Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de mise en prise avec le sol ayant une partie principale pour supporter une charge appliquée par un article, et une ou plusieurs parties de mise en prise de pieu associées à la partie principale. La partie principale pouvant résister à une déformation provoquée par la force en l'absence de toute structure de renforcement s'étendant à travers la partie principale, ou le long ou à proximité d'un bord de la partie principale, ou à travers une région centrale de la partie principale. La déformation est empêchée par une structure de renforcement dans une région centrale de la partie principale.
