Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of understanding of the description, the same reference numerals are given to the same components in each drawing as much as possible, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0010] [First Embodiment] The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the riprap mound leveling device 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, in the water 5 in advance, a large number of riprap are thrown in and a basic riprap mound 6 is formed which is deposited on the underwater bottom 8 such as the seabed. The riprap mound leveling device 1 is basically a device for leveling the upper top surface 6A of this basic riprap mound 6.

[0012] The riprap mound leveling device 1 includes a leveling weight 4 that is suspended from a wire 7 of a crane 3 of a crane ship 2 so as to be movable up and down. The leveling weight 4 is formed in a long shape, and one end 4A in the longitudinal direction is connected to the wire 7, whereby the other end 4B is installed facing vertically downward. Hereinafter, the end 4B of the leveling weight 4 may also be referred to as the "lower end 4B". A plane is formed at the lower end 4B such that the longitudinal direction of the leveling weight 4 is the normal direction. As shown by the arrow A, the riprap mound leveling device 1 operates the crane 3 to drop the leveling weight 4 from above downward toward the basic riprap mound 6 in the water 5. Thereby, the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 presses the top surface 6A of the basic riprap mound 6, and the top surface 6A can be leveled into a planar shape.

[0013] The rubble mound leveling device 1 of this embodiment further includes a slope leveling member 10. The slope leveling member 10 is used by attaching it to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4. As shown in Figure 1, a slope 6B is formed at the edge of the foundation rubble mound 6 (the part to the left of the top surface 6A in Figure 1), which continuously connects the top surface 6A and the bottom 8 in an inclined manner. The slope leveling member 10, while attached to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4, can be dropped from above onto the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6 as shown by arrow A in Figure 1, thereby pressing the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6 and leveling the slope 6B into an inclined surface.

[0014] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the configuration of the slope leveling member 10 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the schematic configuration of the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 is also a magnified view of the portion of Figure 1 that includes the slope leveling member 10.

[0015] As shown in Figure 2, the lower end of the slope leveling member 10 is provided with a plurality of lower end surfaces 11B, 12B, 13B, 14B, and 15B that are formed in a stepped manner according to the inclination angle of the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6. The normal direction of the plurality of lower end surfaces 11B to 15B is the same as the direction in which the leveling weight 4 shown by arrow A in Figure 1 falls.

[0016] It should be noted that the term "identical" used here is not strictly limited to the same direction, and a deviation that does not impair the effect of the embodiment is permissible. In other words, "identical" may include approximately identical directions. For example, even if the direction in which the leveling weight 4 falls and the normal directions of the multiple lower end surfaces 11B to 15B of the slope leveling member 10 are not exactly the same direction, they can be treated as the same direction within a range that is permissible in manufacturing.

[0017] Furthermore, the stepped lower end surfaces 11B to 15B of the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment are formed by a combination of multiple blocks. In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, five blocks 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are combined. Each of the five blocks 11 to 15 is, for example, a plate-shaped member, with the left-right direction of the paper in Figures 1 and 2 being the thickness portion, and the main surface being arranged along the depth direction of the paper. Each block 11 to 15 is stacked in the thickness direction in the left-right direction of the paper with the main surfaces in surface contact with each other. The vertical dimensions of each block 11 to 15 are formed to be different lengths.

[0018] In the example shown in Figure 2, blocks 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are arranged from right to left on the page in that order. The height positions of the upper ends 11A to 15A of each block 11 to 15 are aligned, and each block 11 to 15 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 at its upper end. The vertical dimensions of each block 11 to 15 are formed to increase in stages in this order. As a result, when each block 11 to 15 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4, the lower end surfaces 11B to 15B of each block 11 to 15 form a stepped shape, protruding in stages in this order.

