site. In a general way the idea of reversibility holds a more and more prominent place in the construction.

De nombreux types de structures modulaires sont connus de l'état de la technique. Le brevet européen EP 0 364 414 décrit une structure modulaire pour la construction de zones de stationnement temporaire de véhicules comprenant un premier étage accessible par une ou plusieurs rampes d'accès et un rez-de-chaussée, couvert par le premier étage, qui est également utilisable en tant que zone de stationnement.
La structure modulaire est obtenue par assemblage d'un nombre déterminé d'unités de structures modulaires, dont chacune comprend : une dalle de plancher carré ou rectangulaire en tôle d'acier nervuré remplie dans sa partie supérieure par un matériau de remplissage et de finition, quatre poutres en acier, une pour chaque bord de la dalle de plancher, quatre éléments de jonction en acier au niveau des coins de la dalle de sol, quatre éléments verticaux de support en acier situés sous chaque élément de jonction, et quatre bases de métal situées sous chaque élément de support vertical. Ce système ne s'adapte pas facilement aux variations de niveau du sol.Many types of modular structures are known from the state of the art. The European patent EP 0 364 414 describes a modular structure for the construction of temporary parking areas for vehicles comprising a first floor accessible by one or more access ramps and a ground floor, covered by the first floor, which can also be used as a parking area. parking.
The modular structure is obtained by assembling a fixed number of units of modular structures, each of which comprises: a square or rectangular floor slab of ribbed steel sheet filled at the top with a filling and finishing material, four steel beams, one for each edge of the floor slab, four steel connecting elements at the corners of the floor slab, four vertical support elements steel under each junction member, and four metal bases under each vertical support member. This system does not easily adapt to soil level variations.

Le brevet européen EP 1 736 616 décrit un parking modulaire démontable et remontable pour des véhicules à moteur, comprenant au moins un étage supérieur en plus du rez-de-chaussée, un nombre déterminé d'unités structurelles modulaires et d'éléments de contreventements, chaque unité structurelle comprenant : un plancher carré ou rectangulaire qui supportent une dalle de plancher unique ou plusieurs dalles de plancher côte à côte, la dalle de plancher ou les dalles de plancher étant formées en utilisant de la tôle d'acier, quatre éléments de jonction, sur lesquels le plancher est en appui au niveau de ses quatre coins, quatre éléments de support verticaux en acier au niveau de la partie supérieure desquels un élément de jonction est agencé, et quatre bases en acier, chaque base comprenant une plaque de base à partir de laquelle un collier tubulaire s'étend coaxialement vers le haut pour recevoir de manière assez lâche l'extrémité inférieure de l'élément de support vertical relatif, caractérisée en ce que le plancher comprend au moins deux poutres de bord en acier parallèles les unes aux autres, chaque élément de support vertical est formé en une seule pièce d'une longueur fixe, dont l'extrémité inférieure peut être insérée directement de manière lâche dans le collier tubulaire de la base relative.
Bien que la réalisation de cette structure modulaire soit simple, néanmoins le principal inconvénient reste son manque d'adaptabilité à tout type de terrain, plus précisément à toute variation du niveau du sol car la structure modulaire comprend des éléments de support verticaux fixes.The European patent EP 1 736 616 discloses a dismountable and remountable modular parking for motor vehicles, comprising at least one upper floor in addition to the ground floor, a fixed number of modular structural units and bracing elements, each structural unit comprising: a floor square or rectangular which supports a single floor slab or several floor slabs side by side, the floor slab or floor slabs being formed using sheet steel, four joining elements, on which the floor is support at its four corners, four vertical steel support members at the top of which a connecting member is arranged, and four steel bases, each base comprising a base plate from which a tubular collar extends coaxially upwards to loosely receive the lower end of the relative vertical support member, characterized in that the floor comprises at least two steel edge beams parallel to each other, each vertical support member is formed in one piece of a fixed length, the lower end of which can be inserted directly loosely in the tubular collar of the relative base.
Although the realization of this modular structure is simple, nevertheless the main disadvantage is its lack of adaptability to any type of terrain, specifically any variation in the ground level because the modular structure comprises fixed vertical support elements.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une nouvelle structure modulaire démontable et remontable, autoportante, adaptable à toute type de terrain et facile d'installation. Un autre but de l'invention consiste à proposer une structure modulaire utilisable à toutes fins utiles mais participant à une revalorisation du paysage urbain.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new modular structure dismountable and remountable, self-supporting, adaptable to any type of terrain and easy installation. Another object of the invention is to provide a modular structure usable for all purposes but participating in a revaluation of the urban landscape.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

