Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of open-cut tunnel engineering construction, and in particular to an ultra-large-span tie-arch underground combined structure and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of rail transit, underground structures are often constrained by surrounding and internal conditions. To address these limitations, open-cut rectangular structures are often employed. When these constraints necessitate an increase in the span of a rectangular structure, a large-span or ultra-large-span open-cut rectangular structure is formed. These large-span or ultra-large-span open-cut rectangular structures are prone to increased internal forces and deformation, and are particularly susceptible to significant uneven settlement and deformation when located in soft, water-rich strata.

[0003] Unlike conventional open-cut tunnel box structures, when the structural span increases, the internal stress of the tunnel structure will increase accordingly and be unevenly distributed. The use of existing open-cut box tunnel structures will lead to an increase in structural size, an increase in structural cracks, and a complex internal force distribution that is uneconomical. Therefore, it is necessary to design a construction structure for ultra-large span underground box-type open-cut structures that can solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0040] like Figure 1 The present invention provides an ultra-long-span tie-arch underground composite structure suitable for construction of open-cut rectangular structures with a span greater than 16.5 meters in soft, water-rich strata. The structure comprises a box structure, a tie-arch structure, and pile foundations (1). The tie-arch structure is located at the top of the box structure, and the pile foundations (1) are located at the bottom of the box structure.

[0041] The tie rod arch structure includes a horizontal support plate 6, a tie rod 7 and an arch top plate 8. The arch top plate 8 is arched and located above the horizontal support plate 6. The tie rod 7 is vertically connected between the arch top plate 8 and the horizontal support plate 6. The horizontal support plate 6 and the arch top plate 8 form an arched structure covering the top of the box structure.

[0042] The bottom of the box-type structure is the base plate 2, flanked by longitudinal bottom concealed beams 3. The tops of the bottom concealed beams 3 are the vertical side walls 4. The horizontal support plate 6 of the tie-arch structure also serves as the top plate of the box-type structure. The tops of the side walls 4 are connected to the side wall concealed beams 5. The horizontal support plate 6 and the arch top plate 8 are connected to the side wall concealed beams 5 at both ends, with internal reinforcement tied to each other. The horizontal support plate 6 has enlarged ends at both ends, connecting to the side wall concealed beams 5 through the enlarged ends, increasing the joint stiffness.

[0043] In some embodiments, in order to further increase the overall lateral compressive resistance of the structure, vertical and columnar foundation pit supports 10 can be set on the outside of the side wall 4, and longitudinal beams 9 are set on the top of the foundation pit supports 10 to form a longitudinal connection at the top of the foundation pit supports 10.

[0044] In some embodiments, this structure can be equipped with a drainage system to drain accumulated water within the tie-arch structure. A side platform 14 is provided on the inner top of the bottom concealed beam 3. A drainage ditch 12 is provided on this platform, and a cover plate 13 is installed above the drainage ditch 12. A drainage pipe 11 is installed in the side wall 4. One end of the drainage pipe 11 passes through the side wall concealed beam 5 and the horizontal support plate 6, and is located above the horizontal support plate 6. The other end of the drainage pipe 11 passes through the bottom concealed beam 3 and connects to the drainage ditch 12.

[0045] The construction method of the above-mentioned ultra-large span tie-arch underground composite structure specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: Construct the open excavation foundation pit support structure, construct pile foundation 1 simultaneously, and reserve connecting steel bars on the top of pile foundation 1;

[0047] S2: Excavate the foundation pit layer by layer downward to the elevation of bottom plate 2, expose the reserved steel bars on the top of pile foundation 1, and carry out waterproofing and cushion construction of bottom plate 2;

[0048] S3: Tie the bottom plate 2 steel bars, reliably anchor the bottom plate 2 steel bars and the reserved steel bars on the top of the pile foundation 1, and set the hidden beam steel bars at the bottom hidden beam 3, and pour concrete in the formwork to form a combined structure of the bottom hidden beam 3 and the bottom plate 2;

[0049] S4: Layered and segmented side wall 4;

[0050] S5: Tie the side wall hidden beam 5 reinforcement, set up the formwork and pour concrete, build the side wall hidden beam 5 and reserve connecting reinforcement on its top and inside;

[0051] S6: Build a horizontal support plate 6, tie the steel bars of the horizontal support plate 6 to the connecting steel bars reserved in the side wall hidden beam 5, and build a tie rod 7;

[0052] S7: construct the arch top plate 8, and tie the steel bars of the arch top plate 8 and the connection steel bars reserved in the side wall hidden beam 5 into one.

[0053] The above method further comprises the following steps:

[0054] 1. While constructing the open excavation foundation pit support structure, vertical foundation pit supports 10 arranged in rows are constructed outside the designed position of the side wall 4, and longitudinal beams 9 are constructed on the top of the foundation pit supports 10 to form a longitudinal connection at the top of each foundation pit support 10.

[0055] 2. After the box structure is completed, a side platform 14 is constructed on the inner top of the bottom hidden beam 3, a drainage ditch 12 is constructed on the side platform 14, and a cover plate 13 is added;

[0056] When constructing the bottom hidden beam 3, side wall 4, side wall hidden beam 5, and horizontal support plate 6, respectively reserve passages for the drainage pipe 11. After the structural construction is completed, the drainage pipe 11 is laid in the passages.

[0057] One end of the drainage pipe 11 is located above the horizontal support plate 6, and the other end is connected to the drainage ditch 12 to drain the accumulated water in the tie rod arch structure.

[0058] This structure, a super-long-span box structure, a tie-arch structure, ribbed concealed beams, and a pile foundation, form a super-long-span tie-arch box structure. This prevents uneven stress distribution, low rigidity, poor integrity, large structural deformation, large settlement, and poor safety in super-long-span underground box structures. This structure ensures the stability of internal forces and deformations of super-long-span underground box structures when subjected to overhead loads, making it particularly suitable for the design of super-long-span open-cut box tunnel structures.

[0059] The above examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions based on the concept of the present invention.
