Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of municipal water conservancy projects, and particularly relates to a prefabricated plain concrete thin-wall dam and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A buttress dam is a light dam with a delicate structure, which can save 20% - 60% of concrete compared with a gravity dam, and is especially suitable for areas with a relatively wide river valley, good geological conditions and poor transportation conditions. For traditional buttress dams, since the water weight on the inclined panel is utilized to help the dam body stabilize, and the uplift pressure on the buttress foundation is small, the volume of the dam is greatly reduced. However, the buttresses bear the weight, and thus need to have extremely strong compressive and anti-sliding capabilities, which requires very high requirements for the foundation and must be built on rock foundations. The buttress dam is light in volume and less in material consumption, but has a large amount of steel bars, and the structure and construction are complex. The buttress dam is provided with a support structure at the dam foundation and dam shoulder positions, and these support structures are used to bear the water pressure and other external forces of the dam body, and are applicable to the case of good foundation conditions.

[0003] The existing buttress dams have the following problems: (1) The traditional buttress arch dam adopts the method of in-situ casting, with complex construction technology, extremely high requirements for geological conditions, long construction period, low efficiency and poor adaptability, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of projects with complex geological conditions.

[0004] (2) When the traditional buttress arch dam is applied under complex conditions, stress concentration is likely to occur in local areas of the dam body. Stress concentration may cause the dam body to crack or deform, and the local structural damage affects the overall stability and durability, and may lead to the instability of the overall structure, with relatively high safety risks.

[0005] (3) After local damage to the traditional buttress arch dam, the maintenance construction is difficult and time-consuming, and the construction and use costs are high.

[0006] With the progress of technology, the cost of concrete materials has decreased, and it is easy to prepare on-site. It has become a common practice to directly use concrete with regular shapes to replace natural stones to build concrete block dams; with the popularization of water-retaining membrane products, the practice of laying flexible water-retaining membranes in dam construction to form an independent waterproof layer has achieved good application effects; in modern architecture, the use of anchor seats and cables can efficiently provide strong tensile force for building components, and has been widely used in bridges and large-span buildings. In dam construction, if these technologies can be fully integrated, a new type of dam with a more concise structure and lighter shape can be built. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a new type of prefabricated plain concrete thin-wall dam and a construction method thereof, and a force transmission system is established between the plain concrete arch ring and the anchor seat to conduct the pressure borne by the plain concrete arch ring to the anchor seat to maintain the anti-sliding stability of the dam body.

[0008] The dam is constructed by stacking and assembling plain concrete blocks, the plain concrete blocks being laid out in a manner similar to that of a conventional dam, and the dam being fixed to the foundations of the columns. The anchors are located on the riverbanks on both sides upstream of the dam, above the verified flood level. Cables connect the tops of the columns to the anchors. The direction of the resultant tension of the cables on each column is opposite to the direction of the resultant water pressure on the column. The direction of the resultant tension is perpendicular to the dam axis and points upstream. The anti-seepage system consists of a hydraulic membrane and an underground anti-seepage body. The underground anti-seepage body is arranged on the upstream side of the dam body. An anti-seepage wall is set on the top of the underground anti-seepage body. The hydraulic membrane is sealed and connected to the anti-seepage wall with a water-stop joint plate; the hydraulic membrane covers the water-facing side of the dam body and the reservoir bottom between the dam body and the underground anti-seepage body. The top of the hydraulic membrane is suspended on the top of the dam body to form a continuous and closed anti-seepage base surface; a protective layer is set under the hydraulic membrane, hydraulic cloth is laid on steep areas, and fine-grained river sand is laid on flat areas.

[0009] A method for constructing an assembled plain concrete thin-wall dam, characterized by comprising the following steps: S1. Design the reservoir dam based on the reservoir size, topography, and geological conditions. Anchors shall be installed on the riverbanks on both sides upstream of the dam at a location above the reservoir high water level, perpendicular to the dam axis where the columns are located. If no suitable location is available in front of the dam, anchors shall be installed on both sides of the dam and tensioned with the columns via cables, with the two cables tensioning the same column symmetrically. If no suitable location is available on both sides of the dam, anchors shall be installed on the reservoir bottom in front of the dam using pull-out piles. Water intake, water transfer, and flood discharge facilities shall be installed on the riverbanks or other dam sections outside the concrete thin-walled dam section, and dam components shall be prefabricated according to the design specifications. S2: Arrange an anti-seepage system upstream of the dam axis of the plain concrete thin-wall dam section, set a reinforced concrete anti-seepage wall on top of the anti-seepage system, and embed a waterstop plate on top of the anti-seepage wall; S3. Excavate the dam foundation to solid bedrock or a foundation that meets the dam construction requirements after strengthening treatment. Trim the cross-section foundation into a vertical bank slope step type, and pour concrete column foundations on the foundation. The column foundations are evenly arranged along the dam axis; pour arch ring beams between adjacent columns; S4. Set up scaffolds and scaffolding. Fix the columns on the column foundations by means of post-cast strips to connect the columns and column foundations into one body; for the columns at the ends, pour and connect them directly to the column foundations on the side close to the shore or the vertical surface of the stepped rock foundation. For the plain concrete arch rings adjacent to other dam sections, the arch feet at the end close to other dam sections are directly set on other dam sections; S5. Install struts and cross braces; install cables. After all are connected, gradually tighten the cables in a cycle; use concrete blocks to build the arch rings on the arch ring beams. Only plain concrete blocks of the same specification are used for one layer of the arch ring, and plain concrete blocks of different specifications must be used for the adjacent upper and lower layers; the blocks are connected by load transfer bars between the blocks and between the blocks and the columns to limit relative displacement; all arch rings are built step by step symmetrically and cyclically, rising synchronously. During the building process, connect the backwater surface hanging buckles synchronously and install wire meshes to prevent the blocks or baffles from slipping towards the water-facing surface; then disassemble and remove the scaffolds and scaffolding; S6. On the reservoir bottom between the front side of the thin-walled dam and the water stop connection plate, lay a fine-grained river sand cushion layer, and thicken the laying at the corners; on the steep water-facing surface of the thin-walled dam and the top surface of the fine-grained river sand, lay geotextiles, and lay geomembranes on the geotextiles. The geomembranes are connected to the surrounding water stop connection plates and are suspended and fixed; for the protruding parts of the sub-structures in contact with the geomembrane under the geomembrane, round corners are made.

