Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of concrete engineering, in particular to a concrete structure for preventing cracking of cast-in-place tunnel main structure and a construction method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in the concrete construction engineering of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel, it is very difficult to control the cracking and leakage of the concrete structure due to the large size of the concrete structure, resulting in the problem of cracking and leakage of the concrete being very prominent. It is found through research that the cracking and leakage problem in the concrete construction process of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel is mainly caused by the early shrinkage of the concrete. Therefore, how to effectively control the early shrinkage cracking of the concrete structure is the key to solving the cracking and leakage problem in the concrete construction process of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel.

[0003] For the early shrinkage cracking problem of the concrete structure, the existing technology also provides a solution, such as: (1) adopting the method of adding cooling water pipes in the concrete to reduce the temperature of the concrete by using cooling water to improve the cracking risk of the concrete; (2) adopting the whole section one-time pouring process to form the whole concrete structure. According to many engineering practices, it is found that the above-mentioned methods can indeed effectively improve the early shrinkage cracking problem in the concrete construction process, and they are also commonly used in the concrete construction to avoid cracking of the concrete. However, when the above-mentioned process is used in the concrete structure construction of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel, due to the actual problems such as high engineering support excavation conditions and formwork process requirements, poor site construction conditions, etc. of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel, it leads to the defects of large construction difficulty, large resource investment and long construction period, and is not suitable for large-scale application in the concrete structure construction of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel. Therefore, the early shrinkage cracking problem of the concrete structure of the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel has not been well solved. SUMMARY

The concrete structure adjusts the formula of the concrete to make the partitioned concrete have different expansion coefficients, so that the restraint stress of the concrete in different partitions is significantly weakened, and the anti-cracking property of the concrete structure itself is significantly improved. The concrete structure for preventing cracking of cast-in-place tunnel main structure is simple, low in cost, has a significant improvement effect on the shrinkage cracking problem of the concrete, and is suitable for large-scale application in the open section of immersed tube and the main structure of open-cut tunnel.
