Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering, and particularly relates to a structure for controlling expansive soil slope landslide and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] The Heilongjiang Northern Nenjiang Water Diversion Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Northern Diversion Project") is located in western Heilongjiang Province, nestled in the heart of the Songnen Plain on the left bank of the middle reaches of the Nenjiang River. It is the largest damless water diversion project in Heilongjiang Province. The project diverts water from the main stream of the Nenjiang River to the Hongqipao Reservoir and the Daqing Reservoir, meeting the needs of Daqing's petrochemical production and urban life, while also providing agricultural water for 24 irrigation channels along the route. However, due to environmental factors such as dry-wet cycles and freeze-thaw cycles, the channel foundation is highly susceptible to freeze-thaw damage under hydrothermal conditions. Furthermore, because expansive soils contain a large number of hydrophilic minerals, they rapidly expand upon absorbing water, reducing their bearing capacity. Upon dehydration, their volume decreases significantly, potentially leading to cracks and landslides. Previous monitoring of a composite cross-section treatment method has shown good results in managing expansive soil slopes along the channel. However, the project is costly, necessitating the development of a rapid and cost-effective method for managing expansive soil slopes.

[0003] Previous studies have revealed that the weak expansive soil slopes of the North Diversion Canal suffer significant damage from the combined effects of freeze-thaw and water. Strength decreases with increasing freeze-thaw cycles, and under some conditions, frost heave deformation is significant. Large discrepancies between deformation and strength can lead to cracks and bank collapse. By investigating current expansive soil slope management technologies and considering the North Diversion Canal's function and site conditions, three less-costly methods were proposed: crushed stone, polyethylene rope + cover soil, and soil + PET sheeting. These methods were then tested and observed over a long period of time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a structure for controlling the landslide of expansive soil slopes and a construction method.

[0005] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions: A structure for controlling landslides on expansive soil slopes comprises: an original slope, a PET bag reinforcement foot provided at the lower part of the slope body of the original slope, a bidirectional geogrid covered at the slope toe of the original slope, anti-slip keys nailed to the geogrid, a covering layer covering the top of the anti-slip keys.

[0007] In the structure for controlling landslide of expansive soil slopes, the anti-slip keys are wooden piles. After the anti-slip keys are constructed, polyethylene ropes are tied on the side close to the slope. When the geogrid is laid to the anti-slip key position, the polyethylene ropes are fixed to the anti-slip key.

[0008] The structure for controlling landslide of expansive soil slopes is described. The anti-slip keys are wooden piles. After the anti-slip keys are constructed, a soil layer is laid on the wooden piles, and a PET cloth is covered on the soil layer. A PET rope is tied on the side close to the slope.

The anti-slip keys are made of wooden stakes. The anti-slip keys must be aligned with the direction of gravity, and the anti-slip keys in the same row must be aligned to ensure the laying of further covering layers. S5.

Lay the covering layer on the upper layer; S7. PET bag reinforcement foot construction: PET bag reinforcement feet are set at the lower part of the slope of the original slope. The PET bags are filled with sand or gravel and are placed at the foot of the slope.

[0010] The construction method for controlling the landslide structure of an expansive soil slope, wherein the construction process of the geogrid specifically includes: (1) Detect and clean the underlying layer; (2) Manual laying of geogrid: The geogrid is spliced ​​longitudinally using the overlap method. The grid width should be no less than 4 meters and the overlap width should be no less than 30 cm. (3) When installing and laying the grid on a flat and compacted site, its main force direction should be perpendicular to the direction of the slope. The grid should be laid flat, without wrinkles, and as tight as possible. After filling a layer of soil and before rolling, the grid should be tightened again manually or mechanically. The force should be uniform so that the grid is in a straight and stressed state in the soil. (4) When the geogrid is laid to the anti-slip key position, the anti-slip key anti-wrapping beam is reversed; after completion, the anti-wrapping beam and geogrid are fixed with "U"-shaped steel bars; (5) When laying geogrids close to the slope, the area required for backfilling should be reserved, and backfill sacks should be placed near the slope before filling. The backfilled geogrids should be fixed to the geogrids laid on the upper layer with "U"-shaped steel bars; (6) After the grid is laid and positioned, the covering layer should be laid in time, and the exposure time should not exceed 48 hours, or a continuous operation method of laying and backfilling should be adopted; first spread the filler at both ends, fix the grid, and then push it towards the middle; the order of rolling is first the two sides and then the middle.