[0019] Here, the plane of the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 is formed in a rectangular shape, for example, and in Figures 1 and 2, only one side of the rectangle is shown. For example, if the plane of the lower end 4B is square, the width dimension in the depth direction of the main surface of each block 11 to 15 is formed to a length that fits within the length of one side of this square. Also, the thickness dimension of each block 11 to 15 in the left-right direction of the paper is about one-fifth of the width dimension, and the total dimension when each block 11 to 15 is stacked in the thickness direction is formed to a length that fits within the length of one side of the square of the plane of the lower end 4B.

[0020] In the example shown in Figure 2, the vertical dimensions of each block 11-15 are formed such that the ratio of height to base is 1:2 when the line segment connecting the lower end faces 11B-15B is considered as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. This ratio can be appropriately set according to the slope angle of the slope 6B to be leveled.

[0021] Here, the effects of the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment will be explained with reference to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the behavior when using a conventional slope leveling member 50 as a comparative example. Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the behavior when using the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3, in the conventional slope leveling member 50, an inclined surface 50A is provided at the lower end. The inclination angle of this inclined surface 50A corresponds to the inclination angle of the slope 6B to be leveled. As shown by arrow A in Figure 3, as explained earlier, the leveling weight 4 is dropped from above downwards, causing the slope leveling member 50 to abut against the slope 6B and settle on the rubble on the slope 6B. At this time, since the inclined surface 50A at the lower end of the slope leveling member 50 is a plane corresponding to the inclination angle of the slope 6B, the slope leveling member 50 receives an external force along the inclination direction of the slope 6B due to the reaction force received by the inclined surface 50A from the slope 6B, as shown by arrow B in Figure 3. As a result, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 3, the slope leveling member 50 and the leveling weight 4 slide relatively far down the slope 6B along the inclination direction of the slope 6B.

[0023] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, in the slope leveling member 10 of this embodiment, the bottom surface is stepped, so as shown in Figure 2, the lower end surfaces 11B to 15B of the slope leveling member 10 are not inclined and the normal direction is the same as the direction of fall A. Therefore, when the slope leveling member 10 hits the slope 6B and settles on the rubble on the slope 6B, as shown by arrow C in Figure 4, the magnitude of the component of the reaction force received by the slope leveling member 10 from the slope 6B in the direction of the slope 6B is relatively smaller than the external force B in the comparative example in Figure 3. As a result, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 4, the amount by which the slope leveling member 10 and the leveling weight 4 slide down the slope 6B along the direction of the slope 6B is relatively smaller than in the case of Figure 3, making it less likely for them to slide down the slope 6B.

[0024] As described above, in the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment, a plurality of lower end surfaces 11B to 15B are provided at the lower end of the member 10, which are formed in a stepped manner according to the inclination angle of the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6. Furthermore, the plurality of lower end surfaces 11B to 15B are planes whose normal direction is the same as the direction A in which the leveling weight 4 falls. With these configurations, when the bottom surface of the slope leveling member 10 settles on the rubble of the slope 6B, the plurality of planar lower end surfaces 11B to 15B of the bottom surface are supported by the rubble, thereby suppressing the slope leveling member 10 from sliding down the slope 6B. As a result, the slope leveling member 10 can be reliably settled on a desired area of ​​the slope 6B directly below the leveling weight 4, and after settling, this desired area of ​​the slope 6B can be reliably pressed and leveled, thereby improving the construction efficiency of slope leveling.

[0025] Next, with reference to Figures 5 to 7, an example of how to attach the slope leveling member 10 to the leveling weight 4 according to the first embodiment will be described. Figure 5 is a diagram showing the first step of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment. Figure 6 is a diagram showing the second step of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment. Figure 7 is a diagram showing the third step of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0026] In the first stage shown in Figure 5, a guide member 30 having stepped surfaces 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 corresponding to the desired inclination angle of the lower end surface of the slope leveling member 10 is placed on the ground 40 with the stepped surfaces 31 to 35 facing upward (placement step). The ground 40 is, for example, the deck of a crane ship 2.

