Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering and transportation infrastructure construction, and in particular relates to a composite foundation settlement calculation method considering grouting at a karst rock-soil interface. Background Art
[0002] In my country, karst geological phenomena are widely distributed, accounting for more than one-third of the country's land area, and are common adverse geological conditions in railway projects. In order to cope with the adverse effects of karst on the stability of railway subgrades, the "Railway Special Subgrade Design Code" (TB10035-2018) puts forward clear requirements for the treatment of karst subgrades. When the thickness of the karst cover layer is greater than 5m, grouting technology should be used to seal the soil-rock interface to form a water-proof curtain; among them, the grouting thickness of the soil layer above the bedrock surface should not be less than 3.0m, and the grouting depth into the bedrock should not be less than 5m. For deep-cover karst areas with a cover layer thickness of ≥30m, foundation treatment measures combining composite foundations and karst grouting are usually adopted. This type of treatment method effectively enhances the bearing capacity and stability of the subgrade and is an important technical means in high-speed railway construction.
[0003] However, current design and calculation methods have significant technical deficiencies when applying a combination of composite foundation and karst grouting treatment measures. High-speed railways have extremely strict requirements for controlling foundation deformation, especially for ballastless tracks, where the permitted post-construction settlement is only 15 mm. “Millimeter-level” settlement control is directly related to the safety and smooth operation of high-speed trains. However, existing settlement design and calculation methods do not fully consider the effect of grouting the soil layer above the bedrock surface on improving the compression modulus of the foundation soil, and ignore the significant impact of the 3m grouting layer on reducing post-construction settlement of the roadbed. As a result, the calculation results cannot meet the requirements for precise millimeter-level settlement control of high-speed railways. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new settlement calculation method for high-speed railway composite foundations that comprehensively considers the improvement effect of karst grouting on foundation performance to further improve the accuracy of settlement calculation for karst roadbed composite foundations. Summary of the Invention

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a composite foundation settlement calculation method considering grouting at the karst rock-soil interface. The upper covering layer in the limestone karst area is n layers, and the thickness of each soil layer is h1, h2, ..., h n , the corresponding soil compression modulus is E s1 、E s2 ,…,E sn Here, the "cover layer" refers to a series of soil layers located above the bedrock. Its physical properties have an important influence on the settlement calculation, especially the thickness and compression modulus, which determine the deformation characteristics and bearing capacity of each soil layer. The length of the composite foundation reinforcement pile is L, and it is reinforced to the mth layer to form a stable support structure. The distance between the bottom surface of the reinforcement pile group and the bottom surface of each soil layer is Z. m 、Z m+1 ,…,Z n After considering karst grouting, the compression modulus of the soil layer above the bedrock surface is increased by λ1, λ2, ..., λ n ,λ n ≥1.0, the total settlement of the composite foundation is:
[0034] S=m s (S1+S2)
[0035] Among them, S1 is the settlement of the reinforced area, S2 is the settlement of the underlying layer, m s is the empirical correction coefficient for settlement.
[0036] In this embodiment, the calculation steps of the reinforcement area settlement are as follows:
[0037] S1, calculate the compression modulus E of the soil between piles S and the compression modulus improvement factor of soil between piles Calculate the compression modulus E of the soil between piles according to the depth of composite foundation treatment S and the compression modulus improvement factor of soil between piles
[0038]
[0039]
[0040] Among them, E Si is the compression modulus of each soil layer, h i is the thickness of each soil layer, λ i Improvement coefficient for compression modulus of each soil layer;
[0041] S2, calculate the compression modulus E of the composite foundation sp :
[0042]
[0043] Among them, E P is the compression modulus of the pile, m r is the area replacement rate;
[0044] S3, calculate the settlement of the reinforced area S1:
[0045]
[0046] Among them, P0 is the additional stress at the bottom of the embankment, P z is the additional stress on the bottom surface of the reinforcement area.
[0047] In this embodiment, the settlement of the underlying layer S2 is:
[0048]
[0049] Among them, Z i is the distance between the bottom surface of the reinforcement pile group and each layer, α i is the average additional stress coefficient from the bottom surface of the reinforced pile group to the bottom surface of the i-th layer.