La structure modulaire selon l'invention comporte :

  • des éléments de support verticaux (poteaux) 1 fixés au sol 20 au moyen de bases 4 ;
  • des éléments de support horizontaux (poutres) 2a, 2b disposés sur lesdits éléments de support verticaux 1 ;
  • une pluralité de modules de couverture 5 rectangulaires.
The modular structure according to the invention comprises:
  • vertical support members (posts) 1 fixed to the ground 20 by means of bases 4 ;
  • horizontal support members (beams) 2a, 2b disposed on said vertical support members 1 ;
  • a plurality of rectangular cover 5 modules.

Lesdits éléments de supports verticaux 1 et horizontaux 2a,2b forment une ossature (piètement) agissant comme une structure primaire autoporteuse, qui supporte les modules de couverture 5, et dans laquelle lesdits éléments de support horizontaux forment des rectangles. Deux éléments de support verticaux 1 voisins sont reliés par deux éléments de supports horizontaux 2a,2b parallèles, à l'exception des éléments de support verticaux 1 situés en périphérie de ladite ossature qui peuvent n'être reliés entre eux que par un seul élément de support horizontal 2a,2b, sachant que lesdits deux éléments de supports horizontaux 2a,2b parallèles peuvent être réalisés sous la forme d'une seule pièce présentant deux zones de supports parallèles. Dans ce dernier cas il faut donc prévoir un type de poutre particulier pour les éléments de support horizontal 2a,2b qui relient entre eux des éléments de support verticaux 1 situés en périphérie de l'ossature. Ces deux zones de support parallèles peuvent avoir une hauteur égale ou différente.Said elements of vertical and horizontal supports 1 2a, 2b form a framework (frame) serving as a self-supporting primary structure, which supports the covering modules 5, and wherein said horizontal support members form rectangles. Two adjacent vertical support elements 1 are connected by two parallel horizontal support elements 2a, 2b , with the exception of the support elements vertical members 1 located at the periphery of said framework which can be connected to each other only by a single horizontal support element 2a, 2b, knowing that said two parallel horizontal support elements 2a, 2b can be made in the form of a single part with two parallel support areas. In the latter case, it is therefore necessary to provide a particular type of beam for the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b which connect vertical support elements 1 located at the periphery of the framework. These two parallel support zones may have an equal or different height.

Par supports verticaux 1 voisins, il faut comprendre les supports verticaux selon l'axe XX' ou l'axe YY' tel que représenté sur la figure 1. Ainsi, l'ossature horizontale formée par les éléments de support horizontaux 2a,2b constitue une structure dite à double poutraison. Cette disposition permet de dissocier les appuis individuels des modules de couverture 5 pour mieux gérer l'adaptation altimétrique de la structure modulaire au sol d'assise 20. De plus, cette disposition (qui dissocie les appuis des modules de couverture 5) permet une dépose desdits modules de couverture 5 indépendamment les uns des autres, ce qui facilite la réversibilité de l'implantation de la structure modulaire. Les modules de couverture 5 sont conçus pour être autoportants longitudinalement et/ou transversalement entre appuis sur les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b. By adjacent vertical supports 1 , it is necessary to understand the vertical supports along the axis XX 'or the axis YY' as represented on FIG. figure 1 . Thus, the horizontal framework formed by the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b is a so-called double-beam structure. This arrangement makes it possible to dissociate the individual supports from the roofing modules 5 in order to better manage the altimetric adaptation of the modular structure to the ground floor 20. Moreover, this arrangement (which separates the supports of the roof modules 5 ) allows a removal. said cover modules 5 independently of each other, which facilitates the reversibility of the implementation of the modular structure. The covering modules 5 are designed to be self-supporting longitudinally and / or transversely between supports on the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier selon l'invention, la structure modulaire comprend en outre des contreventements longitudinaux 3a et/ou transversaux 3b reliant deux éléments de supports verticaux 1 voisins pour améliorer la stabilité globale de ladite structure modulaire.In a particular embodiment according to the invention, the modular structure further comprises longitudinal braces 3a and / or transverse 3b connecting two adjacent vertical support elements 1 to improve the overall stability of said modular structure.

