Among them, the island building cofferdam not only provides a safe and convenient construction environment for construction workers, but also ensures the smooth progress of the working well and receiving well projects.

[0003] Steel sheet piles have the advantages of good waterproof performance, simple construction, recyclability and repeated utilization, etc., and can be used for the construction of island building cofferdams. However, currently, there are relatively few projects applying steel sheet piles to the construction of island building cofferdams. Through analysis, it is found that the following problems exist specifically: At present, the state has not issued relevant specifications for steel sheet pile construction; applying steel sheet piles to the construction of island building cofferdams, especially in projects with complex tidal effects, is more difficult. The construction of a steel sheet pile island building cofferdam first needs to determine the island building area. If construction operations are carried out in a nature reserve, the access roads for construction materials and machinery need to be considered, and at the same time, sufficient working space needs to be ensured to minimize the impact of construction on the surrounding environment; in fact, the filling efficiency inside and outside the island building cofferdam is significantly affected by many factors such as complex tides, water pressure, and site environment.

[0018] This construction method of a steel sheet pile island-building cofferdam affected by tides includes the following steps:

[0019] S1. Clear the site and measure and set points; construct high-pressure jet grouting piles; drive steel pipe piles, build a steel temporary bridge and erect a guide frame; connect the steel sheet pile driving module.

[0020] S2. Assist in driving the Larsen steel sheet piles equipped with high-pressure water pipes and soil pressure sensors through the steel sheet pile driving module; weld steel girders; use a hoop structure to connect the steel beam and the Larsen steel sheet piles; install adjustable braces under the steel beam and connect the cofferdam filling module.

[0021] S3. Build a sand-filled cofferdam in the silty soil layer; synchronously fill the backfill soil in the area enclosed by the Larsen steel sheet piles and the fine sand in the sand-filled cofferdam, and adjust the adjustable braces and the backfill speed of the backfill soil in real time according to the cofferdam filling module.

[0022] S4. When the height of the backfill soil between the two rows of Larsen steel sheet piles on the water-facing side of the cofferdam main body reaches the design elevation of the fine sand, pause the backfill, and fill the backfill soil in other areas of the cofferdam to the design elevation; install wave-dissipating blocks on the water-facing side of the sand-filled cofferdam.

[0024] S6. After the island-building cofferdam and related projects are all constructed, remove the steel pipe piles and the steel temporary bridge.

[0025] Preferably, in step S2, the steel sheet pile driving module controls the verticality of the Larsen steel sheet piles during driving through the feedback information of the vertical sensors on the guide frame; in steps S2 and S5, when it is detected that it is difficult to insert or pull out the Larsen steel sheet piles, the steel sheet pile driving module starts the high-pressure water pump, and high-pressure water is ejected through the high-pressure water pipe to cut the soil at the bottom of the Larsen steel sheet piles to assist in inserting and pulling out the Larsen steel sheet piles.

[0026] Preferably, in step S3, the backfill soil in the area enclosed by the Larsen steel sheet piles and the fine sand in the sand-filled cofferdam are preferably filled by means of sand transportation pipeline flushing.

[0027] The specific method of adjusting the adjustable braces in real time according to the cofferdam filling module is as follows: the displacement and force sensors on the vertical rods and horizontal supports feedback information and the height of the backfill soil, and then the cofferdam filling module of the Internet of Things system controls the displacement of the vertical rods and the axial force of the horizontal supports; the vertical rods are continuously lifted according to the change of the backfill soil, and always ensure that the horizontal supports are above the backfill soil.

[0028] Specifically, the cofferdam filling module adjusts the operation area and filling speed of the backfill soil in real time. Based on the feedback information from the displacement and force sensors on the vertical rods and horizontal supports, and the water and soil pressure sensors on the L-shaped steel sheet piles, the cofferdam filling module of the Internet of Things system will adjust the filling operation area and filling speed of the backfill soil.

[0029] Preferably, in step S5, the L-shaped steel sheet piles are pulled out in the reverse order of driving.