[0027] In the second stage shown in Figure 6, the slope leveling member 10 is positioned by bringing its multiple lower end surfaces 11B to 15B into contact with the stepped surfaces 31 to 35 of the guide member 30, respectively, relative to the guide member 30 that was placed in the placement step (positioning step). Here, each block 11 to 15 is placed on the stepped surfaces 31 to 35 of the guide member 30. This aligns the height positions of the upper ends 11A to 15A of each block 11 to 15. With the slope leveling member 10 in this state, the leveling weight 4 is brought closer to the slope leveling member 10 from above, as indicated by arrow D in Figure 6.

[0028] In the third stage shown in Figure 7, the leveling weight 4 is lowered from above onto the slope leveling member 10, which has been positioned in the positioning step, and the slope leveling member 10 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 (connecting step). Any method can be applied to connect each block 11 to 15 to the leveling weight 4, as long as it is a detachable method. For example, this could be done by bolting, using a combination of pins and holes or hooks to fasten, or by welding a pin provided on the upper end of the block to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4.

[0029] As explained with reference to Figures 5 to 7, according to the method of attaching the slope leveling member 10 to the leveling weight 4 according to the first embodiment, the slope leveling member 10 can be attached to the leveling weight 4 by only vertical movement while the leveling weight 4 is suspended by the crane 3. Conventionally, when attaching a slope leveling member to a leveling weight, it is necessary to lay the leveling weight 4 on the ground 40 and attach the slope leveling member from the horizontal direction. For this reason, it is necessary to make the area of ​​the ground 40 required for attachment larger by the length of the elongated leveling weight 4. In contrast, in this embodiment, by using the guide member 30, the slope leveling member 10 can be attached while the leveling weight 4 is suspended in the vertical direction, so the area of ​​the ground 40 required for attachment can be limited to the size of the footprint of the guide member 30. Therefore, according to the method of attaching the slope leveling member 10 to the leveling weight 4 as embodied in the first embodiment, the space required for attaching the slope leveling member 10 can be reduced.

[0030] Figure 8 shows examples of other inclination angles for the slope leveling member 10. Figure 8(A) shows an example of a combination of blocks where the ratio of height to base is 1:1.5 when the line segment connecting the stepped lower end faces is considered as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Figure 8(B) shows an example of a combination of blocks where the ratio of height to base is 1:1.2.

[0031] In Figure 8(A), blocks 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 are arranged in this order from right to left on the page. The height of the upper end of each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 is aligned, and each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 at its upper end. The vertical dimensions of each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 are formed to increase in length in this order. As a result, when each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4, the lower end surfaces of each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 form a stepped shape, protruding in this order in stages. Furthermore, the vertical dimensions of each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 are formed such that, when the line segment connecting the lower ends of each block 11, 16, 17, 15, and 18 is considered as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, the ratio of height to base is 1:1.5.

[0032] In Figure 8(B), blocks 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 are arranged in this order from right to left in the drawing. The height of the upper end of each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 is aligned, and each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 at its upper end. The vertical dimensions of each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 are formed to increase in length in this order. As a result, when each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4, the lower end surfaces of each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 form a stepped shape, protruding in this order in stages. Furthermore, the vertical dimensions of each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 are formed such that, when the line segment connecting the lower ends of each block 11, 19, 20, 18, and 21 is considered as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, the ratio of height to base is 1:1.2.

[0033] Here, the blocks 11 with vertical hatching in Figures 2 and 8 can be reused in three types of combinations: the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:2 as shown in Figure 2, the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:1.5 as shown in Figure 8(A), and the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:1.2 as shown in Figure 8(B). In addition, the blocks 15 with horizontal hatching in Figures 2 and 8 can be reused in two types of combinations: the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:2 as shown in Figure 2, and the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:1.5 as shown in Figure 8(A). Furthermore, block 18, which has a dot pattern in Figure 8, can be reused in two types of combinations: the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:1.5 as shown in Figure 8(A), and the combination of blocks where the height-to-base ratio is 1:1.2 as shown in Figure 8(B).