Les variations de niveau du sol 20 peuvent être accommodées par la longueur des éléments de support verticaux 1. Des platines ou des longrines 4, situées préférentiellement à la base des éléments de support verticaux 1, peuvent également être utilisées pour accommoder des faibles variations de niveau du sol 20. Le mode de fondation des platines 4 est fonction de la portance du sol support et n'est pas détaillé dans la cadre de la présente invention. Alternativement, des systèmes à rotule peuvent être utilisés pour permettre le nivellement général de la structure modulaire vis-à-vis du sol d'assise. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la structure modulaire peut être aménagée en redan (cf. figure 3b). Ainsi, l'ossature de la structure modulaire peut être adaptée en étude ou au cours du montage suivant les variations du niveau du sol 20 sur lequel ladite structure prend appui.Variations in ground level 20 can be accommodated by the length of the vertical support members 1. plates or stringers 4, preferably located at the base of vertical support members 1, can also be used to accommodate the low level variations 20. The method of foundation of the plates 4 is a function of the lift of the support ground and is not detailed in the context of the present invention. Alternatively, ball systems may be used to allow the general leveling of the modular structure vis-à-vis the floor. In a particular embodiment, the modular structure can be arranged in redan (cf. figure 3b ). Thus, the framework of the modular structure can be adapted to study or during assembly according to the variations of the ground level 20 on which said structure is supported.

Les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b parallèles, appelés ici aussi « poutres », peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau approprié tel qu'en métal, et en particulier en acier ou en aluminium, en béton armé ou en bois. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b peuvent être réalisés en une seule poutre en « H », « U » ou « X » (les deux zones de support parallèles représentées par les deux branches du « H », « U » ou « X » pouvant avoir une hauteur égale ou différente), ou encore en poutre treillis. De plus, la longueur des éléments de support horizontaux 2a peut être différente de celle des éléments de support horizontaux 2b. A titre d'exemple, la longueur des éléments de support horizontaux 2a peut être sensiblement égale à la longueur totale de la structure modulaire (sauf dans le cas de la pose à redan pour laquelle les poutres 2a sont interrompues), c'est-à-dire qu'un élément de support horizontal 2a peut supporter plusieurs modules de couverture 5 en leur largeur, alors que la longueur des éléments de support horizontaux 2b est sensiblement égale à la longueur d'un module de couverture 5. Alternativement, la longueur des éléments de support horizontaux 2b peut être sensiblement égale à la longueur totale de la structure modulaire, c'est-à-dire un élément de support horizontal 2b peut supporter plusieurs modules de couvertures 5 en leur longueur, alors que la longueur des éléments de support horizontaux 2a est sensiblement égale à la largeur d'un module de couverture 5. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les dimensions (longueur et largeur) d'un module de couverture 5 sont déterminées par la dimension d'une place de parking qu'ils recouvrent ; à titre d'exemple, sa longueur peut être de l'ordre de 5 mètres et sa largeur de l'ordre de 2,5 mètres. Les longueurs des éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b sont donc proches d'un multiple des côtés du rectangle formé par un module de couverture 5. Parallel horizontal support elements 2a, 2b , also called "beams" here, may be made of any suitable material such as metal, and in particular steel or aluminum, reinforced concrete or wood. In a particular embodiment, the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b can be made in a single "H", "U" or "X" beam (the two parallel support zones represented by the two branches of the "H" , "U" or "X" may have equal or different height), or trellis. In addition, the length of the horizontal support members 2a may be different from that of the horizontal support members 2b. For example, the length of horizontal support members 2a may be substantially equal to the total length of the modular structure (except in the case of installation in recess to which the beams are interrupted 2a), that is to that is, that a horizontal support element 2a can support a plurality of covering modules 5 in their width, while the length of the horizontal support elements 2b is substantially equal to the length of a covering module 5. Alternatively, the length of the horizontal support members 2b may be substantially equal to the total length of the modular structure, i.e., a horizontal support member 2b may support a plurality of roof modules 5 in their length, while the length of the support members 2a is substantially equal to the width of a cover module 5. In a particular embodiment, the dimensions (length and width) of a cover module 5 are t determined by the size of a parking space they cover; for example, its length may be of the order of 5 meters and its width of the order of 2.5 meters. The lengths of the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b are thus close to a multiple of the sides of the rectangle formed by a covering module 5.