[0030] In steps S5 and S6, if the island-building cofferdam is a temporary cofferdam, it is also necessary to clean the backfill soil, sand-filled cofferdam and wave-blocking blocks, clean the river channel, and restore the original ecological environment of the project site.

[0031] Preferably, the removed L-shaped steel sheet piles, steel beams, hoop structures, steel wales, adjustable braces, steel pipe piles, steel temporary bridges, guide frames and Internet of Things systems are recycled after recovery.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] 1) The present invention adopts a structural form in which two rows of L-shaped steel sheet piles are arranged on the water-facing side of the cofferdam main body, and adjustable braces and high-pressure jet grouting piles are arranged between the two rows of L-shaped steel sheet piles, which greatly improves the stability and safety of the water-facing side of the cofferdam.

[0034] 2) In the present invention, high-pressure water pipes are provided on the inner wall of the tongue-and-groove of the L-shaped steel sheet piles. When it is difficult to insert and pull out the L-shaped steel sheet piles, the high-pressure water can be used to wash and cut the soil at the bottom of the L-shaped steel sheet piles to assist the L-shaped steel sheet piles to penetrate through the hard soil layer, which is beneficial to the rapid sinking or extraction of the L-shaped steel sheet piles, improves the insertion and extraction efficiency of the L-shaped steel sheet piles, and saves the construction period.

[0035] 3) The present invention adopts a guide frame to ensure the verticality of the driving of the L-shaped steel sheet piles, effectively preventing problems such as the overall axial position deviation and vertical inclination of the L-shaped steel sheet piles, and improving the construction efficiency and quality of the L-shaped steel sheet piles.

[0036] 4) The present invention adopts a hoop structure to realize the rapid connection between the L-shaped steel sheet piles and the steel beams above them, effectively improving the connection construction efficiency between the L-shaped steel sheet piles and the steel beams.

[0037] 5) The present invention adopts an adjustable brace to adjust the height of the vertical rod to control the position of the horizontal support. Through the axial force sensor and displacement sensor on the horizontal support, the deformation and stress conditions of the L-shaped steel sheet piles at the position where they are located can be measured in real time. By adjusting the height of the vertical rod and the axial force of the horizontal support, the deformation and stress of the L-shaped steel sheet piles can be effectively controlled, ensuring the stability and safety of the island-building cofferdam.

[0038] 6) The present invention uses precast plates with raised tongue-and-groove joints, which are connected by wedges and supplemented by steel hoops to quickly form a sand-filled cofferdam. Compared with traditional sand-filled pipe bags, it saves transportation and stacking time, improves the installation speed, and is convenient to demolish and reusable.

[0039] 7) The present invention sets anti-wave blocks on the water-facing side of the sand-filled cofferdam, which is convenient for construction, can prevent the scouring damage of the wave impact on the island-building cofferdam, and ensures the safety of the project construction.

[0040] 8) The present invention adopts an Internet of Things control system. Through the steel sheet pile driving module, the penetration construction parameters of the steel sheet pile are adjusted in a timely manner to control the pulling and driving efficiency and construction quality of the Larsen steel sheet pile; through the cofferdam filling module, the refined management and control of the cofferdam filling are realized, ensuring the safety of the island-building cofferdam project and improving the construction efficiency of the island-building cofferdam.

[0041] 9) The present invention uses a steel temporary bridge for the walking and transportation of people, materials and machinery, greatly reducing the damage of the project construction to the natural environment around the island-building cofferdam, facilitating the restoration of the original ecological environment of the site after the construction, conforming to the green and environmental protection construction concept, and having significant social benefits.

[0042] 10) The Larsen steel sheet piles, steel beams, hoop structures, steel wales, adjustable braces, steel pipe piles, steel temporary bridges, guide frames and Internet of Things systems removed in the present invention can all be recycled in similar projects, improving the popularization of the invention, reducing the practice cost of the new method, and at the same time conforming to the low-carbon and sustainable construction concept.
