Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering construction technology, specifically to a rapid construction method for the adaptive deformation pre-assembly of waterproof and thermal insulation boards for tunnels in cold regions. Background Technology

[0002] As tunnel construction in my country gradually extends to cold regions with harsh climates, such as high latitudes and high altitudes, the number of tunnels in frigid areas will increase. Extensive experience in the construction and operation of numerous cold-region tunnels shows that defects caused by low temperatures are prevalent in existing highway and railway tunnels. Currently, the main defects faced by tunnels in high-altitude and cold regions include tunnel lining leakage, concrete spalling, cracking, and subsidence. These frost damage problems not only severely damage the structure itself but also significantly increase operation and maintenance costs, which is extremely detrimental to both safety and economy. Traditionally, insulation and waterproofing boards are installed using welding, but in high-altitude and cold regions, due to the influence of cold air, this method suffers from low construction efficiency, insecure installation, and welding strength failing to meet design requirements. To improve the construction efficiency of insulation boards for cold-region tunnels, enhance the frost protection effect of cold-region tunnels, and effectively solve the problem of tunnel frost damage, this invention proposes a rapid construction method for adaptive deformation pre-assembly of waterproof and insulation boards for cold-region tunnels. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to propose a rapid construction method for the self-adaptive deformation pre-assembly of waterproof and thermal insulation boards for tunnels in cold regions. This method can effectively improve the construction efficiency of thermal insulation boards for tunnels in cold regions, improve the tightness of the fit between the thermal insulation boards and the initial support of the tunnel, enhance the anti-freezing effect of tunnels in cold regions, and solve the problem of tunnel frost damage.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A rapid construction method for self-adaptive deformation pre-assembly of waterproof and thermal insulation boards for tunnels in cold regions includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. Inspect the flatness and cleanliness of the initial support structure;

[0007] S2. Apply waterproof coating to the surface of the insulation board and install self-adhesive strips and hot melt pads on the front and back of the insulation board.

[0008] S3. The insulation board is connected and assembled into a whole by means of deformable connecting groove, and a first waterproof board is applied to the back of the pre-assembled insulation board by means of self-adhesive strip and hot melt pad.

[0009] S4. Apply a waterproof membrane connecting strip on the free side of the initial support, and weld a second waterproof membrane on the waterproof membrane connecting strip.

[0010] S5. Use self-adhesive strips and hot melt pads to bond the front of the insulation board to the second waterproof board on the initial support side. Adjust the deformable connecting groove according to the shape of the tunnel cross section to make the insulation board and the connected second waterproof board fit tightly.

[0011] S6. After each process is completed, inspect and accept the installation of the insulation board and the second waterproof board in accordance with the design requirements.

[0012] Further, in step S1, the initial support flatness should satisfy D / L≤1 / 20, where D is the depth of the indentation between two adjacent convex surfaces of the initial support base, and L is the distance between two adjacent convex surfaces of the initial support base.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, three self-adhesive strips are respectively provided on the front and back of the insulation board, and two hot melt pads are provided on each self-adhesive strip.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the hot melt pad is bonded and fixed to the self-adhesive strip.

[0015] Further, in step S3, the deformable connecting groove is provided at one end of each insulation board, and bolt holes are reserved at both ends of the insulation board and the deformable connecting groove. The insulation board and the deformable connecting groove are locked and fixed by bolts. The deformable connecting groove includes a deformable steel frame, a cable clamp, a deformation groove, and an insulation layer. There are two sets of deformable steel frames. The cable clamp is connected in the middle of each set of deformable steel frames. A deformation groove is provided between the two sets of deformable steel frames in a direction perpendicular to the deformable steel frames. The insulation layer is connected to both sides of the deformation groove. An aluminum alloy plate and a compression spring are arranged at intervals in the deformation groove. The aluminum alloy plate and the compression spring are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the insulation layer.

[0016] Furthermore, the deformable steel frame is fixed to the cable with bolts; the two ends of the aluminum alloy plate of the deformation groove are respectively connected to the insulation layer through the second compression spring, the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the insulation layer, and the insulation layer and the deformable steel frame are connected with self-adhesive strips.

[0017] Furthermore, the cable clamp is a Q345 low-carbon steel double-groove clamp cable clamp; the deformable steel frame is a U29 type steel frame; and the insulation layer is made of polyurethane rigid plastic board with a thickness of 3-5cm.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S5, the flatness of the insulation board should meet the requirement that D / L≤1 / 30, where D is the depth of the indentation between two adjacent convex surfaces of the initial support base, and L is the distance between two adjacent convex surfaces of the initial support base.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S5, after the overall installation of the insulation board is completed, the tightness of the insulation board is checked. If it does not meet the requirements, it is reinforced by adjusting the deformable connecting groove until the design requirements are met.