Les éléments de supports verticaux 1, appelés ici aussi « poteaux », peuvent avoir toute section appropriée : carré, rectangulaire, circulaire, ovale. Ils peuvent également être réalisés en tout matériau adapté tel qu'en métal, et en particulier en acier ou en aluminium, en béton armé. Pour certaines variantes particulières de réalisation, ils peuvent être réalisés en bois.The vertical support members 1, here also called "posts", may have any appropriate section: square, rectangular, circular, oval. They can also be made of any suitable material such as metal, and in particular steel or aluminum, reinforced concrete. For certain particular embodiments, they can be made of wood.

Pour rigidifier l'ossature composée d'éléments de support verticaux 1 et horizontaux 2a, 2b, différents moyens de jonction peuvent être mis en oeuvre, et peuvent être combinés entre eux. Dans une première variante, des encoches (non montrées sur les figures) situées sur la face supérieure des éléments de support verticaux 1 peuvent être réalisées pour accueillir des protubérances correspondantes réalisées à l'extrémité des surfaces d'appui des éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b. Alternativement, des encoches situées dans les surfaces d'appui des éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b peuvent être réalisées pour accueillir des protubérances réalisées sur la face supérieure des éléments de support verticaux 1. Dans une autre variante de réalisation, les éléments de support verticaux 1 et les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b sont fixés entre eux par boulonnage.To stiffen the frame composed of vertical support members 1 and horizontal 2a, 2b, different joining means may be implemented, and may be combined. In a first variant, notches (not shown in the figures) located on the upper face of the vertical support elements 1 can be made to accommodate corresponding protuberances formed at the end of the bearing surfaces of the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b. Alternatively, notches located in the bearing surfaces of the horizontal support members 2a, 2b can be made to accommodate protuberances formed on the upper face of the vertical support members 1. In another variant embodiment, the vertical support elements 1 and the elements horizontal supports 2a, 2b are fixed together by bolting.

Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent être en appui sur les éléments de supports horizontaux 2a, 2b au niveau de ses quatre coins ou sur toute sa longueur ou sa largeur. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les modules de couverture 5 sont en appui sur toute leur largeur et présentent des rebords se dirigeant vers le bas (cf. figures 3a), lesdits rebords se dirigeant vers le bas sont appelés ici « retombée en rive » 18. Ces retombées en rive 18 recouvrent et protègent les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b. Les retombées en rive 18 s'étendent avantageusement sur toute la largeur des modules de couverture 5. De plus, ces retombées 18 participent à la portée des bacs 5 et à la stabilisation de l'ossature de la structure modulaire car elles constituent des poutres en U. Ces retombées 18 participent également à l'habillage des rives de la structure modulaire ou à l'habillage des décrochés à redan 12 (cf. figure 3b). A titre d'exemple, deux modules de couverture 5 se situant en prolongement l'un de l'autre peuvent avoir des rebords qui se touchent entre deux éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b ou entre les deux zones de support du même élément de support horizontal (cf. figures 3a et 3b).The covering modules 5 can be supported on the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b at its four corners or over its entire length or width. In a preferred embodiment, the covering modules 5 are supported over their entire width and have flanges pointing downwards (cf. figures 3a ), said downward ledges are referred to here as "fall to shore" 18 . These fallbacks 18 overlap and protect the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b. The fallout 18 advantageously extend over the entire width of the roof modules 5. In addition, these fallouts 18 participate in the range of the tanks 5 and the stabilization of the frame of the modular structure because they constitute beams in U. These fallouts 18 also participate in the cladding of the banks of the modular structure or the cladding of the staggered outlets 12 (cf. figure 3b ). By way of example, two covering modules 5 lying in extension of one another may have flanges that touch each other between two horizontal support elements 2a, 2b or between the two support zones of the same support element. horizontal (cf. figures 3a and 3b ).

Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent comprendre un bac d'étanchéités 16, rigide ou souple. Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent être identiques ou différents par leur structure, par leur dimension et/ou par leur fonction. A titre d'exemple, les modules de couverture 5 peuvent être réalisés sous la forme de dalles de plancher notamment pour la réalisation de zones de circulation pour piétons 9, ou de zone végétalisées apte à recevoir de la terre végétale 8 (pour des plantations). Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau approprié, tel qu'en métal (notamment en acier ou en aluminium), en béton armé ou fibré haute performance, ou éventuellement en bois. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les modules de couverture 5 sont réalisés en béton armé et revêtus d'une couche d'étanchéité bitumineuse et d'un bac d'étanchéité 16. The covering modules 5 may comprise a sealing tank 16, rigid or flexible. The cover modules 5 may be identical or different in structure, size and / or function. By way of example, the roofing modules 5 can be made in the form of floor slabs, in particular for producing pedestrian circulation zones 9, or in a vegetated zone capable of receiving topsoil 8 (for plantations). . The cover modules 5 may be made of any suitable material, such as metal (especially steel or aluminum), reinforced concrete or fiber reinforced high performance, or possibly wood. In a particular embodiment, the roofing modules 5 are made of reinforced concrete and coated with a bituminous waterproofing layer and a sealing tank 16.

