Movement in mountainous terrain is not only a privilege of tourists or athletes but also the work environment for many professionals. One group of these, military personnel, differs from the others. The stay of armed forces has distinct purposes – to fulfill an operation. Moving and staying in remote exposed terrains requires the use of specific techniques. One of the unusual techniques utilized mostly by armies is the construction of improvised via ferrata routes. Those are mostly built for non-climbing units for their safety in rocky terrain.
The construction itself differs from common saved routes in a few features whereas the most important one is the utilization of textile, dynamic rope instead of the steel one. Whilst common steel-saved routes are a matter of thorough examinations with normalized tests, proper construction manuals, and precise results, there is no similar knowledge of improvised via ferratas.
We performed 80 falls in 8 different conditions to find out more about impact forces at improvised via ferratas.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Ferrata yoluyla doğaçlamada darbe kuvvetleri

Dağlık arazide hareket etmek sadece turistlerin veya sporcuların ayrıcalığı değil, aynı zamanda birçok profesyonel için çalışma ortamıdır. Bunlardan bir grup, askeri personel, diğerlerinden farklıdır. Silahlı kuvvetlerin görevde kalmasının farklı amaçları vardır - bir operasyonu gerçekleştirmek. Uzak maruz kalan arazilerde hareket etmek ve kalmak, belirli tekniklerin kullanılmasını gerektirir. Çoğunlukla ordular tarafından kullanılan olağandışı tekniklerden biri, ferrata yollarıyla doğaçlama yapımıdır. Bunlar çoğunlukla kayalık arazide güvenlikleri için tırmanmayan birimler için inşa edilmiştir.
Konstrüksiyonun kendisi birkaç özellikte ortak tasarruflu rotalardan farklılık gösterirken, en önemlisi çelik yerine tekstil, dinamik halat kullanılmasıdır. Genel çelik tasarrufu rotaları, normalleştirilmiş testler, uygun inşaat kılavuzları ve kesin sonuçlarla kapsamlı incelemeler konusu olsa da, ferratas yoluyla doğaçlama hakkında benzer bir bilgi yoktur.
Ferratas ile doğaçlamadaki çarpma kuvvetleri hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmek için 8 farklı koşulda 80 düşme gerçekleştirdik.

Anahtar Kelimeler