[0010] Further, the distance between the arch feet of the arch rings on both sides of the water-facing surface of the column is greater than 0.4 m, which is convenient for construction and makes the arc segments of the concrete arch rings in contact with the water body on the water-facing surface be complete and strict semi-circles, so as to ensure that there is only a normal pressure perpendicular to the contact surface between the column and the arch ring and between the arch ring blocks. All the main load-bearing members are connected without hinges, and local stress concentration is eliminated through controllable mutual displacement to avoid damage to the members, thereby improving the overall safety and durability of the dam.

[0011] Further, the joints of the plain concrete blocks adjacent to each other up and down in the same plain concrete arch ring are staggered. Load transfer bar sockets are opened on the four connecting surfaces of the upper, lower, left, and right of each plain concrete block, and load transfer bars are inserted between the plain concrete blocks adjacent to each other up and down and left and right and between the columns and the plain concrete blocks for connection.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Compared with existing dam types, the prefabricated plain concrete thin-wall dam described in the present invention has the advantages of light weight and material saving in the structure of buttress arch dams, small uplift pressure on the dam foundation, etc., and also has the following advantages: (1) This dam type reduces the requirements for the geological conditions of the dam foundation and has strong adaptability. The water-retaining surface of the buttress arch dam is an inclined plane, which bears the heavy pressure of the upper water body, and the pressure on the buttress foundation is large; the connection surface between the thin-shell dam surface and the dam foundation is thin, and the anti-seepage pressure difference of the foundation is large; traditional arch dams have high requirements for the compressive and anti-seepage properties of the dam foundation; the water-retaining surface of the dam type described in the present invention is vertical, and the dam foundation only bears the weight of the thin-wall dam body itself. The distance between the underground anti-seepage body located upstream and the dam axis is large, and the pressure difference corresponding to the unit length of the anti-seepage body is small, reducing the requirements for the compressive and anti-seepage properties of the dam foundation. (2) The construction difficulty is small and the speed is fast. The water-retaining surface of the buttress arch dam is a thin-shell curved surface, which requires high construction technology and great difficulty for formwork engineering, and the maintenance period of cast-in-place reinforced concrete is long. The underground anti-seepage body and the water-retaining dam are located in the same section, and the construction is carried out from bottom to top and gradually unfolds, with a long construction period; the dam body and dam foundation of this dam type do not bear the gravity of the water body, the load on the components and the dam foundation is small, the material and process requirements are low, the dam body components are connected in series with each other by dowel bars and assembled without binder, the support and fixation difficulty is small, the installation accuracy is high, and the construction speed is fast. On the main river course, the underground anti-seepage body and the water-retaining dam are staggered up and down, which is convenient for organizing parallel construction and accelerating the overall construction speed; (3) The construction and use costs are low. The load characteristics of the columns and thin-wall arches with equal diameter and equal depth are completely the same, and their shapes and specifications are the same, which is conducive to standardization and sizing, fine design and mass production. The dam body is thin and the components are light and small, which is convenient for the rapid assembly of the dam body and reduces the use of large construction machinery and equipment; the price of plain concrete is low, and the independent anti-seepage structure makes the load-bearing structure members of the water-retaining dam not immersed in water, with excellent working conditions, significantly improved weather resistance, and enhanced anti-freezing and anti-corrosion capabilities, which can reduce the requirements for dam-building materials and processes and extend the service life; all components of this dam type are movably connected, and the flexible splicing can flexibly adapt to local deformations, avoid stress concentration, reduce component damage, and each assembled component is independent. When damage occurs, it can be quickly replaced and repaired at low cost, which can further reduce the life-cycle cost of this type of dam.

[0013] Compared with traditional dams that rely on high-strength materials or complex reinforcement measures, the force transmission system composed of cables, columns and wire meshes in the present invention is designed more simply and efficiently, with significant technical advantages. Using plain concrete blocks and geomembranes as the main materials, the material cost is low, and it is easy to mass-produce and transport. In addition, the prefabricated structure reduces the complexity of on-site construction and labor costs, further reducing the overall construction cost. Description of the Drawings