D'une manière générale, les modules 5 sont dimensionnés pour pouvoir soutenir le poids de la terre végétale 8 et des activités en terrasse. Ils peuvent être équipés de bacs d'étanchéité 16, souples ou rigides, en tenant compte de son usage prévu (bac à plantation par exemple). De manière générale, les modules de couverture 5 se présentent sous la forme d'un cadre présentant en bordure une surface sensiblement horizontale appelée ici « surface périphérique horizontale » qui est destinée à recouvrir les éléments de supports horizontaux 2a, 2b, et qui présente avantageusement sur deux faces opposées des retombées en rive 18. Cette surface périphérique horizontale peut constituer un espace de circulation. Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent être réalisés sous la forme d'un bac, c'est-à-dire que ladite surface périphérique horizontale se termine vers l'intérieur par une zone creuse formant le bac. Les modules de couverture 5 ont, en plan, une forme essentiellement rectangulaire. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, leur longueur et largeur correspondent aux dimensions d'une place de parking pour véhicule léger (par exemple 5 mètres par 2,5 mètres).In general, the modules 5 are sized to support the weight of topsoil 8 and activities on the terrace. They can be equipped with sealing tanks 16, flexible or rigid, taking into account its intended use (planting tray for example). In general, the cover modules 5 present themselves in the form of a frame having a substantially horizontal surface bordering here "horizontal peripheral surface" which is intended to cover the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b, and which advantageously has on two opposite sides of the fallout 18. horizontal peripheral surface may constitute a circulation space. The cover modules 5 can be made in the form of a tray, that is to say that said horizontal peripheral surface ends inwardly by a hollow area forming the tray. The cover modules 5 have, in plan, a substantially rectangular shape. In a particular embodiment, their length and width correspond to the dimensions of a parking space for a light vehicle (for example 5 meters by 2.5 meters).

Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent avantageusement être réalisés en une seule pièce (monobloc). Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, les modules de couverture 5 sont combinables entre eux et forment une gamme d'agencement de la surface haute (circulations communes, jardins privatifs, espaces communs, etc). Dans certains modes de réalisation particuliers selon l'invention, les modules de couvertures sont constitués de plusieurs pièces, à savoir un caisson structurant 21 et un habillage de circulation 22. The covering modules 5 can advantageously be made in one piece (monobloc). In a particular embodiment, the cover modules 5 are combinable with each other and form a range of arrangement of the upper surface (common circulations, private gardens, common areas, etc.). In certain particular embodiments of the invention, the roof modules consist of several rooms, namely a structuring box 21 and a circulation covering 22.

Avantageusement, les modules de couverture 5 présentent des percements 19 sur les retombées périphériques permettant de les lier entre eux afin de renforcer la structure modulaire dans le plan horizontal. Des joints d'étanchéité peuvent être placés entre les modules de couverture 5 liés entre eux afin de protéger les éléments de support verticaux 1 et horizontaux 2a, 2b. Ces percements peuvent aussi servir pour fixer des moyens temporaires d'accrochage lors de la mise en place des modules 5 à l'aide un moyen de levage, par exemple à l'aide d'une grue. Ils peuvent également permettre de fixer les garde-corps 6 en périphérie.Advantageously, the covering modules 5 have openings 19 on the peripheral fallout allowing them to be interconnected in order to reinforce the modular structure in the horizontal plane. Seals may be placed between the interconnected cover modules 5 to protect the vertical and horizontal support members 1 , 2, 2b. These openings can also be used to fix temporary hooking means during the introduction of the modules 5 using a lifting means, for example using a crane. They can also make it possible to fix the guardrails 6 at the periphery.