[0034] In the slope leveling member 10 according to the first embodiment, the stepped lower end surfaces of the slope leveling member 10 are formed by combining multiple blocks. With this configuration, the inclination angle of the lower end surface of the slope leveling member 10 can be easily adjusted to match the desired slope angle of the slope 6B by appropriately combining blocks of different vertical dimensions. This makes it possible to perform slope leveling work that can accommodate slopes 6B with various inclination angles, thereby improving the versatility of the slope leveling member 10.

[0035] Furthermore, in the slope leveling member 10 of the first embodiment, the stepped lower end surfaces of the slope leveling member 10 are formed by a combination of multiple blocks. This allows some blocks to be reused, for example, as shown in Figures 2 and 8, blocks 11, 15, and 18, when the lower end surfaces are set to multiple inclination angles. As a result, the number of blocks used can be reduced for the desired inclination angles, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the slope leveling member 10.

[0036] In addition, the slope leveling member 10 of the first embodiment may be configured such that the stepped lower end surfaces of the slope leveling member 10 are formed from a single member, rather than being a combination of multiple blocks. Even in this configuration, the method of attaching it to the leveling weight 4 can be carried out using the same procedure as in the examples shown in Figures 5 to 7. In this configuration, since a slope leveling member 10 is prepared individually for each inclination angle of the lower end surface, the selection of the member to be used during slope leveling construction can be made quickly.

[0037] [Second Embodiment] A second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 13.

[0038] Figure 9 shows an example of the schematic configuration of the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment. The schematic configuration in Figure 9 corresponds to that in Figure 2.

[0039] As shown in Figure 9, the stepped lower end surfaces of the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment can change their relative positions. The slope leveling member 100 has a base 110 and a plurality of blocks 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115. The base 110 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4.

[0040] In the example shown in Figure 9, a configuration is illustrated that includes five blocks 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115 as multiple blocks. Each of the five blocks 111 to 115 is, for example, a plate-shaped member, similar to blocks 11 to 15 in the first embodiment. In Figure 9, the left-right direction of the paper represents the thickness, and the main surface is arranged along the depth direction of the paper. Each of the blocks 111 to 115 is arranged in the thickness direction in the left-right direction of the paper with the main surfaces facing each other.

[0041] Multiple blocks 111 to 115 are installed so as to be slidable relative to the base 110 along the extending direction (falling direction A) of the leveling weight 4, as indicated by arrows E1 to E5. The vertical dimensions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 are, for example, formed to be the same length, and the height position of the lower end faces 111B to 115B of each block can be changed by adjusting their relative position to the base 110. The lower end faces 111B to 115B of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 form a set of stepped lower end faces of the slope leveling member 100.

[0042] Here, similar to the first embodiment, the plane of the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 is formed in a rectangular shape, for example, and in Figure 9 only one side of the rectangular shape of the lower end 4B is shown. Therefore, the base 110 connected to this lower end 4B also has an upper end surface that is formed in a rectangular shape with substantially the same shape and area as the lower end 4B, and in Figure 9 only one side of the rectangular shape of the upper end surface of the base 110 is shown. Furthermore, the overall shape of the base 110 is a rectangular prism shape having four sides that extend vertically downward from the four sides of the rectangular shape of the upper end surface. In Figure 9 only one side of the rectangular prism shape of the base 110 is shown.

[0043] For example, if the plane of the lower end 4B and the upper end surface of the base 110 are square, the width dimension in the depth direction of the main surface of each block 111 to 115 is formed to a length that fits within the length of one side of this square. Also, the thickness dimension of each block 111 to 115 in the left-right direction of the paper is about one-fifth of the width dimension, and the total dimension of each block 111 to 115 arranged in the thickness direction is formed to fit within the length of one side of this square. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, a gap is provided in the thickness direction of each block 111 to 115 to the extent that each block 111 to 115 can slide relative to the base 110.

