Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering construction, in particular to a dam calcareous cemented sand and gravel deep foundation pit excavation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the water conservancy and hydropower engineering construction, in the dam foundation pit or downstream apron foundation pit excavation, the foundation pit needs to be excavated to the design rock elevation position of the foundation surface. In the original river channel, under the long-term action of natural factors, pebbles or gravels and minerals with cementing effect, such as calcium, iron and silicon, are condensed into calcareous cemented bodies with certain strength through physical and chemical changes.

[0003] In the foundation pit excavation, the thick calcareous cemented sand and gravel layer above the rock layer needs to be excavated. Since the calcareous cemented sand and gravel is tightly combined, it cannot be directly excavated by the excavator, and it can only be excavated by the hydraulic hammer, which can only remove a little at a time. Compared with the deep foundation pit excavation of large amount of calcareous cemented stone, the efficiency is low and the construction progress is slow.

[0004] If the drilling and blasting method is directly used, since there are gaps between the cemented stones, when drilling to a certain depth, the wind at the drill bit position will leak out from the gaps between the cemented stones, and the dross cannot be blown out along the drill rod. In addition, some calcareous cemented sand and gravel contains large boulders, and when drilling to a certain depth, the drill will be repeatedly stuck. At this time, the drilling efficiency is greatly reduced. Even if blasting is carried out at this time, due to the large gap between the calcareous cement, a part of the energy will leak out from the gap at the moment of detonation, and the effect of shaped charge blasting cannot be achieved.

[0005] How to use an innovative method to improve the drilling speed and overall blasting excavation efficiency is a problem that water conservancy and hydropower engineering technicians need to solve. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to provide a dam calcareous cemented sand and gravel deep foundation pit excavation method which reduces the difficulty of drilling, improves the blasting efficiency, and solves the problems of difficult direct excavation or removal of calcareous cemented sand and gravel layer and easy leakage of drilling blasting energy.

[0011] Step 4) after a certain number of holes are drilled, start grouting each hole through external equipment and flower pipe, the grouting material is water, cement and sand, the cement is slag portland cement, the sand is fine sand or silt with a fineness modulus less than 2.2, the ratio of cement and silt is cement: silt = 1:1~1:4 by weight, the ratio of water and dry material for mixing slurry is water: dry material = 6:1~1:1 by weight, the grouting pressure is 0.3~0.5MP, the slurry concentration gradually changes from dilute to thick during grouting, the ratio is adjusted in real time according to the slurry condition and grouting pressure; under the preset pressure, the grouting pressure of the grouting hole gradually increases, and finally hovers at a high value, the slurry and back slurry are balanced, and the slurry surface in the slurry tank for stirring slurry no longer falls, and the grouting is finished;

[0012] Step 5) after standing for a certain time, according to the number and preset drilling sequence, secondary drilling is carried out at the original marked hole position, the drilling depth exceeds the drilling depth of the first drilling, and the drilling is stopped when the preset depth or serious jamming cannot continue drilling, the drill bit is lifted and the lower flower pipe is inserted;

[0013] Step 6) for the holes that do not reach the final depth data of the marked drilling, continue grouting according to the method of step 4); repeat steps 5) and 6) until the drilling depth reaches the final depth data;

[0014] Step 7) when all the holes reach the designed final depth data, charge and blast.

[0015] As described above, in step 2), the same row spacing of the hole layout is 2m-3m, and the row spacing is 1.4m-2m.

[0016] As described above, in step 3), during the first drilling, the drilling direction is inclined upstream by 80°-90°, the preset first stroke is 1m-1.5m, and the flower pipe material is PVC material.

[0017] As described above, the drill used for drilling is a full pneumatic down-the-hole drill.

[0018] As described above, in step 6, the number of times of repeating steps 5) and 6) is 2-4 times.

[0019] As described above, in step 7), the explosive is selected as emulsified explosive, the layered interval charging is adopted, the bamboo sheet is used for guiding, the length of the hole blocking should be greater than the minimum resistance shoe, the area of not less than one third of the blast hole depth is filled with fine soil or sand, the non-electric section initiation system is adopted, and the millisecond thunder micro-difference initiation is adopted.

[0020] As described above, in step 1), the slope is excavated, and the protection is simultaneously completed.

Since the cemented stones have high cementing strength and cannot be directly excavated by the excavator, if the hydraulic hammer is used for chiseling, only a little can be chiseled each time, and the progress cannot meet the requirements for large amount of calcareous cemented stone deep foundation pit excavation, and the method can improve the construction progress and save the cost.

[0026] 2. The drilling is carried out at an inclined angle, and when grouting, the slurry can flow out along the flower pipe hole by gravity to fully fill the pores distributed near the flower pipe hole.

[0027] 3. After drilling and before grouting, the flower pipe is inserted into the drilling hole and the hole is sealed, which can prevent the collapse of the broken slag caused by long time standing of the drill bit after being lifted to block the drilling hole.

[0028] 4. The proportion of grouting is adjusted step by step according to the actual situation to adapt to the site situation and achieve good grouting effect.

[0029] 5. The end of grouting depends on the monitoring of multiple indexes such as grouting pressure, balance state maintenance and slurry height maintenance, which can accurately judge whether the grouting degree is sufficient and whether the gaps are fully grouted.

[0030] 6. The drilling and grouting can be performed crosswise to improve efficiency.

[0031] 7. The method has higher construction efficiency than the traditional hydraulic hammer excavation method, and has lower cost than the method of simultaneously using multiple hydraulic hammers.

[0032] 8. The method using drilling and grouting reduces noise and dust pollution, and achieves the effect of green and environmentally-friendly construction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