Les modules de couverture 5 peuvent accueillir des bacs d'étanchéité 16 pour former un bac étanche. Les bacs d'étanchéité 16 peuvent être réalisés par exemple en matière plastique, rigide ou souple, en matériau composite (revêtu ou non) ou en feuille métallique, notamment en zinc. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le bac d'étanchéité 16 est utilisé pour du jardinage ou du maraichage. Le bac d'étanchéité 16 peut comprendre alors de la terre végétale 8 sur laquelle peut se développer de la végétation. L'épaisseur de la terre végétale 8 est adaptée à la nature des végétaux plantés. La terre végétale peut être remplacée, tout ou en partie, par tout autre milieu adapté à la culture : sable, billes céramiques, pierres de lave etc.. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des bacs d'étanchéité 16 peuvent être utilisés en tant que bassin de rétention paysagés et peuvent être agrémentés de tout dispositif décoratif associé (jet d'eau, fontaine).The cover modules 5 can accommodate sealing tanks 16 to form a sealed tank. The sealing tanks 16 may be made for example of plastic material, rigid or flexible, composite material (coated or uncoated) or metal sheet, in particular zinc. According to a preferred embodiment, the sealing tank 16 is used for gardening or gardening. The sealing tank 16 may then comprise topsoil 8 on which vegetation can develop. The thickness of the topsoil 8 is adapted to the nature of the plants planted. Topsoil may be replaced, in whole or in part, by any other culturally appropriate medium: sand, ceramic beads, lava stones, etc. In another embodiment, Sealing tanks 16 can be used as landscaped retention pond and can be embellished with any associated decorative device (water jet, fountain).

Les surfaces périphériques horizontales des modules de couvertures 5 peuvent être aménagées comme surface piétonne pour piétons 9 (cf. figures 1, 2, 3a et 3b) et/ou peuvent supporter partiellement des garde-corps 6, des grillages, des clôtures 7, des portillons ou portes 23 ou toute autre forme de délimiteur.The horizontal peripheral surfaces of the roof modules 5 can be arranged as a pedestrian pedestrian surface 9 (cf. figures 1 , 2 , 3a and 3b and / or can partially support railings 6, grids, fences 7, gates or doors 23 or any other form of delimiter.

La structure modulaire selon l'invention présente l'avantage d'être adaptable à tout type de terrain (plat, en pente, vallonné). De plus, la double poutraison de l'ossature de la structure modulaire permet une posé aisée des modules de recouvrement 5 (module de couverture), et permet également un remplacement rapide desdits modules. Enfin, un autre avantage lié à la facilité du démontage des modules de couverture 5 repose sur la réversibilité du dispositif, qui peut être réaménagé rapidement. Les possibilités de combinaisons des modules de couverture 5 sont très grandes. Les accès en terrasse sont réalisés par des rampes et/ou par des escaliers ; ces dispositifs peuvent être aménagés dans la trame (c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur) du module de couverture 5 ou en périphérie.The modular structure of the invention has the advantage of being adaptable to any type of terrain (flat, sloping, hilly). In addition, the double beam of the frame of the modular structure allows easy installation of the cover modules 5 (cover module), and also allows rapid replacement of said modules. Finally, another advantage related to the ease of disassembly of the cover modules 5 is based on the reversibility of the device, which can be redeveloped quickly. The possibilities of combinations of the cover modules 5 are very large. Terrace accesses are made by ramps and / or stairs; these devices can be arranged in the frame (that is to say inside) of the cover module 5 or periphery.

Par ailleurs, la structure modulaire selon l'invention est conçue de manière à pouvoir récupérer, canaliser et évacuer l'eau de pluie et aussi le cas échéant l'excédent d'eau distribuée par un système d'irrigation pour arroser la terre végétale 8. A cet effet, la structure modulaire peut comprendre des moyens d'irrigation et de drainage, visibles notamment sur les figures 7a et 7b. Ces moyens comprennent des tubes d'irrigation reliés à une arrivée d'eau (non représentés dans les figures). Quant aux moyens de drainage, ceux-ci comprennent un trop-plein d'évacuation 14 prévu dans la partie inférieure des bacs d'étanchéité 16 et une surverse située en partie haute desdits bacs 16. Des éléments de canalisations 15 assurant l'évacuation d'excès d'eau, qu'il s'agisse de l'eau de pluie ou de l'eau distribuée par les moyens d'irrigation. Les égouttures peuvent être canalisées vers un réservoir de stockage 28 situé en rive.Furthermore, the modular structure according to the invention is designed so as to recover, channel and evacuate the rainwater and also if necessary the excess water distributed by an irrigation system to water the topsoil 8 . to this end, the modular structure may include means of irrigation and drainage, visible especially on Figures 7a and 7b . These means comprise irrigation tubes connected to a water inlet (not shown in the figures). As for the drainage means, these comprise an evacuation overflow 14 provided in the lower part of the sealing tanks 16 and an overflow situated in the upper part of said tanks 16. Piping elements 15 ensuring the evacuation of excess of water, whether it is rainwater or water distributed by the means of irrigation. Drips can be channeled to a storage tank 28 located on the shore.

