Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel construction, and in particular relates to an upper foundation pit-lower tunnel combined construction structure and a construction method in a saturated soft loess stratum. Background Art

[0002] During dewatering construction of saturated soft loess, in addition to the effect of water pressure in the water and soil pressure on the support structure, the most important problem is that the foundation pit is unstable due to water and sand gushing, seepage damage (sand flow, sudden gushing, and piping), and soil erosion, resulting in ground collapse. Drainage consolidation also produces large compression deformation, which can easily lead to large additional settlement of the surface and surrounding buildings, and the rate of occurrence is relatively fast. At the same time, tunnel excavation at the bottom of the foundation pit will further cause surrounding ground settlement and surrounding rock instability, leading to damage to the upper foundation pit and tunnel support structure. During the construction process, improper control of the water head difference between the inside and outside of the foundation pit can easily cause foundation pit water gushing, collapse, and base uplift.

[0003] Currently, the main prevention and control measures are: through the selection of reasonable groundwater control to prevent the adverse effects of groundwater on the safety of the foundation pit and the surrounding environment, to ensure the normal construction of the foundation pit and underground engineering, and at the same time, to strengthen the tunnel support structure of the lower excavation to ensure safety during construction while reducing the impact on the foundation pit and the surrounding surface. In the case of upper foundation pit and lower tunnel, the tunnel and foundation pit have higher deformation requirements. Therefore, the tunnel excavation and support should be constructed using methods that have less impact on the upper foundation pit. At the same time, the tunnel support structure of the lower excavation should be advanced to ensure safety during construction while reducing the impact on the foundation pit and the surrounding surface.

[0004] Common dewatering methods currently include: ① Open ditch with catchment well. During high water levels, this method is often used as a supplementary drainage measure to other dewatering methods, primarily draining groundwater, construction water, and rainwater. ② Light wellpoints, which can be arranged in single, double, or circular patterns. ③ Jet wellpoints, which dewater to a greater depth. ④ Electroosmosis wellpoints, which effectively extract water from fine-grained soils, require integration with light or jet wellpoints, but are more cumbersome. ⑤ Tube wellpoints, suitable for gravel layers with high permeability and abundant groundwater. ⑥ Deep wellpoints, offering high drainage capacity and a wide dewatering depth and range, can be deployed both within and outside the foundation pit, or combined with other wellpoint systems. ⑦ Combined wellpoints, used in certain hydrogeological conditions or projects with special requirements where a single wellpoint dewatering method is insufficient to achieve satisfactory results. Prior to dewatering, a waterstop curtain can be constructed to block groundwater infiltration, combined with dewatering wells to ensure effective dewatering. Existing technologies often consider foundation pit construction or tunnel construction separately, failing to achieve a coordinated foundation pit-tunnel approach. This leads to deficiencies in construction cost control, construction safety assurance, and construction organization and implementation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a combined construction structure and construction method of an upper foundation pit and a lower tunnel in a saturated soft loess stratum, which can ensure that in a saturated soft loess stratum, when there is a foundation pit above and a tunnel is excavated below, the surface settlement and the head difference between the inside and outside of the foundation pit bottom can be controlled, the impact on surrounding buildings can be reduced, the deformation and internal force of the tunnel support structure can be reduced, the mutual influence between the foundation pit and the tunnel during construction can be reduced, the deformation and internal force of the two can be reduced as much as possible to avoid damage to the support structure, and the safety and reliability of the foundation pit and tunnel support structures can be improved.

[0080] 9.5. At the designed advance, excavate the first core rock mass ⑦ and the second core rock mass ⑧ in the middle of the tunnel section 10 to the left to form a connecting passage 12. Simultaneously, use fiberglass anchors to advance support the right pilot pit in the direction of the short mileage and excavate.

[0081] 9.6. After excavation is completed, repeat step 9.3 to complete the initial support;

[0082] 9.7. Use fiberglass anchors to pre-support the left pilot pit of tunnel section 10 on the left side of connecting passage 12. Excavate the first left pilot pit ① and the second left pilot pit ③ of tunnel section 10.

Grid steel frames and steel mesh are installed and welded together. After completion, concrete is sprayed again to form a "sprayed anchor mesh" support.

[0087] Step 10: Backfill the foundation pit 17.

[0088] In step 2.7 of step 2, the underwater concrete inside the pile hole is poured using the mud-submerged vertical pipe method.

[0089] In step 3.1.3 of step 3, the water-cement ratio of the cement slurry used is 1:1.

[0090] Step 5: Trim as described in Steps 5.3 and 5.6, trimming one side to the designed elevation every 1m.

[0091] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0092] 1. The construction method of the present invention first constructs cast-in-place piles 2 and rotary jet piles on site, and forms a rotary jet pile water-stop curtain 1 through the rotary jet piles to intercept the groundwater outside the foundation pit 17 and separate the groundwater inside and outside the foundation pit 17, thereby ensuring the reliability and sustainability of subsequent precipitation; the water-stop curtain is composed of rotary jet piles, which are divided into two rows, and the adjacent piles are interlocked with each other by 100 to 120 mm. The purpose is to reduce water infiltration through the interlocking of the rotary jet piles, thereby enhancing the water-stopping effect, and at the same time, in conjunction with the precipitation wells inside and outside the pit, the groundwater can be effectively controlled.

[0093] 2. After the construction of the water-stop curtain is completed, an outside-pit dewatering well 4 is driven outside the water-stop curtain to carry out outside-pit dewatering. After the outside-pit dewatering is completed, the foundation pit 17 is excavated in stages. After each stage of excavation, support and reinforcement are carried out. The bottom of the foundation pit 17 is reinforced with geogrids to cope with base uplift and water and sand gushing, etc., and the reinforcement and dewatering effects are good.

[0094] 3. After the reinforcement is completed, a vertical shaft is excavated inside the foundation pit 17 to the same depth as the tunnel below, and a cross passage is excavated into the tunnel body to the inside of the tunnel. The tunnel main line is turned into the vertical shaft, and the core rock and soil are retained. Pilot pits on both sides are excavated first, and glass fiber anchor rods are used for advance support. After the excavation and support on both sides are completed, the core rock and soil are excavated and supported. This can effectively control the deformation of the tunnel section 10, reduce the impact on the foundation pit 17, and thus ensure construction safety and reduce the impact between the foundation pit 17 and the tunnel.

[0182] Step 10: Backfill the foundation pit 17.

[0183] The present invention is well adapted to the conditions of a foundation pit and tunnel on saturated soft loess. The upper foundation pit 17 combines a water-stop curtain with drainage wells inside and outside the pit. The water-stop curtain is composed of jet grouting piles, which are arranged in two rows, with one row outside the support piles and one row between the support piles. Adjacent jet grouting piles are interlocked, which can better intercept groundwater. At the same time, combined with the drainage wells inside and outside the pit, groundwater can be effectively controlled. The foundation pit 17 is excavated in stages, and support reinforcement is carried out after each stage of excavation. The bottom of the foundation pit 17 is reinforced with geogrids to cope with base uplift and water and sand gushing, achieving good reinforcement and drainage effects. The tunnel main line is transferred through the vertical shaft, and the core rock and soil are retained. The pilot pits on both sides are excavated first, and glass fiber anchor rods are used for advance support. After the excavation and support on both sides are completed, the core rock and soil are excavated and supported. This can effectively control the deformation of the tunnel section 10, reduce the impact on the foundation pit 17, and thus ensure construction safety and reduce the mutual impact between the foundation pit 17 and the tunnel.
