Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of slope protection engineering, and in particular to a combined retaining wall of buttress panels and unloading plates and its internal force calculation method. Background Technology
[0002] Embankment slope engineering is a crucial sub-project in building construction, railway engineering, highway engineering, and water conservancy and port engineering. Commonly used support methods for embankment slope engineering include gravity retaining walls, cantilever retaining walls, buttress retaining walls, anchored plate retaining walls, and reinforced soil retaining walls. The height of gravity retaining walls should not exceed 8m, cantilever retaining walls should not exceed 6m, buttress retaining walls should not exceed 10m, anchored plate retaining walls should not exceed 8m per level, and reinforced soil retaining walls should not exceed 10m per level. For taller embankment slopes, the earth pressure acting on the retaining structure increases exponentially, and the above retaining wall methods become somewhat insufficient in terms of structural stress, construction difficulty, and cost. Furthermore, with the soaring land costs in large and medium-sized cities in my country, construction units have increasingly higher requirements for soil usability, with most requiring that slope support structures not occupy the embankment site or affect its use. Therefore, for high embankment slope projects, the structural form that effectively reduces the earth pressure on the retaining structure—the combined retaining wall of buttress board and unloading board—is an effective solution to reduce the difficulty and cost of engineering construction.
[0003] Unloading plate retaining walls are widely used in port construction projects in my country. The railway sector has conducted a series of studies since the 1960s, concluding that unloading plates use the backfill soil on the plate as gravity (counterweight) to resist overturning moments. Simultaneously, the unloading effect of the plate reduces the horizontal earth pressure acting on the back of the wall, saving materials and lowering costs. However, current building slope engineering codes do not include relevant provisions for unloading plates. Therefore, content on the calculation methods for earth pressure and internal forces in buttress + unloading plate combined retaining walls is essential. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention provides a combined retaining wall of buttress panels and unloading plates, comprising a base slab, a first vertical slab, a second vertical slab, buttress panels, and unloading plates, all of which are reinforced concrete structures. Backfill material is placed behind the retaining wall structure. The first vertical slab is positioned on the base slab, and the second vertical slab is positioned directly above the first vertical slab, overlapping with the buttress panels. The unloading plate is positioned between the first and second vertical slabs, forming an unloading and pressure-reducing platform. The unloading plate overlaps with adjacent buttress panels and the first and / or second vertical slabs. The base slab, first vertical slab, second vertical slab, and buttress panels form a triangle. The unloading plate is embedded at approximately the middle height of the retaining wall, and the ratio of the unloading plate length to the corresponding retaining wall segment length is between 1.2 and 1.5. The number of unloading plates can be determined based on the net height of the retaining wall.
[0006] Preferably, the buttress panel is a right-angled triangle.
[0007] Preferably, the backfill soil is permeable sand and gravel soil to prevent water from failing to drain behind the wall and causing instability of the retaining wall.
[0008] Furthermore, when the concrete strength of the first vertical slab and buttress slab reaches 75% or more of the design strength, backfill soil in layers and compact it to the design elevation of the bottom of the unloading slab; after leveling the plain concrete cushion layer, tie the unloading slab reinforcement, erect formwork, and pour concrete; complete the reinforcement binding and concrete pouring of the remaining vertical slabs and buttress slabs, backfill with sand and compact it to the design elevation of the backfill at the top of the wall.
[0009] This invention also provides a method for calculating the internal forces of a retaining wall composed of buttress panels and unloading plates.
[0010] The retaining wall composed of buttress panels and unloading plates includes a main structure and an auxiliary structure. The main structure is a buttress retaining wall, which includes a base plate, vertical plates, and buttress panels. The vertical plates include a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate, with the second vertical plate positioned directly above the first vertical plate. The auxiliary structure is an unloading plate.
[0011] The internal force calculation method includes:
[0012] (1) Calculate the horizontal earth pressure σ above the bottom of the unloading plate. a ;
[0013] (2) Calculate the horizontal earth pressure value in the unloading zone at the bottom of the unloading plate;
[0014] (3) Calculate the horizontal earth pressure unloading value ΔE per meter in the unloading zone. aX ;
[0015] (4) Calculate the horizontal earth pressure values at the remaining locations;
[0016] Calculated according to Equation 1, σ a =γzKa Formula 1
[0017] (5) Determine the distribution diagram of horizontal earth pressure on the back of the composite retaining wall;
[0018] (6) Calculate the standard value of shear force V of the main structure. kz and the standard value of bending moment M kz ;
[0019] (7) Calculate the internal forces of the auxiliary structure; the unloading plate of the auxiliary structure is simplified to the first rectangular plate element with three fixed ends and one free end. The upper part is subjected to the weight of the soil and its own weight. The calculation can be carried out in accordance with the relevant content of the "Handbook of Static Calculation of Building Structures" (Second Edition).
[0020] Furthermore, in step (1), the horizontal earth pressure value σ above the bottom of the unloading plate a The specific expression is:

[0027] δ is the internal friction angle of the backfill soil, α is the external friction angle between the backfill soil and the wall backing material, and α is the angle between the imaginary wall backing behind the retaining wall and the vertical plane.
[0028] Furthermore, the specific calculation process for step (2) is as follows:
[0029] Let point D be a point on the horizontal edge of the unloading plate. Then the formula for the horizontal earth pressure strength at point D is:
[0030] σ ad =γh1K a Formula 3
[0031] Where h1 represents the length of the second vertical plate;
[0032] Let point A be the junction between the bottom of the unloading slab and the buttress slab. Since the backfill above the unloading slab is entirely borne by the unloading slab, the formula for the horizontal earth pressure intensity at point A is σ. aa =0 Equation 4;
[0033] Draw a line from point D on the bottom edge of the unloading plate at an angle to the horizontal line of the bottom of the unloading plate. The straight lines θ and θ intersect the vertical plate at points B and C, respectively. θ is the internal friction angle of the backfill soil, and θ is the fracture angle of the backfill soil;
[0034] The formula for the horizontal earth pressure strength at intersection B is:
[0035] Where l represents the length of the unloading plate;
[0036] The formula for the horizontal earth pressure intensity at intersection C, without considering the unloading effect of the unloading plate, is: σ ac =γ(h1+ltanθ)K a Formula 6;
[0037] Furthermore, let point E be the intersection of the base plate and the vertical plate. Does the intersection point C, determined by ltanθ, exceed point E?
[0038] When intersection point C does not exceed the length of the vertical plate, the earth pressure distribution points under the unloading plate are in the order of ABCE, and the horizontal earth pressure intensity at point E is: σ ae =γ(h1+h2)K a Formula 7;
[0039] When the intersection point C exceeds the length range of the vertical plate, the earth pressure distribution points under the unloading plate are in the order ABE. The horizontal earth pressure intensity value at point E is obtained using the finite difference method.
[0040] Specifically, the horizontal earth pressure intensity value at point C calculated by Equation 6 and the horizontal earth pressure intensity value at point B calculated by Equation 5 are used to obtain the horizontal earth pressure intensity value σ at point E. ae Specifically:

[0042] Furthermore, in step (3), the unloading value ΔE of the horizontal earth pressure per meter in the unloading zone. ax The specific expression is:
[0043]
[0044] Where l represents the length of the unloading plate;
[0045] Furthermore, in step (5), the earth pressure intensity values of the control points (i.e., the earth pressure distribution points under the unloading plate) and their corresponding heights are plotted and connected in sequence to form a horizontal earth pressure distribution diagram of the combined retaining wall.
[0046] Furthermore, the specific calculation process for step (6) is as follows:

[0050] Where, σ ay The value is the earth pressure value corresponding to the upper y direction in the earth pressure distribution diagram in step (5).
[0051] Furthermore, the first upright plate, the second upright plate, and the buttress plate overlap, and the base plate, the first upright plate, the second upright plate, and the buttress plate form a triangle, wherein the lower end of the first upright plate, the upper end of the second upright plate, and the lower end of the buttress plate constitute the three vertices of the triangle.
[0052] Before calculating the internal forces, the retaining wall needs to be simplified. The simplification includes:
[0053] The unloading plate in the retaining wall is simplified as a first rectangular plate unit with three fixed ends and one free end. The three fixed ends include the upper end of the first vertical plate, the lower end of the second vertical plate, and the corresponding buttress plate end.

