1results about How to "Control differential settlement" patented technology

This utility model relates to the field of road engineering technology and discloses a frost heave and differential settlement control structure suitable for culvert sections in cold regions. The structure, from top to bottom, includes a roadbed, a fill matrix, a stepped aggregate layer, a stepped high-strength foamed concrete layer, and a culvert. A main drainage pipe is inclinedly arranged in the aggregate layer, and lateral drainage pipes are provided on both sides of the roadbed slopes to drain moisture from the roadbed. The high-strength foamed concrete layer is laid above and on both sides of the culvert, providing good thermal insulation to address freezing issues exacerbated by wind tunnel effects, and buffering the frost heave force of the surrounding soil to prevent direct frost heave force from causing compression damage to the culvert structure. This structure forms a multi-level stiffness transition from flexible to semi-rigid along the culvert transition section of the roadbed, reducing differential settlement and misalignment risks at the connection between the culvert and the roadbed, improving the overall stability of the roadbed and driving safety. The overall structure is reliable, easy to construct, and suitable for widespread application in cold regions.