[0044] In the slope leveling member 100 of the second embodiment, the relative positions of the multiple stepped lower end surfaces 111B to 115B can be changed. This allows the inclination angle of the stepped lower end surfaces 111B to 115B to be arbitrarily adjusted using a single slope leveling member 100, thus enabling it to accommodate various slope angles of different types of slopes 6B and improving versatility.

[0045] Furthermore, in the slope leveling member 100 of the second embodiment, multiple blocks 111 to 115 can be slid along the extending direction of the leveling weight 4 relative to the base 110, thereby forming multiple stepped lower end surfaces 111B to 115B of the slope leveling member 100. With this configuration, the normal direction of the lower end surfaces 111B to 115B of each block 111 to 115 can be maintained in the same direction as the falling direction A of the leveling weight 4, while more reliably forming a stepped shape with any desired inclination angle.

[0046] Furthermore, the vertical dimension of the base 110 is preferably such that, for example, when multiple blocks 111 to 115 slide to their uppermost position relative to the base 110, their lower end faces 111B to 115B are housed inside the base 110. This makes it possible to miniaturize the slope leveling member 100 when not in use or during storage, and reduces the required storage space.

[0047] In the example in Figure 9, similar to the example in Figure 2, the height position of each block is adjusted so that the ratio of height to base is 1:2 when the line segment connecting the lower surfaces 111B to 115B is considered as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. This ratio can be appropriately set according to the slope angle of the slope 6B to be leveled.

[0048] Furthermore, the slope leveling member 100 includes a holding part that maintains the relative positions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115. In the example shown in Figure 9, an example of the holding part includes through holes provided in each of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 and a rod 116. At least one through hole is provided in each of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 along the extending direction, and each is formed along the direction in which the multiple blocks 111 to 115 are lined up.

[0049] In the example shown in Figure 9, block 111 has one through hole 121. Block 112 has three through holes 122A, 122B, and 122C arranged in order from bottom to top. Block 113 has three through holes 123A, 123B, and 123C arranged in order from bottom to top. Block 114 has three through holes 124A, 124B, and 124C arranged in order from bottom to top. Block 115 has three through holes 125A, 125B, and 125C arranged in order from bottom to top.

[0050] In the slope leveling member 100 of the second embodiment, the rod 116 can be inserted into any one through-hole for each of the multiple blocks 111 to 115, and then inserted into all the through-holes of the multiple blocks 111 to 115, thereby maintaining the relative positions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115. With this configuration, the relative positions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 can be easily maintained simply by inserting the rod 116 into each of the through-holes of the multiple blocks 111 to 115, and the adjustment of the step shape of each block can be carried out efficiently.

[0051] In the example shown in Figure 9, a single rod 116 is inserted through the through-hole 121 of block 111, the through-hole 122A of block 112, the through-hole 123A of block 113, the through-hole 124A of block 114, and the through-hole 125A of block 115. This allows the relative positions of each block 111 to 115 to be maintained such that the ratio of height to base is 1:2 when the line segment connecting the lower end faces 111B to 115B is considered the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.

[0052] Next, with reference to Figures 5, 10, and 12, an example of how to attach the slope leveling member 100 to the leveling weight 4 according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 10 is a diagram showing the second stage of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment. Figure 11 is a diagram showing the third stage of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment. Figure 12 is a diagram showing the fourth stage of the method for attaching the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment.

[0053] The first step is the same as the first embodiment described with reference to Figure 5, in which the guide member 30 is placed on the ground 40 with the stair surfaces 31-35 facing upward (placement step).

[0054] In the second stage shown in Figure 10, the slope leveling member 100 is lowered from above onto the guide member 30 that was placed in the placement step, so that the lower end surfaces 111B to 115B of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 come into contact with the stepped surfaces 31 to 35 of the guide member 30. As a result, as shown by arrows F1 to F5 in Figure 10, each block 111 to 115 moves upward individually due to the reaction force received from the stepped surfaces 31 to 35. As a result, the positions of the multiple stepped lower end surfaces 111B to 115B of the slope leveling member 100 can be positioned collectively (positioning step). In the example in Figure 10, each block 111 to 115 is positioned so that the through hole 121 of block 111, the through hole 122A of block 112, the through hole 123A of block 113, the through hole 124A of block 114, and the through hole 125A of block 115 are at the same height.

