Description

High-intensity roadmap for water resource adaptation systems to climate change Technical Field

[0001] The present invention provides a high-strength road system for adapting water resources to climate change, particularly a high-strength structural space system constructed underground, with various types of road pavements or permeable pavements or permeable materials constructed above the structural space, to provide a high-strength and high-load road surface that can withstand the heavy pressure of vehicles. Background Art

[0002] As cities continue to expand and develop, and with the massive construction of various man-made facilities, road area continues to increase, causing catchment areas to gradually lose their original water retention capacity, resulting in a significant increase in surface runoff. Traditional roads, due to their impermeability, cause a large amount of surface runoff, which is also one of the main causes of urban waterlogging. Coupled with the impact of climate change caused by global warming, urban areas are facing greater flood prevention pressure. In addition, traditional water management focuses on point and line water management, and the construction of various large and small reservoirs and drainage ditches and other facilities. Extreme climate often brings sudden and heavy rainfall. Traditional roads and drainage ditches are unable to cope with heavy rainfall, causing urban waterlogging. Large areas often accumulate water due to poor drainage, or even large-scale flooding. Traditional water management standards and road construction standards and concepts are no longer able to meet the needs of climate change.

[0003] Conventional roads block the natural circulation of water and air above and below the ground, creating an "ecological desert" lacking water and oxygen beneath the roads. To accommodate heavy traffic, conventional roads must have a compacted roadbed and drainage ditches installed. Consequently, the roadbed cannot hold or store water. Therefore, whether conventional roads are general roads, permeable paved roads, or high-traffic, high-occupancy roads, they must have a compacted roadbed and sealed roadbed to prevent rainwater from entering the roadbed or subgrade, thereby preventing the subgrade from becoming soaked, softened, collapsed, and sunken, potentially causing loss of life.

[0004] Therefore, traditional permeable pavement requires careful precautions against rainwater infiltration into the roadbed and subgrade. Rainwater infiltration into the subgrade is unacceptable, and drainage systems must be installed to remove it through gutters, failing to retain precious water resources. Therefore, a new type of road has been designed that is both permeable and has a high-strength underground water storage structure to achieve water conservation.

[0005] In terms of water permeability and underground water storage, traditional roads are not fully permeable or capable of storing water. They also cause large amounts of surface runoff, which is the main cause of urban waterlogging.

[0006] To combat global warming and reduce the environmental burden and its negative impacts, low-impact development technologies are being promoted. However, over the past two decades, these technologies have been questioned for their imperfections. In particular, flooding, drought, and high temperatures caused by global warming are sometimes exacerbated by extreme climate events. Low-impact development technologies are very expensive to maintain, and their greatest advantages and incentives lie in providing sustainable, cost-effective, and easy-to-maintain development. The sponge city concept is a new type of urban planning and construction that aims to build flood control and waterlogging prevention systems within cities while also providing ecological and environmental benefits. For example, permeable pavement replaces impermeable pavement, absorbing, storing, and seeping water during rain. Furthermore, underground water storage tanks are installed in parks and plazas to store water. In dry and hot climates, water vapor can be released to improve the heat island effect and prevent global warming. However, the methods and materials used in sponge city construction, including the permeable bricks and water storage functions of water buckets, are generally unable to withstand heavy pressure, nor are they permanently stable and reliably adaptable to earthquake shaking or damage from heavy vehicles on the ground. They can only be used on sidewalks, parks, and squares where heavy vehicles cannot reach, to prevent collapse caused by heavy vehicles and cause public security concerns. Drains still need to be installed on both sides of the road to drain surface rainwater. Therefore, urban drains are prone to environmental pollution, easy to clog, and difficult to maintain clean. Once the drain outlet is blocked by garbage, it also creates a visually unsightly appearance.

[0007] To this end, in response to the construction of various permeable paving facilities on the ground, in order to effectively store and reuse the rainwater introduced into the underground, a high-load road is designed that is connected in series above and below the ground and is more resistant to heavy pressure and can withstand repeated rolling of vehicles weighing tens or hundreds of tons. The main motivation of the present invention is to achieve a system template space that creates a water storage and drainage system by building a structural space above and below the ground.

[0008] Summary of the Invention

[0009] The primary purpose of this invention is to provide a high-strength road system for adapting to climate change water resources. The system features hollow units that are poured and solidified into an underground structural space. A permeable pavement, either conventional cement or asphalt, is laid above the space. The underground structural space can be buried underground for water storage and drainage, creating a kind of artificial roadbed underground reservoir that combines the functions of a river and a drainage ditch. After storing water, it effectively provides convenient on-site extraction and reuse, responding to the potential for heavy pressure from vehicles passing on the ground and erosion from heavy rain, thereby preventing floods and droughts. The high-load-bearing, high-strength underground structural space primarily features reinforced concrete support columns formed in the system's formwork to enhance the road's strength under high loads and heavy pressure, thereby preventing damage to the road from heavy vehicles.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength road system for water resource adaptation in response to climate change. The system can be used in roads, airports, parks, squares, and parking lots. The system is more resistant to heavy pressure and can withstand high-load pavement conditions such as repeated rolling of vehicles weighing tens or hundreds of tons. The system can also form a system template space water storage and drainage system that can build structural spaces both above and below the ground.

