Abstract

A structural support system consisting of a bridging structural element and two (2) or more frangible elements providing fatigue and/or shock load(s) capacities utilized as a structural jointing between a foundation and a superstructure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . a structural support system attached to a structural element via frangible element providing a bridging connection to a foundation.  
   
   
       2 . as in  claim 1 , where said bridging element is composed of steel.  
   
   
       3 . as in  claim 1 , where said bridging element is composed of structural composites.  
   
   
       4 . as in  claim 1 , where said structural support system is a plate  
   
   
       5 . as in  claim 1 , where said structural support system has holes not used in attachment to foundation or frangible element  
   
   
       6 . as in  claim 1 , where said structural support system provides resistance to prestressing a foundation.  
   
   
       7 . as in  claim 1 , where said structural support system provides resistance to post-tensioning a foundation.  
   
   
       8 . as in  claim 1 , where said structural support system provides resistance to prestressing and post-tensioning a foundation.  
   
   
       9 . as in  claim 1 , where said foundation consists of reinforced concrete  
   
   
       10 . as in  claim 1 , where said foundation consists of structural steel  
   
   
       11 . as in  claim 1 , where said foundation consists of structural composites  
   
   
       12 . as in  claim 1 , where said foundation is driven into in-situ soil matrix  
   
   
       13 . as in  claim 1 , where multiples of said frangible element consist of different geometries.  
   
   
       14 . as in  claim 1 , where multiples of said frangible element consist of different materials.  
   
   
       15 . as in  claim 1 , where multiples of said frangible element consist of different structural characteristics.  
   
   
       16 . as in  claim 1 , wherein said structural support system presents a rounded surface minimizing snag potential to an impacting vehicle.  
   
   
       17 . as in  claim 1 , two or more structural hardware fasteners providing structural connections from a structural element to frangible elements, wherein two or more of said fasteners consist of different geometries.  
   
   
       18 . as in  claim 1 , two or more structural hardware fasteners providing structural connections from a structural element to frangible elements, wherein two or more of said fasteners consist of different materials.  
   
   
       19 . as in  claim 1 , two or more structural hardware fasteners providing structural connections from a structural element to frangible elements, wherein two or more of said fasteners consist of different structural characteristics.  
   
   
       20 . as in  claim 1 , wherein a reduced profile in relation to grade or ground-line, minimizes potential snagging by impacting vehicles.
