AI Technical Summary
In the construction of existing deep-water foundations for bridges, conventional cofferdams are complex in structure, require a large amount of materials, and are difficult to construct under complex geological conditions. In particular, the complex arrangement of bored piles for bridge foundations makes it difficult to arrange the internal supports of the cofferdam.
The double-walled steel cofferdam with a boot-shaped cross-section includes an outer wall panel, an inner wall panel, a partition plate, and an enlarged foundation. It is anchored to the riverbed surface through anchoring components. Combining the structural characteristics of the double-walled steel cofferdam and retaining wall, the internal support structure is reduced. The cofferdam itself has strength and rigidity, and the spliced segments are connected by steel interlocking joints.
It simplifies the construction process, reduces material usage, and improves the convenience and stability of construction, making it suitable for deep-water foundation construction of bridges under complex geological conditions.

[0035] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a boot-shaped cross-section double-walled steel cofferdam, which includes multiple splicing segments 1. The shape of the double-walled steel cofferdam can be various; for example, it can be circular or square. When it is circular, the splicing segments 1 form a fan-shaped ring; when it is square, four of the splicing segments 1 are right-angled, and the remaining splicing segments 1 are straight lines, as shown in the example. Figure 1Multiple splicing segments 1 are spliced together to form a double-walled steel cofferdam; wherein, splicing segment 1 includes an outer wall panel 2, an inner wall panel 3, several partition plates 4, an enlarged foundation 5, and anchoring components 6. The inner wall panel 3 is arranged alternately with the outer wall panel 2. The cofferdam wall panels of the double-walled steel cofferdam include the inner wall panel 3, the outer wall panel 2, and the partition plates 4, etc.; several partition plates 4 are arranged alternately between the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3, and the two ends of the partition plates 4 are connected to the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3 respectively, so that in two adjacent partitions The space is enclosed by the partition plate 4, the outer wall plate 2, and the inner wall plate 3; the enlarged foundation 5 is located in the space enclosed by the partition plate 4, the outer wall plate 2, and the inner wall plate 3, and the cross section of the splicing segment 1 is boot-shaped. The enlarged foundation 5 is made of concrete. One end of the anchoring component 6 is connected between the outer wall plate 2 and the inner wall plate 3, and the other end passes through the enlarged foundation 5 and is used to anchor to the riverbed. The purpose of setting the anchoring component 6 is to improve the stability of the cofferdam structure and meet the stress requirements.
[0037] The double-walled steel cofferdam provided in this application has a boot-shaped cross-section. The cofferdam wall panel, which consists of inner wall panel 3, outer wall panel 2, and partition plate 4, transfers the load to the enlarged foundation 5 through the bonding force formed between the enlarged foundation 5 and the cofferdam wall panel.
[0038] The double-walled steel cofferdam provided in this application adopts a boot shape and is filled with an enlarged foundation 5. It fully combines the structural characteristics of the double-walled steel cofferdam and the retaining wall, makes full use of the cofferdam's own strength, rigidity and stability, eliminates the conventional complex internal support structure, reduces the amount of material used, and is simpler and more convenient to construct than conventional cofferdams. It can also be reused.
[0039] To make the double-arm steel cofferdam boot-shaped, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall panel 3 includes an upper inner wall panel 30 and an lower inner wall panel 31 arranged vertically, and the distance from the lower inner wall panel 31 to the outer wall panel 2 is greater than the distance from the upper inner wall panel 30 to the outer wall panel 2; the enlarged foundation 5 is located between the outer wall panel 2 and the lower inner wall panel 31, and the bottom of the upper inner wall panel 30 is located inside the enlarged foundation 5.
[0040] Since the distance from the inner lower wall panel 31 to the outer wall panel 2 is greater than the distance from the inner upper wall panel 30 to the outer wall panel 2, after arranging the partition plate 4 between the outer wall panel 2 and the inner lower wall panel 31, the enlarged foundation 5 can be poured to form a boot shape.
[0041] To ensure greater stability during cofferdam installation, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the enlarged foundation 5 also includes a bottom truss 7, with its two ends connected to the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3, respectively. The bottom truss 15 is welded between the outer wall panel 2 and the inner lower wall panel 31 to make the cofferdam installation more stable and can also serve as a tie rod during the concrete construction of the enlarged foundation 5.
[0042] See Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the anchoring assembly 6 includes an anchor beam 60, an anchor cable 61, and a guide tube 62. The guide tube 62 passes through the enlarged foundation 5. The anchor beam 60 is located above the enlarged foundation 5, and its two ends are connected to the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3, respectively. One end of the anchor cable 61 is connected to the anchor beam 60, and the other end passes through the guide tube 62 and exits the enlarged foundation 5.
[0043] The bottom of the guide pipe 62 reserved in the cofferdam should be connected to the riverbed surface, and the guide pipe 62 should be fixed to the outer wall plate 2 or the inner wall plate 3 during the processing of the splicing segment 1. Figure 6 As shown, the guide pipe 62 is fixed to the outer wall panel 2 or the inner wall panel 3 by a limiting member 8, which can be a connecting steel bar. After the cofferdam wall panels are installed in place, concrete for the enlarged foundation 5 is poured between two adjacent partition plates 4 at the bottom of the cofferdam wall panels. After the cofferdam wall panels are installed and the enlarged foundation 5 is constructed, the anchor cable 61 is tensioned to the design preload and anchored to the anchor beam 60 using jacks.
[0044] To achieve the splicing of multiple segments into a double-walled steel cofferdam, see [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, two adjacent splicing segments 1 are connected by a steel locking lug 9. See details... Figure 7 As shown, the steel lock 9 includes multiple limiting plates 90 and steel sections 91. The multiple limiting plates 90 are welded to the partition plates 4 of two adjacent splicing sections 1 to form a limiting space, and the steel sections 91 are inserted into the limiting space.
[0045] The various splicing segments 1 of the cofferdam are connected by steel locking joints 9. The limiting plate 90 is welded to the partition plate 4 during the processing of the cofferdam wall panels. The steel 91 can be inserted into the design position after the cofferdam is installed.
[0046] See Figure 5 As shown, the diaphragm plate 4 has a boot-shaped structure with an opening 40 at the top to reduce the amount of material used in the cofferdam structure.
[0047] See Figure 3 As shown, in order to enhance the stability of the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3, a number of connecting systems 10 are provided between the outer wall panel 2 and the inner wall panel 3.