Dans une variante, les bacs d'étanchéité 16 comprennent des nervures aptes à accueillir des éléments de canalisation 15. Par ailleurs, les modules de couverture 5 et les bacs d'étanchéité 16 comprennent des percements 19 pour permettre le passage des éléments de canalisations 15 dans l'ensemble de la structure modulaire et donc permettant l'évacuation de l'eau de pluie ou l'excès d'eau d'arrosage et sa récupération par stockage dans des réservoirs 28. In a variant, the sealing tanks 16 comprise ribs capable of accommodating pipe elements 15. Furthermore, the roofing modules 5 and the sealing tanks 16 comprise openings 19 to allow the passage of the pipe elements 15. throughout the modular structure and thus allowing the evacuation of rainwater or excess water sprinkler and its recovery by storage in tanks 28.

Dans une variante de réalisation de la structure modulaire (figures 5a et 5b), les éléments de support horizontaux 2a, 2b sont réalisés sous la forme de profilés 201,202, qui sont intégrés dans des caissons structurants 21, liés entre eux, par exemple par boulonnage ou par soudage, pour former l'ossature horizontale de la structure modulaire. Ces caissons 21 supportent des habillages de circulation 22 pour les circulations périphériques, et présentant les retombées en rive 18 qui permettent à la fois d'habiller les bords de la structure modulaire et d'habiller les éventuels dénivelés à redans. Un bac d'étanchéité 16 ferme la structure et contient la terre végétale 8. La figure 5b illustre en coupe perspective et écorché, l'agencement des éléments de support horizontaux 201, des caissons structurants 21, de l'habillage 22 et du bac d'étanchéité 16. In an alternative embodiment of the modular structure ( figures 5a and 5b ), the horizontal support elements 2a, 2b are made in the form of profiles 201, 202, which are integrated in structuring boxes 21, linked together, for example by bolting or welding, to form the horizontal framework of the modular structure . These caissons 21 support circulating claddings 22 for peripheral circulations, and having the drop-offs at the edge 18 which make it possible both to dress the edges of the modular structure and to clad any unevenness with steps. A sealing tank 16 closes the structure and contains topsoil 8. The figure 5b illustrates in cutaway and cutaway section, the arrangement of the horizontal support elements 201, the structural boxes 21, the covering 22 and the sealing tank 16.

Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation de la structure modulaire (figures 6, 7a et 7b), les habillages de circulation 22 recouvrent de caissons structurants 21 de forme rectangulaire formés par deux paires de renforts périphériques 201,202 qui peuvent être réalisés sous la forme de profilés et assemblés par tout moyen approprié (tel que : boulonnage ou soudage). La structure est supportée par des éléments de support longitudinaux ou transversaux (2a ou 2b). Des renforts internes 27 peuvent être prévus. Ces caissons structurants, fixés sur les éléments de support horizontaux 2a ou 2b par tout moyen approprié, supportent l'habillage 22. Un bac d'étanchéité 16 peut fermer la structure.In yet another embodiment of the modular structure ( figures 6 , 7a and 7b ), the circulating cladding 22 cover rectangular structuring caissons 21 formed by two pairs of peripheral reinforcements 201,202 which can be made in the form of profiles and assembled by any appropriate means (such as: bolting or welding). The structure is supported by longitudinal or transverse support members ( 2a or 2b ). Internal reinforcements 27 may be provided. These structural boxes, fixed on the horizontal support elements 2a or 2b by any appropriate means, support the covering 22. A sealing tank 16 can close the structure.

Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation selon l'invention, les habillages de circulation 22 recouvrent des éléments de support horizontaux sous la forme de profilés 201,202, ces derniers étant supportés par des éléments de supports horizontaux 2a ou 2b suivant le sens de portée. La structure comprend en outre un bac d'étanchéité souple 16 épousant la forme des profilés 201,202. Telle que mieux illustrée en figure 8, la structure modulaire comprend un bac d'étanchéité 16 souple placé sous les habillages de circulation 22. Le bac d'étanchéité 16 couvre alors toute la surface de la partie haute de la structure modulaire. L'habillage de circulation 22 est fixé au caisson 21 au moyen de goujons 29 traversant le bac d'étanchéité 16. L'étanchéité est restaurée par compression d'un joint 36 au moyen desdits goujons 29 (cf. figure 9b). Cette disposition permet le passage des canalisations d'irrigation entre l'habillage 22 et les éléments de supports 201,202. In yet another embodiment according to the invention, the traffic covers 22 cover horizontal support elements in the form of profiles 201,202, the latter being supported by horizontal support elements 2a or 2b according to the direction of reach. The structure further comprises a flexible sealing tank 16 matching the shape of the profiles 201,202. As best illustrated in figure 8 , the modular structure comprises a flexible sealing tank 16 placed under the traffic lining 22. The sealing tank 16 then covers the entire surface of the upper part of the modular structure. The circulation covering 22 is fixed to the box 21 by means of studs 29 passing through the sealing tank 16. The seal is restored by compression of a seal 36 by means of said studs 29 (cf. figure 9b ). This arrangement allows the passage of the irrigation pipes between the cladding 22 and the support elements 201,202.

La structure modulaire selon l'invention, en base comme dans ces variantes peut être avantageusement fermée en périphérie par des voiles 31, recoupée par des voiles intermédiaires 32 et équipé de portes 34 comme illustré sur la figure 11 pour former des boxes de garage.The modular structure according to the invention, in base as in these variants can be advantageously closed at the periphery by webs 31 cut by intermediate webs 32 and equipped with doors 34 as shown in FIG. figure 11 to form garage stalls.

La largeur et la longueur des modules de couverture sont avantageusement adaptées aux trames classiques des places de stationnement, pour permettre le positionnement des éléments de support verticaux entre deux places de stationnement voisines. La structure modulaire selon l'invention peut aussi être utilisée pour couvrir des tranchées routières ; dans ce cas, en cas de besoin, les éléments de support horizontaux peuvent être fixés directement sur le sol, de part et d'autre de la voie routière, ou sur des éléments de support verticaux pour accommoder une pente de la voie routière.The width and length of the roof modules are advantageously adapted to the conventional frames of the parking spaces, to allow the positioning of the vertical support elements between two adjacent parking spaces. The modular structure according to the invention can also be used to cover road trenches; in this case, if necessary, the horizontal support elements can be fixed directly on the ground, on either side of the road, or on vertical support elements to accommodate a slope of the road.

Ainsi, la structure modulaire selon l'invention peut être parfaitement adaptée pour créer ou conserver une aire de stationnement sous les modules de couverture en prenant en compte les caractéristiques nécessaires pour le stationnement de véhicules légers (longueur, largeur, hauteur réglementaire) ou encore constituer des boxes de garage. Les dimensions des éléments de support peuvent être adaptées selon les trames classiques des espaces de stationnement, y compris ceux pour les personnes à mobilité réduite (PMR). La structure modulaire peut également couvrir des surfaces piétonnes telles que les cours d'école ou des surfaces routières.Thus, the modular structure according to the invention can be perfectly adapted to create or maintain a parking area under the roof modules by taking into account the characteristics necessary for the parking of light vehicles (length, width, regulatory height) or constituting garage boxes. The dimensions of the support elements can be adapted according to the conventional frames of parking spaces, including those for people with reduced mobility (PRM). The modular structure can also cover pedestrian surfaces such as schoolyards or road surfaces.

Face à la poussée de l'urbanisation qui consomme de la surface au sol (en particulier pour les surfaces de stationnement), la structure modulaire selon l'invention permet de remédier partiellement aux inconvénients de l'urbanisation et de participer en ce sens à ce qui est couramment dénommé « la rénovation urbaine » s'il est mis en oeuvre sur des emprises existantes ou à participer au traitement qualitatif d'un projet de construction neuve.In view of the surge in urbanization that consumes floor space (in particular for parking areas), the modular structure according to the invention makes it possible to partially remedy the disadvantages of urbanization and to participate in this sense in this respect. which is commonly referred to as "urban renewal" if it is implemented on existing rights-of-way or to participate in the qualitative treatment of a new construction project.