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the high-strength road designed by the present invention for the water resource adaptation system in response to climate change is provided with a hollow unit structural template, which is combined into an underground structural space through concrete slurry pouring and solidification, and then a pavement is laid above the underground structural space. The hollow unit is provided with at least one structural template and a plurality of side panels combined together; a plate is provided on the upper surface of the structural template, and a through hole and at least one through pipe are provided on the plate. After the structural template and the side panels are combined and laid, concrete slurry is poured into the through pipe of the structural template. After solidification, an underground structural space with high supporting strength is formed, which is a water resource adaptation road with a storage and drainage system.

[0012] In one embodiment, the hollow unit body is constructed by combining two upper and lower structural templates and four side panels. The upper and lower structural templates are provided with plates on the upper surfaces, and through holes and at least one through pipe are provided on the plates. Corresponding convex tenons and mortises are provided around the plates of the upper and lower structural templates, so that the upper and lower structural templates of two adjacent units can be mortised and spliced ​​together; the side panels are provided with through holes on the panels, and snap-on structures are provided at the side edges for the side panels to be quickly snapped and erected on the outside of the upper and lower structural templates to form a hollow body; concrete slurry is poured on the outside of the hollow unit body, and when the two upper and lower structural templates are aligned, the upper and lower side through pipes will be aligned to form a hollow template grouting pipe, and concrete slurry is poured into the hollow grouting pipe to form an underground structural space system with high supporting strength.

[0013] In another embodiment, the outside of the hollow unit is covered with non-woven fabric and backfilled with soil or concrete slurry.

[0014] The effective benefit of the present invention is that when heavy rainfall falls on the road surface, rainwater can be collected through various permeable pavements or permeable pipes and introduced into the ground, and then further stored in the high-strength structural template structure space buried underground. This not only effectively prevents the chance of surface flooding, but also serves to replenish groundwater resources, storing and recycling rainwater for subsequent reuse.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , the present invention comprises a hollow unit 30a formed by pouring and solidifying concrete slurry to form an underground structure 30, with a permeable pavement 10 laid above the structure. One type of permeable pavement 10, designed by the inventors earlier, features permeable pipes 10a or permeable holes drilled through them. This allows for rapid drainage of surface rainwater into the highly supportive underground structure's storage and drainage system.

[0032] Gravel gradation 20 is laid under the permeable pavement 10, which can quickly receive rainwater that seeps from the road surface through the permeable pavement 10 and enter the underground space 30 system equipment to prevent waterlogging.

[0033] 3, 4, and 4a, the hollow unit 30a of the present invention is composed of a structural formwork 31 and a plurality of side panels 32. The upper surface of the structural formwork 31 is provided with a plate 312, and the plate 312 is provided with a through hole 311 and at least one through pipe 33. The plate 312 is provided with a recessed portion 313. The structural formwork 31 and the side panels 32 are combined into a hollow unit. After being laid on the roadbed, concrete slurry is poured into the through pipe 33. After solidification, an underground structural space system with high supporting strength is formed.

[0034] 5, 5a, and 6, a plurality of corresponding tenons 317 and tenons 318 are further provided around the plate 312 of the structural template 31, so that the structural templates 31 of two adjacent hollow units are mortised and spliced ​​together.

[0035] Referring to Figure 3, the side panel 32 is provided with a through hole 321 to provide water entry from the side of the hollow unit body 30a. At the same time, the side edge position of the buckle groove 319 is provided corresponding to the structural template 31, which is provided with a snap-on structure. The snap-on structure in this figure is designed as a hook 322, which can allow the side panel 32 to be quickly snapped and mounted on the outside of the structural template 31 of each unit body 30a to form a hollow body structure.

[0036] Referring to Figure 7 , the structural formwork 31 comprises a central through-tube 33 and four hollow columns 314 disposed around the periphery of the through-tube 33. The through-tube 33 or hollow columns 314 are preferably designed with tapered inner walls. Side panels 32 are also provided at the ends of each hollow column 314 of the structural formwork 31 to provide a lining when facing an uneven or easily slumping bottom surface. As shown in Figure 13 , after being joined and fixed in place, the side panels 32 are further provided at the sides for overlapping and fastening.

