Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, and more specifically, it is a water-stopping structure for the structural joint of an earth-rock dam gallery. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of water conservancy and hydropower development in my country, many major rivers where water resource development bases are located face thick overburden layers, especially in western my country. The thick overburden layers of riverbeds are mostly characterized by large variations in distribution thickness, complex composition, and significant structural differences.

[0003] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, in order to shorten the construction period of earth-rock dams and facilitate the reinforcement of dam foundation seepage prevention and safety monitoring during operation, foundation galleries are usually set in the dam body of medium, high and above earth-rock dams. Structural joints are generally not set in the foundation galleries along the dam axis in the riverbed section. Structural joints are usually set near the boundary between bedrock and overburden to connect with the grouting adits on both banks. Near the boundary between bedrock and overburden, since the grouting adits on both banks are located in the bedrock, their own deformation is very small. The foundation galleries in the dam body undergo more complex triaxial deformation under the action of rockfill filling, overburden deformation and water pressure. The deformation morphology of the structural joints is complex and the dislocation is relatively large compared with the grouting adits on both banks. The water stop is easily damaged and leakage occurs, which affects the safe and stable operation of the project. The structural joints of the gallery are one of the main weak points of dam foundation seepage prevention.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a seepage-proof, safe, reliable, simple-designed, and easy-to-construct water-stopping structure that can be embedded in the structural joints of the foundation corridors on both banks of various earth-rock dams. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In the above technical solution, the contact surfaces between the structural joint and the grouting tunnel and the foundation corridor are all coated with asphalt.