It is also applicable to high embankment slope engineering. Attached Figure Description

[0117] Example
[0118] The fill height of a certain project is approximately 18.5m. The foundation is moderately weathered slate. The backfill soil behind the wall is well-graded sand and gravel with a unit weight γ of 19kN / m3, a cohesion c of 0kPa, and an internal friction angle of... The angle is 30°, and the overload at the top of the wall is considered as an equivalent uniformly distributed load, with q = 20 kPa. The retaining wall adopts a combination of buttress slabs and unloading slabs, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0119] The retaining wall has a total height of 20.5m, a base slab thickness of 2m, a vertical slab height of 18.5m, a buttress spacing of 4m, and a buttress thickness of 0.6m. Various combinations of load-bearing plate embedment depth and length were created. Analysis revealed the optimal combination for load-bearing effect: the embedment depth of the load-bearing plates is approximately at the midpoint of the retaining wall, and the ratio of the load-bearing plate length to the corresponding retaining wall section length is between 1.2 and 1.5. Considering the net height of the retaining wall is 18.5m, two load-bearing plates are installed, located 5.5m and 11.5m below the top of the wall, with lengths of 4m and 4.5m respectively.
[0120] The retaining wall composed of buttress plate and unloading plate includes a main structure and an auxiliary structure. The main structure is a buttress retaining wall, which includes a base plate 1, a vertical plate 20 and a buttress plate 4. The vertical plate 20 includes at least one first vertical plate 2 and a second vertical plate 3, with the second vertical plate 3 located directly above the first vertical plate 2. The auxiliary structure is an unloading plate 5.
[0121] The main load-bearing component of the composite retaining wall is the buttress retaining wall, which can be regarded as a cantilevered variable cross-section T-beam fixed on the base plate 1, and its calculation unit width is 4m.

[0124] The distance from the bottom edge of the unloading plate to the wall point at an angle θ is ltanθ = 6.93m. Since 6.93m exceeds the height of the second wall section by 6m, the earth pressure intensity at this location needs to be calculated by taking the earth pressure intensity at the 6.93m position and then using the difference method to obtain the specific value of 64.78kPa.
[0125] The unloading value of the first unloading plate is ΔE. ax =183.32 kPa / m.
[0126] Calculation of unloading range and earth pressure at the bottom of the second unloading plate:
[0127] The line connecting the bottom edge of the unloading plate forms The distance from the wall point to the bottom of the unloading plate is Its corresponding horizontal earth pressure value is
[0128] The distance from the bottom edge of the unloading plate to the wall point at an angle θ is ltanθ = 7.79m. Since 7.79m exceeds the height of the third wall section by 7m, the earth pressure intensity at this location needs to be calculated by taking the earth pressure intensity at the 7.79m position and then using the difference method to obtain the specific value of 123.50kPa.
[0129] The unloading value of the second unloading plate is ΔE. ax = 343.32 kPa / m.
[0130] By plotting the earth pressure intensity values of control points against their corresponding heights and connecting them in sequence, a horizontal earth pressure distribution diagram of the combined retaining wall is formed. The distribution of horizontal earth pressure acting on the back of the retaining wall is shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown, it is compared with a buttress retaining wall of the same height.
[0131] Integrate based on the horizontal earth pressure distribution diagram.
[0132] Standard value of shear force V acting on the section at a distance z from the top of the wall of the main structure kz for:
[0133] The standard value of the bending moment M acting on the section at a distance z from the top of the wall of the main structure kz for:
[0134] Calculate the standard value V of the action on the retaining wall. kz like Figure 6 As shown.
[0135] The standard value of the bending moment M on the retaining wall was calculated. kz like Figure 7 As shown.
[0136] from Figure 6-7 As can be seen, the earth pressure of the composite retaining wall is much smaller than that of the buttress retaining wall. The maximum shear force of the composite retaining wall with unloading plate is only 71.46% of that of the buttress retaining wall, and the maximum bending moment of the composite retaining wall is only 73.99% of that of the buttress retaining wall.
