Description

Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the field of geological disaster prevention and control technology, and specifically relates to a construction method for a prefabricated tunnel structure. Background Technology

[0003] The section of the Longhai Railway's northbound line from Baoji to Tianshui, between K1350+470.7 and K1350+484, is located between the exit of the Pingshan Tunnel and the entrance of the Lanshan Tunnel, with a length of 13.3 meters. The railway project, situated at a geological disaster site, is located along a river and beside a mountain. The mountainside is a loess slope with a height exceeding 50 meters. Under the influence of continuous heavy rainfall, the soil softened, its shear strength decreased, and the hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures increased. On August 17, 2020, the top of the natural slope collapsed, and the debris accumulated on the railway track, causing the Longhai Railway's northbound line to be suspended.

[0004] The loess slope at the disaster site is over 50 meters high and could still collapse under heavy rainfall, requiring thorough remediation. Using conventional slope protection structures at this site would be extremely difficult; therefore, a tunnel or open-cut structure was proposed to shield the railway from the impact of landslide debris.

[0005] Conventional open-cut tunnel structures for railways to prevent slope collapse, such as Figure 5 As shown, the formwork pouring for the upper concrete arch of the tunnel has a significant impact on railway operations. The Longhai Railway's northbound line is a national trunk line and cannot be suspended due to disaster mitigation work. Disaster mitigation work can only be carried out during 1-3 hour / day maintenance windows, making it difficult to guarantee a 3-month construction period. At this landslide site, a 6-10m layer of fill needs to be placed on the mountainside of the tunnel or shed, resulting in high lateral earth pressure and severe bias pressure. Conventional railway tunnel structures designed to prevent slope collapses theoretically cannot withstand lateral earth pressure from the slope and are unsuitable for areas with severe bias pressure. These two points determine that conventional railway tunnel structures designed to prevent slope collapses are unsuitable for mitigating this landslide hazard. Developing a suitable engineering protection structure is therefore crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a construction method for a prefabricated tunnel structure. For small components used in railway operations, reinforced concrete is cast in place, while for large components used in railway operations, reinforced concrete is prefabricated off-site. The prefabricated components are then hoisted and assembled. The constructed prefabricated tunnel structure can withstand lateral earth pressure and is suitable for areas with severe eccentric pressure. This solves the problem that conventional open-cut tunnel construction seriously affects the operation of existing railways, and also addresses the issue that conventional open-cut tunnels cannot withstand large loads on the mountainside.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A construction method for a prefabricated shed structure includes the following steps: Step 1: Construct bored anchor piles and bored cast-in-place piles; Step 2: After the steel reinforcement cage of the pier cap beam is installed in place, the formwork is erected and the pier cap beam is cast in place; Step 3: Erect formwork and cast in-situ concrete walls to complete the construction of the outer walls of the prefabricated shed opening; Step 4: Precast retaining walls and roof slabs; Step 5: Install retaining walls in layers, simultaneously place sand and gravel filter layers in layers, and simultaneously compact backfill soil and rock in layers; Step Six: After the retaining wall, sand and gravel filter layer, and backfill soil and rock are constructed to the top surface of the retaining wall, the steel cage for the capping beam is placed and the capping beam is cast in place; Step 7: Install the roof slab during the railway's maintenance window. Step 8: Compact the backfill soil and rock in layers up to the top surface of the cap beam; Step 9: Lay the EVA waterproof membrane; Step 10: Cast-in-place concrete waterproof layer; Step 11: Fill and compact the backfill soil and rock in layers; Step 12: Based on the terrain and hydrological conditions, excavate and construct drainage ditches on the top surface of the backfill soil and rocks.

[0008] Furthermore, step one specifically includes: Due to the proximity of railway construction to operations and the lack of conditions for blasting and excavating rocks, a combination of manual labor and pneumatic picks was used to excavate the pile holes for bored anchor piles and bored cast-in-place piles, hoist the reinforcing cages, and then pour the concrete for the bored anchor piles and bored cast-in-place piles.

[0009] Furthermore, the prefabricated shed structure constructed according to the aforementioned construction method is specifically as follows: A pile-slab retaining wall is installed on the mountainside of the railway, and an outer wall of a prefabricated tunnel structure is installed on the mountainside of the railway. A top slab is installed on top of the pile-slab retaining wall and the outer wall; The pile-slab retaining wall includes bored anchor piles and retaining plates, and a capping beam is provided on the top of the bored anchor piles; The outer wall includes bored cast-in-place piles, with a foundation beam at the top of the bored cast-in-place piles, and a concrete wall at the top of the foundation beam.

[0010] Furthermore, a sand-pebble filter layer is provided on the back side of the retaining plate.

[0011] Furthermore, an EVA waterproof membrane is provided on the top plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a concrete waterproof layer is provided on the EVA waterproof board.

[0013] Furthermore, backfill soil and rocks are installed on the inner and upper sides of the prefabricated shed.

[0014] Furthermore, the bored anchor piles and the capping beam are made of cast-in-place reinforced concrete, while the retaining plate is made of precast reinforced concrete.

[0015] Furthermore, the EVA waterproofing membrane and concrete waterproofing layer are laid from the inside of the mountain to the outer wall of the shed.

[0016] Furthermore, the crown beam is provided with a tongue and groove joint on the side facing the railway, and the concrete wall is provided with a tongue and groove joint on the side facing the railway.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1) The prefabricated tunnel structure constructed by this invention can withstand lateral earth pressure and is suitable for areas with severe eccentric pressure. It solves the problem that conventional open-cut tunnel construction seriously affects the operation of existing railways, and at the same time solves the problem that conventional open-cut tunnels cannot withstand large loads on the mountain side. 2) This invention uses cast-in-place reinforced concrete for small components used in railway operations, and prefabricates reinforced concrete off-site for large components used in railway operations. The prefabricated components are then hoisted and assembled, which improves construction efficiency. Attached Figure Description
