Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of roadbed construction equipment technology, specifically to a construction device and method for filling roadbeds with stable high-water-content silt. Background Technology
[0002] Using high-moisture silt for roadbed filling can save costs and reduce the burden of transportation and disposal. However, the high water content and varied composition of silt make it prone to problems such as low strength, poor shear resistance, and difficulty in controlling settlement and fluidity when used directly. Traditional dry hardening modification with large amounts of cement or lime requires pretreatment, is energy-intensive, and makes it difficult to achieve construction continuity. Foamed concrete, which combines stable foam with silt and cement paste, can reduce its self-weight and improve its structure and performance. However, its field application faces key challenges such as the foam's susceptibility to breakage under high shear, the sensitivity of foam stability and density to mechanical properties, and fluctuations in material properties due to unstable proportioning and transportation.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need in engineering for a highly integrated mobile construction device and method that can achieve foam preparation and pressurized transportation, storage and pressurization of high-moisture sludge with a mixer, and mixing and pumping of cement slurry on the same mobile frame, while protecting the foam structure through low-shear mixing by a low-speed multi-blade impeller. Each system should use independent pipelines, valves, and metering devices to precisely control the supply rate, and cooperate with uniform spraying and adjustable leveling to achieve continuous construction along the roadbed direction, thereby improving construction uniformity, ensuring material performance, and enhancing on-site adaptability and construction efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0047] 1) Connect the mobile frame 1 to the vehicle and drive it to the target location at the construction site, positioning it on one side of the roadbed to be filled;
[0048] 2) Start the foam making and conveying device 2, and inject the synthetic polymer surface active foaming agent and water at a ratio of 1:30 through the conveying pipe 21 at the top of the device. Use the air compression equipment in the foaming machine 22 to form bubbles with a density of about 48 kg / m³.
[0049] 3) Start the high water content sludge storage and conveying device 3, put the sludge with a water content of about 65% into the storage tank, and continuously stir it with the agitator 31.
[0050] 4) Start the cement mixing and conveying device 4, mix ordinary Portland cement and water at a ratio of 1:0.45, and stir thoroughly under the spiral mixer 41.
[0051] 5) Start the conveying device for sludge and cement. The sludge and cement are conveyed from the upper end of the mixing device 5 to the mixing tank of the mixing device 5 via the second high-pressure pumping device 32 and the third high-pressure pumping device 42. The materials are stirred in the mixing tank by the low-speed impeller device 52 for 5 minutes to make them evenly mixed.
[0052] 6) Start the foam production and conveying device, and convey the foam to the middle of the mixing device 5 through the first high-pressure pumping device 23. The volume ratio of foam to cement-sludge slurry is set to about 1:30 to obtain a suitable foam void structure.
[0053] 7) The impeller in the mixing device rotates slowly and the mixture is stirred for 10 minutes to fully mix the materials and minimize damage to the foam. After mixing, a high water content silt-stabilized foam concrete mixture with uniform pore distribution is formed.
[0054] 8) Open the valve device 54 in the mixing device, and use the spraying device 6 located at the bottom of the mobile frame to transport the mixture and spray it evenly onto the roadbed. The spraying thickness should be controlled at about 15 cm.
[0055] 9) Activate the leveling device 7 at the rear of the mobile frame. The leveling device moves with the vehicle and drives the scraper 73 to compact and level the concrete surface through the hydraulic telescopic rod 71. Adjust the height of the scraper 73 by rotating the rolling shaft device 72.
[0056] 10) This method allows for material preparation, spraying, and leveling operations to be completed in a continuous, mobile state, achieving integrated on-site construction. Testing revealed that the resulting roadbed fill layer has uniform density, a smooth surface, and strength and stability that are more than 20% higher than traditional step-by-step construction methods.

In its natural state, it is in a fluid-plastic state and lacks workability. The high-moisture silt stable subgrade filling construction device provided by this invention is used for on-site construction.
[0059] 2) The mobile frame 1 is towed to the construction starting point by a trailer and the vehicle body is leveled according to the design elevation.
[0060] 3) Start the foam production and conveying device 2, add foaming agent solution to the foaming device, and use the air compression system to foam to generate stable foam with a density of 50 kg / m³.

[0063] 6) Start the conveying device for sludge and cement, and convey it into the mixing tank from the top of the mixing device 5 through high pressure. The material is stirred in the mixing tank by a low-speed impeller for 5 minutes to make it evenly mixed.
[0064] 7) Start the foam production and conveying device, and convey the foam to the middle of the mixing device through the high pressure device. The volume ratio of high water content sludge, cement slurry and foam is maintained at 10:1:1 to obtain a suitable foam void structure.
[0065] 8) The low-speed impeller in the mixing device runs at a speed of about 35 r / min and mixes for 10 minutes to fully mix the materials and minimize damage to the foam. After mixing, a high water content silt-stabilized foam concrete mixture with uniform pore distribution is formed.
[0066] 9) Open the valve in the mixing device, and spray the mixture evenly onto the laid base layer through the spray nozzle of the spraying device 6. The thickness of the spray layer should be controlled at about 20 cm.
[0067] 10) Activate the leveling device 7 at the rear of the mobile vehicle frame. During the spraying process, the leveling device 7 works synchronously, using a horizontal scraper with automatic height adjustment to level and lightly compact the sprayed layer, so that the road surface flatness reaches ±5 mm.
[0068] 11) After construction, following 24 hours of initial setting and 7 days of curing, the unconfined compressive strength of the fill layer reached 0.9 MPa and the dry density reached 1.45 g / cm³, meeting the design requirements of the highway subgrade.
