Rope panels with knots covered by boss PDF Print E-mail

 

The panels are manufactured on frames of varying size in order to achieve, based on requirement, varying shapes and dimensions by a process where a single galvanized 8.00mm diameter steel rope is first woven diagonally and is crisscrossed alternatively above and below.  The overlap nodes are blocked by two rim-pressed steel shells to form a boss and the panel meshes are connected, through suitably pressed aluminium sleeves, to a galvanized 14.00 or 16.00mm diameter steel rope.

Main features:

  • Panel shape: triangular, square, rectangular.
  • Panel size: 3.0x5.0 m, 4.0x6.0 m, etc.
  • Mesh size: 150x150 mm, 200x200 mm, 250x250 mm, etc.

Based on the use, the rope panels with knots covered by boss are divided as follows:

  • Panels with knots covered by light-duty boss for rock face active defence measures;
  • Panels with knots covered by heavy-duty boss for rockfall barrier panels.
Rope panels are able to absorb considerable energy caused the fall of boulders, as in the rockfall barrier version.  Forces acting on the panel are delivered to the perimeter rope and, from this, to the structural anchors – i.e.  deep foundation ground anchor – after triggering the dampers.

 

The types of ropes employed are in galvanized steel and standard-compliant with UNI UNI 7292-74 with individual wire class of 180 N/mm2 e 200 N/mm2.

To blend into their enviroment, steel ropes can be painted in various shades of green.
