Structural lining system

摘要

A lining system for a ditch or canal constructed with tight tolerances so a gasket is not required to connect liner channel sections. Each channel liner has a female slot on a first end and a male protrusion on a second end for adjoining channel liners. Flushing strips with male protrusions are installed in female slots in between channel beams. Flushing strips with variable Manning coefficients can be inserted based on a user's needs. Self-anchoring tabs can be inserted into anchoring slots on the outside of liner channels for anchoring the liner by soil compaction. Elbow sections can be used to change the direction of flow of the liquid. Elbow sections are adjoined to a liner channel similar to the adjoinment of in series channel liners to result in a desired angle for the change in direction.

主权项

1. A liner system comprising:
a plurality of channel liners connected in series to a predetermined length, each channel liner comprising:
multiple inverted channel beams and multiple channel slots in parallel with inverted channel beams;a female end comprising a joining slot that runs continuously from end to end, transverse to the longitudinal axis of the channel liner;a male end comprising a downward facing joining protrusion with a predetermined tolerance configured to fit tightly into the joining slot; andat least one variable height insertable flushing strip corresponding to a predetermined Manning effect, each variable height insertable flushing strip comprising a flushing strip protrusion configured to fit tightly into a channel slot.