[0050] Furthermore, the compression modulus of each soil layer is increased by the coefficient λ i The regularity is obvious with the distance from the grouting area and the properties of the covering soil. The closer the soil layer is to the grouting area, the higher the λ iThe larger the value. This is because during the grouting process, the slurry fills the pores of the soil layer and gradually solidifies, resulting in a significant increase in the density and strength of the soil layer near the grouting area, which is manifested as an increase in the compression modulus. As the distance from the grouting area increases, the penetration range of the slurry gradually weakens, so the improvement coefficient gradually decreases, but it still has an important impact on the settlement calculation. By adopting a variety of methods such as field tests and indoor tests, the compression modulus improvement coefficient of each soil layer above the bedrock surface after karst grouting is determined. During the test, by collecting and testing soil layer samples near the grouting area, it was found that the value of the soil layer compression modulus improvement coefficient is closely related to the distance from the grouting area and the soil properties of the covering soil. In addition, the soil properties of the covering soil, such as moisture content, particle size distribution and density, will also affect λ i In the experiment, the analysis of these parameters is to determine the i It provides a reliable theoretical basis and further verifies the significant effect of grouting on improving foundation soil performance.
[0051] In this embodiment, the total depth of the overburden is greater than or equal to 30 meters. This method is suitable for deep-cover karst areas, where the geological conditions are complex and traditional methods have difficulty accurately assessing settlement behavior. The grouting thickness of the soil layer above the bedrock surface should not be less than 3.0 meters, and the depth of grouting into the bedrock should not be less than 5.0 meters. This grouting design ensures the reinforcement effect of the contact area between the overburden and the bedrock, thereby forming a stable water-proof curtain, which not only improves the compressive capacity of the soil layer above the bedrock surface, but also effectively prevents the infiltration of groundwater from affecting the stability of the structure.
[0052] A cushion layer of crushed stone and medium-coarse sand is set on the top of the reinforcement pile, and several layers of geogrid are set in the cushion layer. Specifically, the roadbed fill body includes a cushion layer of crushed stone and medium-coarse sand of not less than 0.4 meters laid on the top of the reinforcement pile, 1 to 2 layers of geogrid are set in the cushion layer, and then the upper roadbed is filled in layers to form the roadbed fill body. The setting of the crushed stone and medium-coarse sand cushion layer not only provides a stable construction platform for the upper roadbed, but also avoids the influence of water softening on the foundation by enhancing the drainage performance. At the same time, arranging 1 to 2 layers of geogrid in the cushion layer further improves the tensile strength and overall stability of the cushion layer, helps to disperse the load and reduce local stress concentration, thereby extending the service life of the entire roadbed structure. Specifically, the geogrid adopts a two-way warp-knitted polyester geogrid, the material of which has excellent tensile strength and durability, and can significantly improve the overall stability of the cushion layer. The bidirectional warp knitting design provides uniform support in the cushion layer, effectively dispersing the upper load, avoiding deformation of the roadbed structure due to local stress concentration, and thus enhancing the overall roadbed structure's anti-deformation ability.
[0053] In summary, the present invention discloses a composite foundation settlement calculation method that takes into account grouting at the karst rock-soil interface. By adopting a variety of methods such as field tests and indoor tests, the compression modulus improvement coefficient of each soil layer above the bedrock surface after karst grouting is determined. By proposing the soil layer compression modulus improvement coefficient and introducing it into the composite foundation settlement calculation formula, combined with the cover layer depth, grouting thickness, bedrock depth and soil layer characteristics, the improvement effect of grouting on soil layer performance is accurately described. This method defines in detail the value range and variation law of the soil layer compression modulus improvement coefficient, and combines the settlement of the pile reinforcement area and the settlement of the underlying layer to improve the settlement calculation formula and achieve high-precision settlement prediction. By adopting the method of the present invention, the calculation accuracy of karst grouting for roadbed reinforcement can be significantly improved, especially for composite foundation treatment measures in deep-cover karst areas, providing a scientific basis for millimeter-level settlement control of high-speed railways. While ensuring the stability and safety of the roadbed, the present invention optimizes the foundation treatment scheme, reduces construction and later maintenance costs, and improves engineering efficiency and quality. The present invention has important guiding significance for the construction of foundation engineering in karst areas, provides reliable technical support for infrastructure with strict requirements on settlement, such as high-speed railways and bridges, and further promotes the development of foundation treatment technology in karst geological environments. It fills the research gap in the existing technology that does not fully consider the impact of grouting on soil performance, and provides the industry with an innovative calculation method with strong practicality and wide adaptability.
