Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and in particular to a seepage prevention curtain structure that avoids karst caves filled with soil in karst areas. Background Technology

[0002] In water conservancy projects, dams are permanent water-retaining structures in water conservancy hubs. To ensure the safety of the structure itself and to prevent large amounts of water from seeping downstream through the dam foundation and the banks, anti-seepage grouting curtains are often installed. The grouting curtains are generally constructed inside the grouting tunnels. To prevent seepage around the dam, the grouting curtain and the grouting tunnels need to be extended a certain length into the mountainside.

[0003] In karst regions, the development of karst is controlled by lithology and closely related to geological structure. The formation of karst caves is unpredictable, and it's difficult to completely avoid them during building layout. Therefore, karst caves may be encountered during underground cavern construction, including grouting caves used to form anti-seepage curtains. The causes of karst cave formation are complex, and their scale and filling methods vary. Large-scale karst caves pose a significant threat to the construction safety of grouting caves and the operational stability of the curtain, necessitating treatment. The treatment method is highly dependent on the size, shape, and filling material properties of the karst cave. The relative position of the karst cave and the grouting cave sometimes greatly influences the treatment plan, even playing a decisive role. Especially when the karst cave has a large planar area and considerable depth, the treatment plan significantly impacts investment and construction period. However, the success of the treatment directly affects the success or failure of the anti-seepage project and even the entire key project. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a seepage-proof curtain structure for encountering karst caves filled with soil in karst areas, specifically employing the following technical solution:

[0005] The present invention describes a seepage-proof curtain structure for avoiding soil-filled karst caves in karst areas, comprising:

[0006] The system includes an upper grouting cave, a middle grouting cave, and a lower grouting cave located outside the karst cave in the backfill soil. The upper grouting cave is drilled downwards to form a first vertical curtain. The middle grouting cave is drilled upstream to form a first horizontal curtain and drilled downwards to form a second vertical curtain. The lower grouting cave is drilled around to form a second horizontal curtain or annular curtain and drilled downwards to form a third vertical curtain. The first horizontal curtain overlaps with the first vertical curtain, and the second horizontal curtain or annular curtain overlaps with the second vertical curtain.

[0007] The upper grouting hole is located above the karst cave in the filling soil, and the lower grouting hole is located below the karst cave in the filling soil. The middle grouting hole consists of an end section, a clearance section, and a transition section. The end section is coplanar with the corresponding upper and lower grouting holes. The clearance section is located on the downstream side of the karst cave in the filling soil. The transition section is used to connect the end section and the clearance section.

[0008] The end section, the avoidance section, and the transition section are set at the same height. The two end sections are set along the same line. The avoidance section is parallel to the end section. The line connecting the transition section and the end section is set at an angle of 45-60°.

[0009] The distance between the avoidance section and the end section is 8-10m, and the minimum distance between the tunnel wall of the avoidance section and the outline of the karst cave filled with soil is not less than 1 times the excavation width of the middle grouting tunnel.

[0010] Within the area of ​​the end section, the boreholes of the first and second vertical curtains are both inclined upwards at 5-7°, while the boreholes of the third vertical curtain are vertically downwards; the lower grouting hole grouts the surrounding boreholes to form a second horizontal curtain, and the horizontal and vertical lengths of the overlaps between the first vertical curtain and the first horizontal curtain, and between the second vertical curtain and the second horizontal curtain are both 5m.

[0011] Within the avoidance section, the boreholes of the first vertical curtain are inclined at 5-7° to the downstream side, the boreholes of the second vertical curtain are inclined at 5-7° to the upstream side, and the boreholes of the third vertical curtain are vertically downward; the first horizontal curtain extends into the soil of the filling karst cave, and the overlap length of the first vertical curtain through the first horizontal curtain is 5m; the lower grouting hole grouts the surrounding boreholes to form an annular curtain, and the length of the annular curtain is 10-15m, and the overlap length between it and the second vertical curtain is 5-10m.

[0012] Within the transition section, the boreholes of the first vertical curtain gradually transition from an upstream inclination of 5-7° to a downstream inclination of 5-7°, or vice versa, with the angle difference between adjacent boreholes not exceeding 0.5°; the boreholes of the second vertical curtain are inclined upstream at 5-7°, while the boreholes of the third vertical curtain are vertically downward; the horizontal and vertical lengths at the overlap between the first vertical curtain and the first horizontal curtain are both 5m; the lower grouting hole grouts the surrounding boreholes to form an annular curtain, and the length of the annular curtain is 10-15m, with an overlap length of 5-10m with the second vertical curtain.

[0013] The present invention provides a seepage-proof curtain structure for encountering karst caves filled with soil in karst areas. This structure is convenient to construct, has low investment, and a short construction period. It employs a three-layer grouting tunnel system, with the middle layer avoiding the karst caves, allowing all grouting tunnels to be constructed within the rock mass, thus improving construction safety. The curtain formed by drilling and grouting through these grouting tunnels within the rock mass has a uniform seepage-proof material and a single type, avoiding overlap between soil and rock seepage prevention and improving the seepage-proofing effect. Because the grouting tunnels and seepage-proof curtain avoid the karst caves, it is possible to avoid treating the cave filling material, reducing the adverse effects on construction caused by the uncertainty of the cave filling material.

[0023] Within the area of ​​transition section 23 (including the left and right sections), the boreholes of the first vertical curtain 4 in the left section gradually transition from an upward inclination of 5-7° to a downward inclination of 5-7°, and the boreholes of the first vertical curtain 4 in the right section gradually transition from a downward inclination of 5-7° to an upward inclination of 5-7°, with the angle difference between adjacent boreholes in each section not exceeding 0.5°; the boreholes of the second vertical curtain 6 in both the left and right sections are inclined upwards at 5-7°, while the boreholes of the third vertical curtain 8 are vertically downwards; the horizontal and vertical lengths at the overlap between the first vertical curtain 4 and the first horizontal curtain 5 are both 5m; the lower grouting hole 3 grouts around the surrounding boreholes to form an annular curtain 72, and the length of the annular curtain 72 is 10-15m, with an overlap length of 5-10m with the second vertical curtain 6.
