Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inverted siphon construction, specifically relating to an inverted siphon rainwater box culvert and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] When constructing stormwater culverts during urban road excavation, there may be a conflict between the newly built culvert 4 and the existing sewage pipe 3. To prevent the existing sewage pipe 3 from directly passing through the culvert 4 and to ensure that the cross-sectional area of ​​the culvert 4 is not affected, the existing sewage pipe 3 can be bypassed by setting up an inverted siphon 1 (e.g., Figure 1 , Figure 2 (As shown). There are two traditional methods for constructing an inverted siphon 1. One method involves excavating first, then constructing the inverted siphon 1, backfilling to the bottom elevation of the box culvert 4, and finally constructing the box culvert 4. This method requires a larger excavation width to ensure sufficient working space during the construction of the box culvert 4, significantly impacting road traffic. Furthermore, since the inverted siphon 1 needs to bypass the box culvert 4 from below, it must strictly adhere to the sequence of backfilling the inverted siphon before constructing the box culvert, resulting in a longer construction period. The second method involves first pouring the box culvert 4 and completing the backfilling, then using a pipe jacking machine 5 to jack the pipes at the bottom of the box culvert, and finally pouring the inverted siphon (as shown). Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this construction method can reduce the width of the excavation required at the same time to a certain extent and reduce the impact on road traffic. However, pipe jacking construction is difficult, has high requirements for technology and machinery, and is limited by natural factors such as geological conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention discloses an inverted siphon stormwater culvert and its construction method. While shortening the construction period, it first constructs the second precast section and ensures the stability of the second precast section before constructing the first precast section. This allows the second precast section to provide stable support for the first precast section, ensuring the stability of the culvert structure. Furthermore, the integrated design of the culvert body and the first precast section avoids gaps between the culvert body and the culvert body, minimizing the width of the overall structure, reducing the excavation area of ​​the foundation pit, and reducing the impact on road traffic.

[0004] This invention discloses an inverted siphon stormwater culvert, comprising a culvert body that intersects with an existing sewage pipeline and an inverted siphon for cutting off and guiding the existing sewage pipeline around the culvert body. The inverted siphon includes a pair of shafts and a connecting pipe. The pair of shafts includes a pair of first prefabricated sections located on opposite sides of the culvert body and forming an integrated prefabricated structure with the culvert body, and a pair of second prefabricated sections respectively connected and fixed below the pair of first prefabricated sections. The pair of first prefabricated sections are respectively connected to two breaks in the existing sewage pipeline, and the connecting pipe is located below the culvert body and connects between the pair of second prefabricated sections.

[0005] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a cushion layer placed between the second precast section and the bottom surface of the foundation pit.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a pipe seat fixed to the bottom of the pit and used to support the connecting pipe.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that the top surface of the first prefabricated section is at the same elevation as the top surface of the box culvert body, and the pair of well shafts further includes a pair of third prefabricated sections respectively connected and fixed above the pair of first prefabricated sections.

[0008] The present invention discloses a construction method for an inverted siphon stormwater box culvert, comprising the following steps; S1. Excavate a foundation pit at the construction site and cut off the existing sewage pipes in the foundation pit that conflict with the position of the box culvert body. S2. Hoist a pair of the second prefabricated sections and place the pair of the second prefabricated sections at the bottom of the foundation pit; S3. Backfill soil around a pair of second precast sections and in the gap between a pair of second precast sections. During the backfilling process, connect the connecting pipe between a pair of second precast sections. S4. Hoist the integrated prefabricated structure and connect a pair of first prefabricated sections above a pair of second prefabricated sections to form a pair of well shafts; S5. Connect the pair of well shafts to the two breaks in the existing sewage pipe, and backfill the foundation pit.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that a pipe seat is provided for supporting the connecting pipe. Before performing step S3, the pipe seat is fixed to the bottom of the pit and located between a pair of second prefabricated sections. When connecting the connecting pipe between the pair of second prefabricated sections, the connecting pipe is first placed above the pipe seat, and then connected between the pair of second prefabricated sections with the support of the pipe seat.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that, in step S4, after the pair of the first prefabricated segments and the pair of the second prefabricated segments are joined together, water-stopping treatment is performed at the joint, and cement mortar is used to fill and grout the joint.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that, after performing step S1 and before performing step S2, foundation pit support is constructed around the foundation pit.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that, after performing step S4 and forming a pair of well shafts, the settlement of the foundation pit is continuously monitored, and step S5 is performed only after the settlement is confirmed to be stable.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that, when performing step S5 and further backfilling the foundation pit, the backfill is carried out in layers, and the compaction degree of each layer of backfill soil is checked during the layered backfilling process.

[0014] This invention shortens the construction period by constructing the second precast section first and ensuring its structural stability before constructing the first precast section. This allows the second precast section to provide stable support for the first precast section, ensuring the stability of the shaft structure. Furthermore, the integrated design of the box culvert body and the first precast section avoids gaps between the shaft and the box culvert body, minimizing the width of the overall structure, reducing the excavation area of ​​the foundation pit, and reducing the impact on road traffic.

[0018] Preferably, in this embodiment, a pair of second prefabricated sections 71 and a pair of first prefabricated sections 721 are each fixed with lifting rings for lifting by a truck crane.

[0019] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a cushion layer 9 placed between the second precast section and the bottom of the foundation pit.

When connecting the connecting pipe 2 between the pair of second prefabricated sections 71, the connecting pipe 2 is first placed on top of the pipe seat 8, and then connected between the pair of second prefabricated sections 71 with the support of the pipe seat 8.

[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, before constructing the second precast section 71, a cushion layer 9 is laid at the bottom of the foundation pit, below the second precast section 71, to further reduce the settlement at the bottom of the foundation pit caused by the construction of the well shaft.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, after the pair of first precast sections 72 and the pair of second precast sections 71 are joined together, water-stopping treatment is performed at the joint, and cement mortar is used to fill and grout the joint.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, before connecting the connecting pipe 2 to a pair of second prefabricated sections 71 in step S3, the connecting pipe 2 is first subjected to anti-corrosion treatment.

[0028] Preferably, after performing step S1 and before performing step S2, the foundation pit support is constructed around the foundation pit.

[0029] In this embodiment, the foundation pit support includes sheet piles 61, steel walers 62, and steel supports 63. During the construction of the foundation pit support, sheet piles 61 are driven into the perimeter of the foundation pit, and steel walers 62 are fixedly installed on the sheet piles 61. Multiple steel supports 63 spanning the foundation pit are fixed between the steel walers 62. Before backfilling the foundation pit, the above-mentioned foundation pit support is removed.

[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, after forming a pair of well shafts 7 in step S4, the settlement of the foundation pit is continuously monitored, and step S5 is executed only after the settlement is confirmed to be stable.

[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, after connecting the pair of well shafts 7 to the existing sewage pipe 3 in step S5, a rubber ring is used to seal the connection between the pair of well shafts 7 and the existing sewage pipe 3.

[0032] Preferably, the backfilling of the foundation pit is carried out in layers during step S5, and the compaction degree of each layer of backfill soil is checked during the layer backfilling process.
