Embodiment Construction
[0022]Referring now to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, there is shown the matting system (10) of Applicant's invention. The matting system (10) is comprised of a plurality of discrete, individual mat segments (12), preferably in strips or splines, each having at least one retainer bore (15). The mat segments (12) are held together by a pre-tensioned wire or rod connector (14) positioned through the retainer bore (15) of the adjoining mat segments and secured in tension by a fastener such as a nut (16). Placing the connector (14) in tension in the manner similar to that used in post-tensioned concrete slabs is thought to be suitable. The wire or rod connector (14) may be of any suitable material thought it is thought that steel rods or steel wire cables will be utilized.
[0023]The mat segments (12) are designed to “give” or separate at their adjoining connecting surfaces (11) at a predetermined load as the pre-tensioned connector rod deforms when the matting system is overloaded. As shown multiple...
