Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fixed gantry foundations for wharves, specifically relating to a gravity-type fixed gantry foundation structure for wharves and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional gravity-type block wharf fixed crane foundations use underwater cast-in-place concrete foundations. The side formwork for underwater concrete pouring uses steel formwork, and the formwork is fixed by tie rods and other methods. The formwork height is usually more than 5m.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN109183827A discloses a method for constructing underwater reinforced concrete foundations. Precast columns are fabricated on-site according to design requirements, with a central hole and a water injection hole in the cross-section. Intermediate columns are installed between the bottom and top layers, with identical joints, positioning steel plates, and connecting reinforcing bars at both ends. During pile driving, the drill bit in the central hole rotates, while water is injected into the remaining holes to drain grout, causing the piles to sink automatically until they reach the rock strata. A reinforced concrete sleeve is then fitted, and underwater concrete is poured to fix the pile group. A reinforced concrete platform is poured at the top of the pile group to facilitate joint operation. When splicing piles, positioning steel plates are used to connect the two piles at their joints, and the reinforcing bars of the upper and lower piles are welded together. Small zinc plate anodes are then attached, formwork is erected, and high-strength self-compacting micro-expansion mortar is poured. Its construction method does not require steel plate or steel cylinder waterstops, cofferdam waterstops, or capsule waterstops, nor does it involve drainage works; however, it is prone to formwork deformation or displacement during concrete pouring, which leads to loose joints between the formwork and the riprap foundation, ultimately resulting in underwater concrete leakage; moreover, its formwork fixing process is complex, requiring the cooperation of divers and a large amount of auxiliary materials, and underwater repair is difficult when formwork deformation or displacement occurs.

[0004] Chinese patent CN112942323A discloses a cast-in-place concrete foundation and system. The protruding end extends upward from the upper surface of the underwater foundation and penetrates the water surface to the surface above the water. The concrete pavement floats on the water surface and has a cast-in-place pile connector connected to the cast-in-place pile. Alternatively, the concrete pavement is supported on a composite support beam, and the cast-in-place pile is a grouting pile cast in place in the underwater foundation. The composite support beam is integrally cast at the protruding end of the underwater foundation. However, it still uses the traditional underwater cast-in-place concrete foundation method. The joint between the formwork and the riprap foundation bed is not tight, which ultimately leads to the unavoidable leakage of grout in the underwater concrete.

[0005] Therefore, in the construction process of traditional gravity block wharf fixed crane foundation, the formwork deforms or shifts during concrete pouring, leading to poor sealing at the joint between the formwork and the riprap foundation, and ultimately causing grout leakage in the underwater concrete. There is an urgent need to design a new wharf fixed crane foundation structure and its construction method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problem of underwater concrete leakage at the joint between the formwork and the riprap foundation caused by deformation or displacement of the formwork during concrete pouring in the construction of traditional gravity-type block wharf fixed crane foundations, this invention designs a gravity-type wharf fixed crane foundation structure and its construction method to solve the problem of underwater concrete leakage caused by formwork deformation or displacement during concrete pouring.

[0008] The small caisson assembly is installed on the riprap foundation;

[0009] Precast blocks are set on the riprap foundations on both sides of the small caisson group;

[0014] The bottom concrete layer is equipped with embedded steel bars;

[0015] The bottom concrete layer is connected to the top concrete layer by pre-embedded steel bars.

[0016] Preferably, the number of the small caissons is even.

[0017] Preferably, the number of small caissons is four, arranged in a grid pattern to form a small caisson group.

[0022] Step S2: Install precast blocks on the riprap foundations on both sides of the small caisson assembly;

[0023] Step S3: After the precast blocks are installed, place the pre-embedded steel bars in the small caisson and pour the bottom concrete layer.

[0024] Step S4: The small caissons are formed into a small caisson assembly by casting the top concrete layer on the pre-embedded steel bars.

[0025] Step S5: After the top concrete layer is poured, pour the breast walls on both sides.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom concrete layer and the top concrete layer in steps S3 and S4 can be constructed in layers or poured in one go.

[0027] The beneficial effects obtained by this invention are as follows:

[0028] 1. The present invention designs a gravity-type wharf fixed crane foundation structure, which replaces the traditional cast-in-place concrete fixed crane foundation with a prefabricated small caisson assembly.

This solves the problem of grout leakage caused by loose joints between the formwork and the riprap foundation, eliminates the safety risks associated with underwater operations by divers, accelerates the construction progress, greatly improves construction efficiency, and reduces safety risks.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This embodiment mainly introduces the foundation design of a gravity-type wharf fixed crane foundation structure, including a small caisson group 1, a riprap foundation bed 3, a precast block 4, a breast wall 2, and a top concrete layer 7.

