Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a gravity structure intended for a maritime civil engineering construction and a related manufacturing method.
- a known gravity structure comprises a raft configured to be laid on a sea floor and secured to a barrel directed in a main direction substantially orthogonal to the floor.
- the maritime civil engineering construction for which such a gravity structure is intended is for example a wind turbine at sea or a bridge.
- the shaft In the service position, that is to say when the gravity structure rests on the sea floor, the shaft is disposed substantially vertically and is surmounted by a mast itself equipped with a nacelle and pale when the maritime construction is a wind turbine, surmounted by a pile and an apron when the construction is a bridge.
- the raft provided in the form of a cylinder, must have a very large diameter, of the order of a few tens of meters, which implies that the area of marine soil to be prepared is itself very wide.
- ballast sand it is necessary to fill the drum with ballast to complete the installation of the gravity structure, which is all the more expensive as the material, for example ballast sand, must be routed from a port or a dredging area.
- the object of the invention is to at least partially overcome these disadvantages.
- the subject of the invention is a gravity structure intended for a maritime civil engineering construction, comprising a raft configured to be laid on a sea floor and secured to a barrel directed in a main direction that is substantially orthogonal to said raft, characterized in that the gravity structure comprises at least one anchor extending in said barrel and in the raft, the gravity structure being configured so that, in a service position of the gravity structure, said at least one tie rod anchor is anchored in said sea floor.
- the stability of the gravity structure is partly ensured by said at least one anchor.
- the dimensions of the gravity structure can be reduced, for example by 20 to 30%, compared with the state of the art, which results in a decrease in the quantities of concrete and concrete. steel necessary for the manufacture of the gravity structure, as well as a reduction in the size of the area of the sea floor to be prepared before installation of the gravity structure in the service position.
- the reduced dimensions of the gravity structure ensure that the forces exerted on the gravity structure by the swell are weaker.
- Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the anchor or tie rods pre-force vertically the barrel of the gravity structure, which, on the one hand, improves the stability of the gravitational structure and, on the other hand, on the other hand, possibly reduces the number of other prestressing devices to be provided for the drum.
- An additional advantage is that, due to the reduced size and weight of the gravity structure according to the invention, a water filling of the barrel is sufficient to ensure the stability of the gravity structure on the sea floor.
- the method of manufacturing the gravity structure according to the invention overcomes the transport and filling of the ballast material which is necessary for the gravity structure according to the state of the art, as already mentioned.
- anchor rods are simple to implement. It is for example possible to check and adjust, if necessary, the residual tension of each tie rod by a known weighing technique (or "lift-off test").
- the barrel comprises an end opposite the slab, and said at least one anchor extends from the end opposite the slab into the barrel.
- the gravity structure comprises at least one guide tube of said at least one anchor extending from the end opposite the base to the floor.
- the barrel is hollow and comprises a column and a conical base.
- each guide tube being disposed in a longitudinal wall of the mast and in the open air in the conical base.
- the gravity structure comprises a removable platform.
- the gravity structure comprises at least two tie rods.
- the subject of the invention is also a method of manufacturing a gravity structure intended for a maritime civil engineering construction, from a raft configured to be laid on a sea floor and secured to a shaft directed in a main direction. substantially orthogonal to said slab, the manufacturing method comprising a step of placing at least one anchor so that said at least one tie rod extends into the barrel and the slab, the gravity structure being configured to in a service position the anchor is anchored in the sea floor.
- the step of placing said at least one anchor is preceded by a step of placing at least one guide tube of said at least one anchor s extending from one end of the barrel opposite to the slab, to the slab.
- the method comprises a step prior to the steps of setting the tie rod, comprising a step of installing the gravity structure on a sea floor, the shaft being erected in a vertical position.
- the method comprises a step of filling in water with an immersed inner part of the gravitational structure.
- the step of placing said at least one anchor comprises a step of installing the removable platform at one end of the barrel opposite the floor.
- the method comprises a step of drilling by a drilling tool disposed in said at least one guide tube, during which the drilling tool digs a hole in the sea floor, then the pulling is introduced into the guide tube and into the drilled hole.
- the step of placing said at least one anchor comprises a step of sealing said at least one anchor during which the borehole is subjected to an injection of grout.
- the step of placing said at least one anchor comprises a step of tensioning said at least one anchor made at an upper anchorage.
- a gravity structure 1 intended for a maritime civil engineering construction, comprises a raft 2 configured to be laid on a seabed S and integral with a barrel 3 directed in a main direction substantially orthogonal to the raft 2.
