Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of underground passage construction, and particularly relates to a counterforce structure construction method for pipe curtain jacking. BACKGROUND

[0002] In underground engineering construction, pipe curtain support technology is widely used in underground passage excavation engineering under complex geological conditions such as soft soil area and water-rich stratum due to its good soil reinforcement, waterproofing and bearing capacity. In the process of pipe curtain jacking construction, reliable counterforce structure is needed to provide jacking counterforce to ensure that the pipe curtain can be accurately and stably jacked into the preset position. The existing pipe curtain jacking counterforce structure mostly uses cast-in-place reinforced concrete back wall or steel support structure. The back wall has problems such as long construction period, large material consumption and poor adaptability. The support strength of steel support is limited. For example, the construction method disclosed in the announcement No. CN113685202B needs to set a relatively long length of steel support when working in soft clay, which greatly interferes with the construction. In addition, the soil stability of the underground passage to be constructed under soft clay geology is poor, and the jacking of the pipe curtain is prone to deviation during the construction process, which makes the later excavation more difficult.

[0020] As Figure 1 , 2 , 3, a counterforce structure construction method for pipe roof jacking, the construction method comprises the following steps: S1, measuring and lofting the working well, and setting up protection piles 1 along the corresponding lines on both sides and in front of the working well, the protection piles 1 being mixing piles, any two adjacent protection piles 1 being engaged with each other to form a protection curtain wall, which can be used as a waterproof curtain wall while improving the structural strength by mutual engagement, so as to avoid external groundwater from seeping into the working well.

[0021] S2, setting up support piles 5 at both ends of the corresponding lines at the rear of the working well, a plurality of support piles 5 being engaged with each other, generally 2-3 can be used, the support piles 5 being bored piles with a steel cage below and pouring concrete, the lower end of the support pile 5 being located 4-5 m below the pipe roof 9 elevation below the to-be-excavated underground passage 4, having high strength, so as to form counterforce columns corresponding to the pipe roof 9 on both sides of the to-be-excavated underground passage 4, which can be used as support components for pipe roof 9 jacking along with the working well excavation progress, and the support pile 5 is broken down along with the working well excavation progress.

[0022] Between the two counterforce columns, steel sheet piles 7 are set up along the corresponding lines at the rear of the working well, a gap being left between any two adjacent steel sheet piles 7, the gap between the steel sheet piles 7 being not greater than one half of the width of the steel sheet pile 7, the gap between the steel sheet piles 7 being used as a channel for inserting the grouting pipe 11, and the construction quantity of the steel sheet piles 7 can be reduced, the construction disturbance to the surrounding of the working well can be reduced, and the construction efficiency is improved.

[0023] S3, excavation is carried out by excavating equipment such as excavators, and foundation pit support is done well during the excavation process to avoid soil collapse. After the working well is excavated to the corresponding pipe roof 9 elevation above the to-be-excavated underground passage 4, the excavation is stopped, the counterforce steel sheet 6 is installed on the counterforce wall, and the guide rail corresponding to the pipe roof 9 is laid, the counterforce steel sheet 6 is provided with perforations, the grouting pipe 11 is inserted through the counterforce steel sheet 6, and then the grouting pipe 11 extends into the rear undisturbed soil from the gap between the steel sheet piles 7, and is consolidated with the rear undisturbed soil by grouting, so as to form a composite counterforce system by the synergistic effect of the counterforce columns formed by the support piles 5 and the consolidated undisturbed soil after grouting, effectively improving the bearing capacity and stability of the counterforce structure. In the embodiment, the lower end of the steel sheet pile 7 can be set at 2 m below the working well excavation surface, which reduces the construction difficulty and construction disturbance.

[0024] Step S4, install the jacking device and guide rail, drill the insertion hole on the protective curtain wall, and then jack the pipe curtain 9.

[0029] The lower ends of the protective piles 1 and the support piles 5 are located below the pipe curtains 9 below the underground passage 4 to be excavated by 4-5 m, so as to ensure the anti-overturning and bearing capacity of the protective piles 1.

[0030] During the excavation of the working well, the undisturbed soil behind the counterfort wall is excavated synchronously, the excavation line of the undisturbed soil behind the counterfort wall is controlled to be at least 1 m higher than the excavation line of the working well, and the undisturbed soil 2 m behind the counterfort wall is graded to form a slope surface 8. The slope of the slope surface 8 is determined according to the geological conditions, and is generally 1:0.5-1:1, so as to ensure the stability of the soil behind the counterfort wall.
