A protective structure for protecting buildings, bridges, roads and other areas from explosive devices such as car bombs and the like comprises: (a) a mesh structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines an annular space; (b) a plurality of structural steel cables in contact with the mesh structure; (c) a composite fill material which resides within the annular space of the mesh structure and within the mesh structure; (d) at least one reinforcement member which resides within the composite fill material; and (e) a composite face material which resides upon the outer surface of the mesh structure. The mesh structure may be made up of, for example, steel wire. A protective system for protecting buildings, bridges, roads and other areas from explosive devices such as car bombs and the like comprises a plurality of the above described protective structures and a plurality of support members, wherein the support members provide interlocking engagement of the protective structures to the support members.

Protective structure and protective system

A power generation flume for use with fluid or water flow channels that includes an acceleration zone where a power generation system can be used in an accelerated flow to generate power in a cost efficient manner. The flume can have a variety of dimensions and can be used at one or at multiple locations along or across the flow channel without effecting upstream flow conditions.

A protective structure for protecting buildings, bridges, roads and other areas from explosive devices such as car bombs and the like comprises: (a) a mesh structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the inner surface defines an annular space; (b) a concrete fill material which resides within the annular space of the mesh structure and within the mesh structure; (c) at least one reinforcement member which resides within the concrete fill material; and (d) a concrete face material which resides upon the outer surface of the mesh structure. The mesh structure may be made up of, for example, steel wire. A protective system for protecting buildings, bridges, roads and other areas from explosive devices such as car bombs and the like comprises a plurality of the above described protective structures and a plurality of support members, wherein the support members provide interlocking engagement of the protective structures to the support members.

A reinforcement structure for asphalt pavements comprising corrugated or zigzag bent perforated or open mesh strips disposed relative to each other so that when said strips are brought into contact with each other and fixed together at the apices the contacting strips define therebetween a plurality of cells or honeycomb-like structure. Further, there is provided a superior asphalt pavement when the above-described reinforcement structure is positioned and embedded within said pavement.
