Locking beam to form a three-dimensional lattice in a construction system for plantable shoring walls

Claim 1

A system of construction components for erecting plantable walls, acoustically insulating walls or slope shorings, consisting of stacks of support blocks with plane upper and lower sides and arranged along the lengthwise direction of the wall as spacing means between longitudinal components forming individual planting levels, said longitudinal components consisting of a base plate and of a breast part and resting each on two support blocks, each of the pair of support block stacks sequential in the longitudinal direction of the wall together with the earth filled in between and the forwardly laid longitudinal components forming a construction section as the static slope shoring unit, characterized in that the support blocks (13) arranged at the same height and belonging to a pair of adjacent stacks act as the bearing for a locking beam (20) which is imbedded into the slope at a substantial distance with respect to the front longitudinal component (10) into the earth of the slope and which essentially is encompassed at its lower end by upwardly open clearances (22) in both support blocks and essentially is encompassed at its upper end by downward open clearances (24) in two support blocks (13) thereabove, and in that pairs of support blocks (13, 13), longitudinal components (10) and locking beams (20) arranged at superposed levels form a three-dimensional lattice abutting the slope and forming by its own weight plus that of the earth filled in the three-dimensional lattice a column of earth withstanding the slope forces that occur, but which in the top region of the wall and for relatively low shoring walls forms by means of U-shaped and H-shaped short locking beams only a column of earth (22, 24) bounded on three sides.