[0045] The small caisson assembly 1 is installed on the riprap foundation bed 3;

[0046] Precast blocks 4 are set on the riprap foundation 3 on both sides of the small caisson group 1;

[0047] A breast wall 2 is provided on the prefabricated block 4;

[0048] The top concrete layer 7 is poured on top of the small caisson assembly 1.

[0049] Furthermore, the small caisson group 1 includes multiple small caissons 8, which are connected by a cast-in-place top concrete layer 7.

[0050] Furthermore, a bottom concrete layer 5 is provided inside the small caisson 8;

[0051] The bottom concrete layer 5 is provided with embedded steel bars 6;

[0052] The bottom concrete layer 5 is connected to the top concrete layer 7 by pre-embedded steel bars 6.

[0053] Furthermore, the number of the small caissons 8 is even.

[0054] Furthermore, the prefabricated block 4 at the top layer is connected to the breast wall 2 by steel bars.

[0055] This invention discloses a gravity-type wharf fixed crane foundation structure. By replacing the traditional cast-in-place concrete fixed crane foundation with a prefabricated caisson assembly, the caisson assemblies are hoisted after prefabrication. Then, the top concrete layer is poured, and the caisson assemblies are connected to the bottom concrete layer inside the caissons through pre-embedded steel bars, thus fixing the caisson assemblies together to form the caisson assembly crane foundation. Through the above design, this application eliminates the problem of grout leakage caused by deformation or displacement of the formwork during concrete pouring in the construction process of traditional gravity-type block wharf fixed crane foundations, which leads to poor sealing at the joint between the formwork and the riprap foundation.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] This embodiment mainly introduces an optimized design of a gravity-type wharf fixed crane foundation structure, including a small caisson group 1, a riprap foundation bed 3, precast blocks 4, a breast wall 2, and a top concrete layer 7;

[0058] The small caisson assembly 1 is installed on the riprap foundation bed 3;

[0059] Precast blocks 4 are set on the riprap foundation 3 on both sides of the small caisson group 1;

[0060] A breast wall 2 is provided on the prefabricated block 4;

[0061] The top concrete layer 7 is poured on top of the small caisson assembly 1.

[0062] Furthermore, the small caisson group 1 includes multiple small caissons 8, which are connected by a cast-in-place top concrete layer 7.

[0063] Furthermore, a bottom concrete layer 5 is provided inside the small caisson 8;

[0064] The bottom concrete layer 5 is provided with embedded steel bars 6;

[0065] The bottom concrete layer 5 is connected to the top concrete layer 7 by pre-embedded steel bars 6.

[0066] Furthermore, the prefabricated block 4 at the top layer is connected to the breast wall 2 by steel bars.

[0067] Furthermore, there are four small caissons 8 arranged in a grid pattern to form a small caisson group 1.

[0068] Furthermore, the bottom thickness of the small caisson 8 is 400mm and the wall thickness is 300mm.

[0069] Furthermore, the prefabricated block 4 has three layers, and the top prefabricated block 4 is connected to the breast wall 2 by steel bars.

[0070] Furthermore, to reduce the lifting weight, each of the four small caissons weighs approximately 50 tons, roughly the same as the weight of the precast blocks, and is installed on the rubble bed 3 using a 350-ton crawler crane.

[0071] Based on Example 1, this example controls the number of small caissons to 4 and arranges them in a grid pattern. The small caisson group is formed by connecting the pre-embedded steel bars inside the small caissons with the top concrete layer, and the weight is controlled to be the same as the weight of the precast blocks, thereby achieving the stability of the small caisson group.

[0075] Step S2: Install precast blocks 4 on the riprap foundation 3 on both sides of the small caisson group 1;

[0076] Step S3: After the precast blocks 4 are installed, place the pre-embedded steel bars 6 in the small caisson 8 and pour the bottom concrete layer 5.

[0077] Step S4: The small caisson 8 is formed into a small caisson assembly 1 by casting the top concrete layer 7 on the pre-embedded steel bars 6.

[0078] Step S5: After the top concrete layer 7 is poured, pour the breast walls 2 on both sides.

[0079] Furthermore, the bottom concrete layer 5 and the top concrete layer 7 in steps S3 and S4 can be constructed in layers or poured all at once.

[0080] This application presents a construction method for a gravity-type fixed crane foundation structure for a wharf. First, small caisson assemblies are placed on the riprap foundation of the wharf. Precast blocks are then installed on the riprap foundation on both sides of the small caisson assemblies. After the precast blocks are installed, embedded reinforcing bars are placed inside the small caissons, and a bottom concrete layer is poured. A top concrete layer is then poured on top of the embedded reinforcing bars to form a small caisson assembly. Finally, the breast walls on both sides are poured. This construction method allows the use of small caisson assemblies to replace the traditional cast-in-place concrete fixed crane foundation. It solves the problem of grout leakage caused by loose joints between the formwork and the riprap foundation, eliminates the safety risks associated with underwater operations by divers, accelerates construction progress, significantly improves construction efficiency, and reduces safety risks.