[0020] Furthermore, the insulation board is made of rigid polyurethane board with a thickness of 5cm-8cm; the first waterproof board and the second waterproof board are made of EVA material board with a thickness of 1.5mm-5mm.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] This invention improves the structure of the insulation board by incorporating deformable connecting grooves at the ends of the board, enabling pre-assembled insulation panels for overall installation. This enhances the adaptability of the insulation board layout to the tunnel cross-section shape, allowing for direct on-site installation with fewer steps. Furthermore, self-adhesive tape and hot-melt gaskets replace traditional welds for connecting the insulation and waterproofing panels, facilitating rapid pre-assembly of insulation panels during tunnel construction in cold regions. This construction method simplifies the installation process, offers high adjustability, overcomes the slow installation progress and insecure installation issues common in cold-region tunnels, effectively improves the efficiency of insulation board installation in cold regions, and enhances the anti-freezing effect of tunnels in cold areas.

[0033] S2.

In this embodiment, three self-adhesive strips 4 are installed on the front and back of the insulation board 3, and two hot-melt gaskets 5 are installed on each self-adhesive strip 4. The hot-melt gaskets 5 are bonded to the self-adhesive strips 4 to prevent them from falling off during hot melting. Preferably, the insulation board 3 is made of rigid polyurethane board with a thickness of 5cm to 8cm.

[0034] S3. The insulation boards 3 are sequentially connected end to end to form a whole through the deformable connecting groove 2. A first waterproof layer is then applied to the back of the pre-assembled insulation boards 3 using the self-adhesive strip 4 and hot-melt gasket 5. The deformable connecting groove 2 is provided at one end of each insulation board 3. Bolt holes are pre-drilled at both ends of the insulation board 3 and the deformable connecting groove 2. The insulation board 3 and the deformable connecting groove 2 are locked and fixed with bolts, completing the pre-assembly of each insulation board 3. Preferably, the first waterproof layer is made of EVA material with a thickness of 1.5mm-5mm. Preferably, the bolts are high-strength bolts, preferably made of 40 boron steel.

[0035] The deformable connecting groove 2 includes a deformable steel frame 21, a cable clamp 22, a deformation groove 23, and an insulation layer 26. There are two sets of deformable steel frames 21, with the cable clamp 22 connected to the middle of each set of deformable steel frames 21. A deformation groove 23 is provided between the two sets of deformable steel frames 21 in a direction perpendicular to the deformable steel frames 21. The insulation layer 26 is connected to both sides of the deformation groove 23. An aluminum alloy plate 24 and a compression spring 25 are provided at intervals in the deformation groove 23, and the aluminum alloy plate 24 and the compression spring 25 are provided in a direction perpendicular to the insulation layer 26. The deformable steel frame 21 and the cable clamp 22 are fixed together with bolts. The two ends of the aluminum alloy plate 24 of the deformation groove 23 are connected to the insulation layer 26 via second compression springs 27, and the two ends of the compression springs 25 are connected to the insulation layer 26. Specifically, the insulation layer 26 has spring receiving holes, and the compression springs 25 and 27 abut against these holes. The other end of the second compression spring 27 is fixedly connected to the aluminum alloy plate 24.

After confirming that there are no dust or other contaminants on the waterproof membrane connecting strip and the second waterproof board, weld the second waterproof board onto the waterproof membrane connecting strip. Preferably, the second waterproof board is made of EVA material with a thickness of 1.5mm-5mm.

[0037] S5. Using self-adhesive strips 4 and hot-melt pads 5, the front of the insulation board 3 is bonded to the second waterproofing board on the free side of the initial support 1. After the insulation board 3 is installed, the bolts between the deformable steel frame 21 and the cable clamp 22 are loosened. The deformation groove 23 at the end of each insulation board 3 and the deformable steel frame 21 are adjusted. The deformable steel frame 21 moves relative to the cable clamp 22, causing the compression spring 25 in the deformation groove 23 to deform, coordinating the connecting groove to complete the overall deformation of the tunnel cross section. After deformation, the cable clamp bolts are tightened to fix the deformable connecting groove, achieving a tight bond between the pre-assembled insulation board and the second waterproofing board, while ensuring the overall rigidity and connection strength of the insulation board. After the overall installation of the insulation board is completed, the tightness of the insulation board is checked. The flatness of the insulation board laying meets the requirement of D / L≤1 / 30. If the requirement is not met, the deformable connecting groove is adjusted to reinforce it until the design requirements are met.

[0038] S6. After each process is completed, inspect and accept the installation of the insulation board and the second waterproof board in accordance with the design requirements.