- the gravity structure 1 is illustrated in a position corresponding to a construction phase before installation of the wind turbine in which the gravity structure rests on the sea floor S which was possibly prepared for the installation of the gravity structure 1 by preliminary operations known to those skilled in the art.
- the raft 2 is in contact with the ground S while the barrel 3 is erected vertically.
- the barrel 3 comprises a column 4 forming the upper part of the barrel 3 and a base 5 forming the lower part of the barrel 3.
- the base 5 has a generally conical shape which flares from the mast 4 to the raft 2.
- the base 5 is completely submerged while the column 4 is partially submerged.
- the raft 2 comprises an inner portion 6 at the base 5 extended by an outer portion 7.
- the raft 2 has a generally circular shape of substantially constant thickness under the base 5 and may have a slope or radial slope (a bevel) on its outer portion 7.
- the gravitational structure 1 is advantageously provided temporarily, as will be explained below, a removable platform 8 disposed at an upper end 9 of the column 4.
- the raft 2 constitutes the lower end of the gravity structure 1 while the platform 8 is disposed at an upper end 9 of the gravity structure 1.
- the gravity structure 1 comprises at least one anchor 10 extending in the shaft 3 and in the raft 2.
- the invention is not limited to this number, and it is of course conceivable to provide the structure 1 with a single anchor or, on the contrary, to provide the structure 1 with a plurality of tie rods distributed over the circumference of the column.
- the gravity structure 1 is configured so that each anchor 10 is anchored in the sea floor S.
- tie rods 10 extend from the platform 8 into the barrel 3 and the raft 2.
- one 11 of the ends 11, 12 anchors 10, otherwise called upper and lower anchors, is disposed in the upper end 9.
- each tie rod 10 is placed in close proximity to the upper face of the barrel 3.
- the other end 12 is disposed in the marine soil S.
- Each anchor 10 is stretched between its ends 11, 12, which ensures a vertical prestressing of the barrel 3.
- the gravity structure 1 comprises two guide tubes 13, each of the tubes 13 being associated with one of the tie rods 10.
- each tie rod 10 extends in a guide tube 13 from the upper end 9 to the raft 2.
- each guide tube 13 protects the anchor 10 associated.
- each guide tube 13 is arranged in a longitudinal wall 14 of the column 4 and in the open air in the conical base 5.
- the guide tubes make it possible to guide the threading of the anchor rods 10 as well as the displacement of a drill, as will be explained hereinafter.
- an element of fastening 15 comprising an anchoring piece 16, for example of trumpet type, and a cover 17 covering an anchor block (not shown).
- the gravity structure 1 also comprises a specific connection device disposed in a surface 18 of the raft 15 which interfaces with the seabed S.
- the gravitational structure 1 is illustrated in an application to a wind turbine at sea at the figure 2 and in an application to a bridge at the figure 3 .

- the figure 5 illustrates at reference 19 elements for securing the mast 20 to the gravity structure 1.
- a method of manufacturing the gravity structure 1 comprises a step of installing the substructure comprising the shaft 3 and the raft 2, but not the anchors 10.
- the raft 2 is placed on the sea floor S prepared beforehand while the barrel 3 is erected substantially vertically.
- a water filling of the barrel 3, concomitant with the laying of the substructure allows the substructure to immerse gradually to the contact of the raft 2 with the seabed S.
- the manufacturing method comprises a step of installing the platform 8 at the upper end 8 of the drum 3. This step is preferably performed by a crane ship.
- each guide tube is placed in the barrel 3 during the construction of the substructure 1, before transport to the installation site.

- the drilling tool digs a hole T in the marine soil S.
- the drilling tool is extracted from the guide tube13; the anchor 10 is then introduced into the associated guide tube 13 and then into the drilled hole T.
- the drilling step comprises a preliminary step of drilling a pre-hole facilitated by the specific connection device provided at the interface of the slab and the sea floor, according to a method known to those skilled in the art.
- the method comprises a step of sealing each anchor 10 in the associated borehole T by grouting around the anchor 10 in the borehole T.
- the manufacturing method also comprises a tensioning step performed at the upper anchor 11, on the platform 8, advantageously by a cylinder of great stroke, because of the large free length, of each tie rod 10.
- the platform 8 After installation and tensioning of the tie rods 10, the platform 8 is demobilized, possibly to another gravity structure, as visible in FIG. figure 4e .
- the invention provides a preload which can be associated in parallel with prestressing cables equipping the structure 1 and known to those skilled in the art, while at the same time allowing a reduction in the dimensions and weight of the gravitational structure.