[0055] In the third stage shown in Figure 11, the relative positions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115, which were positioned in the positioning step, are held by a rod 116 acting as a holding part (holding step). In the example in Figure 11, a single rod 116 is inserted from the horizontal direction, which is the extension direction of each hole, as indicated by arrow G, through the through hole 121 of block 111, the through hole 122A of block 112, the through hole 123A of block 113, the through hole 124A of block 114, and the through hole 125A of block 115, which are all aligned at the same height. This holds the relative positions of the multiple blocks 111 to 115. With respect to the base 110 of the slope leveling member 100 in this state, the leveling weight 4 is brought closer to the base 110 from above, as indicated by arrow H in Figure 11.

[0056] In the fourth stage shown in Figure 12, the leveling weight 4 is lowered from above onto the slope leveling member 100, which has been held in the holding step, and the base 110 of the slope leveling member 100 is connected to the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4 (connecting step). As with the first embodiment, any method that allows for easy attachment and detachment can be used to connect the base 110 to the leveling weight 4.

[0057] As explained with reference to Figures 5 and 10-12, according to the method of attaching the slope leveling member 100 to the leveling weight 4 according to the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, the slope leveling member 100 can be attached with the leveling weight 4 suspended vertically by using the guide member 30, so the area of ​​the ground 40 required for attachment can be limited to the size of the footprint of the guide member 30. Therefore, according to the method of attaching the slope leveling member 100 to the leveling weight 4 according to the second embodiment, the space required for attaching the slope leveling member 100 can be reduced.

[0058] Figure 13 shows examples of other inclination angles for the slope leveling member 100. Figure 13(A) shows an example of a combination of height positions for each block where the ratio of height to base is 1:1.5, when the line segment connecting the stepped lower end faces is considered as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Figure 13(B) shows an example of a combination of height positions for each block where the ratio of height to base is 1:1.2.

[0059] In Figure 13(A), blocks 111 to 115 are positioned such that the through-holes 121 in block 111, 122B in block 112, 123B in block 113, 124B in block 114, and 125B in block 115 are at the same height. A rod 116 is then inserted through these through-holes, and the height of each block 111 to 115 is maintained such that the ratio of height to base is 1:1.5 when the line segment connecting the stepped lower end faces 111B to 115B is considered the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

[0060] In Figure 13(B), blocks 111 to 115 are positioned such that the through-holes 121 in block 111, 122C in block 112, 123C in block 113, 124C in block 114, and 125C in block 115 are at the same height. A rod 116 is then inserted through these through-holes, and the height of each block 111 to 115 is maintained such that the ratio of height to base is 1:1.2 when the line segment connecting the stepped lower end faces 111B to 115B is considered the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

[0061] Furthermore, in the slope leveling member 100 according to the second embodiment, the relative positions of the lower end faces 111B to 115B of the multiple blocks 111 to 115 can be changed. Therefore, the sliding positions of the lower end faces 111B to 115B can be aligned to form a single plane with the lower end faces 111B to 115B as a whole. For such position adjustment, for example, through holes can be provided at the same vertical position in each block 111 to 115, and a rod 116 can be inserted through these through holes.

[0062] By treating each of the lower end surfaces 111B to 115B of the slope leveling member 100 as a single plane, the slope leveling member 100 can be used not only for leveling the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6 but also for leveling the top surface 6A. This makes it possible to level both the top surface 6A and the slope 6B of the foundation rubble mound 6 using a single slope leveling member 100, eliminating the need to attach and detach the slope leveling member 100 from the lower end 4B of the leveling weight 4, regardless of whether the surface to be leveled is the top surface 6A or the slope 6B. Therefore, according to the slope leveling member 100 of the second embodiment, the construction efficiency of the overall leveling work of the foundation rubble mound 6 can be improved.
