Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering technology and relates to a device and operation method for reinforcing weak interlayers in rock mass joints, which is applicable to the reinforcement of weak interlayers in rock mass joints. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering, ensuring rock mass stability is paramount, particularly the stability of infill joints. Infill joints, especially those containing weak interlayers, are most susceptible to shear failure. The presence of weak interlayers in infill joints frequently leads to accidents and severe loss of life and property in actual engineering projects. Therefore, reinforcing the weak interlayers within infill joints to enhance the overall stability of the rock mass is crucial. Common reinforcement methods in practical engineering include grouting and anchor bolt support. Grouting is used when the rock mass is fragmented and joints are well-developed. Grout is injected into the rock voids and cements with the existing weak interlayers and rock mass. However, this method cannot adhere to the joint surface for reinforcement, resulting in poor reinforcement effectiveness. Anchor bolt support is used for fractured slopes or slope strata with weak strata. A certain number of anchor bolts are driven into the rock mass for reinforcement. This reinforcement method directly damages the original rock structure, potentially leading to the formation of new fissures or fissure expansion.

[0003] In summary, existing reinforcement methods cannot screen out coarse aggregates in the original weak interlayers and use them to reinforce the joints, cannot conform to the undulating joint surface for grouting reinforcement, and cannot fully mix the reinforcing agent and aggregates in the grouting reinforcement process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing reinforcement methods, which are unable to remove existing weak interlayers in the rock mass joints, cannot grout to reinforce the joints of undulating rock masses, and cannot screen and recycle the coarse aggregate in the existing weak interlayers for reinforcement, this invention provides a device and operating method for reinforcing weak interlayers in rock mass joints. This device effectively overcomes the deficiencies of conventional reinforcement methods for weak interlayers in rock mass joints. It not only effectively solves the problems of difficulty in removing weak interlayers in the rock mass joints and difficulty in reinforcing them to the joints of undulating rock masses, but is also simple, easy to implement, and convenient to operate.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is:

The first grouting is sprayed from the rotary injection nozzle and mixed by the mixing fan blades. The second grouting is sprayed from the secondary pressure grouting nozzle. After completion, the system is covered with a reinforced sealing rear plate.

[0013] The base system includes a base chassis, a base guide rail, and a transmission pipe propulsion vehicle. The base chassis is installed on the ground, the base guide rail is installed on the base chassis, and the transmission pipe propulsion vehicle moves on the base guide rail to fix and advance the grouting transmission assembly pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the mesh size of the outer wall screening screen and the spiral blade screening screen can be changed according to the size of the aggregate paper towel to be screened, so as to better serve engineering practice;

[0015] Preferably, the climbing wheels in the climbing wheel support system are of a hook shape, which allows for better movement and climbing between rock fissures. The climbing wheel support springs in the climbing wheel support system are selected with greater rigidity to provide greater support force for the device.

[0016] Preferably, the stirring fan blades of the grouting system have a certain degree of elasticity, bending when in contact with rock and maintaining their original shape well when in contact with weak interlayers.

[0017] A method for reinforcing weak interlayers in jointed rock mass includes the following steps:

[0018] Step 1: Conduct a site survey to determine the specific location of the weak interlayer filling area that affects rock stability;

[0019] Step 2: Conduct measurement and exploration of specific jointed areas to obtain the corresponding physical and geometric parameters of the weak interlayers;

[0020] Step 3: Install the rock mass joint and weak interlayer reinforcement device on the leveled ground. The rock mass joint and weak interlayer reinforcement device includes a tunneling cutterhead system, a coarse aggregate screening and conveying system, a retaining system, a climbing wheel support system, a machine tool system, a grouting system, and a base system. The tunneling cutterhead system is installed at the front end of the machine tool system, and the coarse aggregate screening and conveying system is located behind the tunneling cutterhead system.

[0021] Step 4: Prepare cement grout. Select cement grout of appropriate strength according to project requirements and pressurize it in the pressurization unit to prepare for grouting.

[0022] Step 5: Before starting reinforcement, perform pre-spraying, spraying out some clean water, and switch to cement slurry after confirming that the pipeline is connected.

[0023] Step 6: After removing the surface portion of the weak interlayer of the rock mass filling joint, embed the device into the weak interlayer, install the closed back plate, and advance the device forward through the base system. The first grouting is rotary pressurized grouting, and the cement grout is mixed with the surrounding soil layer after being stirred by the blades.

[0024] Step 7: During the device's advance, the grouting transmission assembly pipe is continuously increased. After the device completes the first reinforcement and bursts out from the other end of the filling joint, the rotary grouter is quickly separated from the machine tool frame. The transmission pipe pusher moves to the right to make the rotary grouter re-submerge into the rock mass, and then a reinforcement sealing plate is installed at the outer end of the rock mass.

[0025] Step 8: After the initial setting of the first grouting, a second pressure grouting is performed to replenish the volume of shrinkage after the initial setting of the cement grout, to form a stronger bond with the rock interface and to further enhance the internal strength of the grout colloid.

[0026] Step 9: After the secondary grouting is completed, wait for the jointed reinforced rock mass to solidify completely to complete the reinforcement.

[0027] Step 10: Complete the rock joint reinforcement project and dismantle the device.

[0028] Preferably, the two grouting processes should be carried out through different nozzles. The first grouting is a rotary grouting process with multiple nozzles on the side, which can better bond the surrounding soil. The second grouting is a pressurized grouting process with the nozzle at the tail end, which can better complete the filling of the gaps left after the grouting transmission group exits and the initial setting of the cement.

Install one end of grouting transmission hose 6-7 on cement grout press 6-8, and assemble the other end with the connecting nozzle 6-6 and install it on the transmission pipe pusher 7-3. (11) After excavating the partially exposed weak interlayer 8 soil, embed the assembled machine tool into the soil, and then take a 4m long grouting transmission assembly pipe 6-5. Connect one end to the rotary grouter 6-1 and the other end to the connecting nozzle 6-6. Turn on the tunneling cutterhead system 1 and push the transmission pipe pusher 7-3 forward along the base guide rail 7-2 to advance the grouting transmission assembly pipe 6-5 until the mixing fan blade 6-3 and the rotary grouter 6-1 are completely in the rock mass. Test spray the grout to confirm that the grouting system 6 pipeline is unobstructed, and then install the sealing back plate 6-10.

[0076] (12) After the device moves forward 20cm, the rotating spray nozzle 6-4 starts to rotate and spray plain concrete slurry. The grouting pressure gradually rises to 0.5MPa. The mixing fan blade 6-3 mixes the aggregate 11 and plain concrete slurry conveyed by the coarse aggregate screening and conveying system 2 to form the cementitious body 12 after the first grouting.

[0077] (13) When the device advances to a position of about 4m, the tunneling of the cutterhead system 1 and the grouting of the grouting system 6 are gradually stopped. After stopping, the connection between the first grouting transmission assembly pipe 6-5 and the connecting nozzle 6-6 is loosened.