[0037] 6, 8, and 9, when the present invention is assembled into a hollow unit body 30a, a through pipe 33 is provided on the structural template 31 to form a hollow template grouting pipe. Under the through pipe 33 or the hollow pipe column 314, a sand layer 21 is selectively laid as needed, and under the sand layer 21, a concrete layer 22 is selected as a base. The through pipe 33 of the hollow grouting pipe can also be used to place steel bars 34 as needed, as shown in FIG8, and the entire assembly of multiple hollow unit bodies 30a is grouting concrete in the through pipe 33. When concrete slurry is poured, it is integrally formed with a non-woven fabric 30b wrapped on the outside and then poured into the concrete slurry 302 along the through hole 301. Therefore, when the concrete solidifies, the concrete support column solidified in the hollow grouting pipe will solidify into a high-strength building, forming a column structure similar to the structure of a house; thus forming a building facility as strong as an underground reservoir, which is buried underground and is more resistant to the shaking impact of earthquakes and the crushing of large heavy vehicles without being damaged by road collapse, making it easy to maintain a flat road surface.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the interior of the hollow water storage unit 30a can be pre-pierced with a pipe 35 to facilitate the installation of related pipelines such as water supply, drainage, electric wires, telephone lines, and cable television optical fiber cables.

[0039] Referring to Figure 9 , the present invention comprises a hollow unit 30a formed by pouring and solidifying concrete slurry to form an underground space 30. A permeable pavement 10, typically made of cement or asphalt, is then laid above the water storage space. Pavement 10 is constructed using permeable asphalt. Rainwater not only seeps through the permeable pavement, but also collects and can be pumped out for reuse using pumping equipment 37, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0040] Referring to FIG10 , the drainage function of the structural space under the pavement of the present invention is planned according to drainage needs or any overflow hole 36 is set near the river side to connect the underground space 30 of the present invention with the river. When the rainwater seeping through the pavement reaches the overflow hole 36, it is directly discharged, serving the same function as a drainage ditch under the pavement.

[0041] 11 and 12 , another embodiment of the present invention is to increase the storage and drainage of high-strength structural space under the road surface. The hollow unit structural templates of this case are stacked up and down, so that the internal pipes 33 of the structural template 31 of the hollow unit 30a are connected in series to form a template channel for pouring concrete slurry. After pouring, the concrete solidifies into a concrete support column. The system template is still retained on the outside to protect the concrete support column from water erosion and to protect the concrete from oxidation and aging, thereby forming a high-strength groundwater resource adaptation structural space under a deeper and larger road.

[0042] As shown in FIG12 , the hollow unit body 30a in a different embodiment of the present invention is changed to be composed of two structural templates, including an upper structural template 31a and a lower structural template 31b, combined with four side panels 32. When assembled, the two upper structural templates 31a and the lower structural templates 31b with the same structure are stacked symmetrically in the upper and lower directions, and the four side panels 32 are buckled onto the edges of the upper structural templates 31a and the lower structural templates 31b to form a hollow body with a space.

[0043] The road surface designed by the present invention has a high-load, high-strength, pressure-resistant space under the road surface, while also providing a water storage and drainage system, thereby achieving a large-scale water storage and drainage effect in a relatively short period of time, preventing the occurrence of regional flooding and drought. It also allows rainwater to slowly infiltrate into the underground soil layer to replenish groundwater resources. In this way, it can achieve the functions of effectively and quickly draining water from the ground, recycling rainwater, and replenishing groundwater in a short period of time.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, the present invention has the following practical advantages:

[0045] 1. Provide a hollow, high-load, and high-strength underground space as a water storage and drainage disaster prevention system, similar to artificial underground reservoirs and waterway facilities. During the rainy season, it can automatically store water for disaster prevention. It can also provide environmental benefits such as repeated reuse and recycling of subsequent rainwater on the ground with simple pumping equipment, thereby achieving the effect of sufficient water storage and recycling rainwater resources for reuse.

[0046] 2. The underground structure space composed of a structural formwork not only has a high porosity and high support, but also has multiple characteristics such as light texture, small size and high reusability. It can make construction more convenient and faster, shorten the construction period, reduce costs, and also has environmental protection effects.

[0047] 3. Improving the incoordination between traditional roads and water conservancy construction, as well as disaster prevention and water resource adjustment, can better reduce the chances of floods and droughts, and the occurrence of public security incidents caused by the easy collapse of traditional roads.

[0048] 4. Improve surface runoff, reduce the chances of water and drought disasters, and at the same time replenish groundwater resources, which can not only achieve the purpose of water conservation in the base, but also create a truly effective sponge city ecological environment.

[0049] 5. It improves the shortcomings of traditional roads that require compacted roadbeds to block the natural circulation of water and air above and below the ground, and provides a facility that focuses more on disaster prevention and environmental ecology.

[0050] 6. Improve the traditional use of water resources and water management. Point-to-point water supply (such as reservoirs) has disadvantages such as difficulty in water supply, difficult maintenance, and high cost, while lines (such as drainage ditches) need to be frequently cleaned and maintained, and there are disadvantages in water management such as foul odor, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, etc. that cause environmental pollution.

[0051] In summary, the present invention is a high-strength road for the water resource adaptation system in response to climate change, which constructs an underground storage and drainage structure space that has both underground space and high-strength support for water resource adaptation and utilization. It has industrial utilization value and a patent application is filed in accordance with the law. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Therefore, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the invention description should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
