Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nuclear power construction, in particular to a vertical support structure and method for constructing a nuclear island basement by open top method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to greatly improve the equipment installation efficiency and shorten the installation time, the open top method is used to construct the nuclear island basement of the third generation nuclear power unit: that is, the walls of each layer are constructed first, and the floor slab can be poured and closed only after the equipment installation in the room is completed. When the open top method is used for construction, any horizontal internal support structure is not allowed to be arranged inside the foundation pit to prevent the conflict between the hoisted equipment and the internal support structure in space and affect the normal installation of the equipment, so that the foundation pit support scheme without internal support structure must be used: slope excavation or pile-anchor type support.
[0003] The slope excavation scheme has low technical difficulty and simple construction, and is the preferred scheme for the nuclear island foundation pit design at home and abroad, but it occupies a large area and has a huge amount of excavation and backfilling. Especially for the soft soil site with poor soil properties, in order to ensure the stability of the slope, the slope gradient will be greatly reduced, which will cause the amount of excavation and backfilling to increase sharply, resulting in a large increase in the engineering quantity and cost. Since the nuclear island and the surrounding auxiliary plant room are very close, the use of the slope excavation scheme will cause the auxiliary plant room to wait until the nuclear island foundation pit is completely backfilled before starting construction, thereby delaying the operation time of the auxiliary plant room and greatly increasing the total construction period.
[0004] The pile-anchor type support structure transmits the water and soil pressure borne by the row piles to the stable stratum through the anchor cable, and has the characteristics of small occupied area and small amount of excavation and backfilling. However, since the anchor cable is a flexible structure, its axial interface stiffness in the soft soil foundation is very small, and stress relaxation is prone to occur at the anchor cable-soil interface, so the horizontal lateral stiffness provided by the anchor cable is much smaller than that of the internal support structure, resulting in large long-term deformation of the support structure under the action of water and soil pressure, which often cannot meet the safety requirements of nuclear power engineering. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a vertical support structure and method for constructing a nuclear island basement by open top method, which not only overcomes the shortcomings of the slope excavation scheme, such as large occupied area, large amount of excavation and backfilling, and influence on the construction of surrounding auxiliary plant rooms, but also solves the problems of small horizontal lateral stiffness and large long-term deformation of the pile-anchor type support system.

[0017] In a second aspect, a construction method for constructing a vertical support structure of a nuclear island basement by the top-opening method, comprising the following steps:
[0018] The water-stopping mixing piles are positioned and constructed outside the required construction support piles and are mutually overlapped and engaged;
[0019] The holes are formed in the vertical direction at the positions of the support piles and in the inclined direction at the positions of the anti-pulling piles, the steel cages are inserted after the holes are formed, and finally the concrete is poured;

[0021] The earthwork is excavated, the internal earthwork of the foundation pit is excavated along the inner side of the support piles, and the excavation is stopped until the designed base elevation is reached, thereby forming the support structure as described in any of the above.
[0022] The nuclear island basement is constructed.
[0023] As a further implementation mode, when the plane closed frame is constructed, the steel bars of each component are first bound, wherein the longitudinal main bars of the supporting piles and the uplift resisting piles should be anchored into the components at the corresponding positions of the plane closed frame; after the binding is completed, the concrete of each component of the plane closed frame is poured, and the one-time pouring forming process should be adopted; when the earthwork is excavated, the excavation should be performed according to the principles of stratification, block and symmetry, until the excavation reaches the design base elevation.

[0037] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] In a typical embodiment of the present application, referring to Fig. 1, a vertical support structure for building a nuclear island basement by the top-opening method includes support piles 3, waterproof mixing piles 4, anti-pulling piles 5, and a plane closed frame 2, and the vertical support structure is suitable for a nuclear island foundation pit with a depth of not more than 20 m. Figures 1-5 As shown in Fig. 2, the support piles 3 are arranged along the outside of the foundation pit excavation line, forming a rectangle, and a plurality of waterproof mixing piles 4 are arranged outside the support piles 3, abutting the support piles 3 and overlapping each other to form a continuous vertical waterproof curtain, and the waterproof mixing piles 4 are used for waterproofing when the underground water level is higher than the foundation level. The support piles 3 are arranged to bear the huge lateral pressure generated by the soil outside the foundation pit after excavation.
[0040] Figure 1 As shown in Fig. 3, a plane closed frame 2 is arranged on the horizontal plane outside the foundation pit, including a crown beam 21, a web beam 22, an outer ring beam 23, and a reinforcing plate 24 at the corners.
[0041] In order to increase the constraint of the top of the support pile 3 and ensure that the horizontal force of the top of the support pile 3 can be well transmitted to the outside of the foundation pit, the plane closed frame 2 is arranged at the top of the support pile 3 and connected with the support pile, the crown beam 21 and the outer ring beam 23 have the same shape as the shape enclosed by the support piles 3, both are rectangles, and the size of the crown beam 21 is smaller than the size of the outer ring beam 23.
[0042] In order to increase the constraint of the top of the support pile 3 and ensure that the horizontal force of the top of the support pile 3 can be well transmitted to the outside of the foundation pit, the plane closed frame 2 is arranged at the top of the support pile 3 and connected with the support pile, the crown beam 21 and the outer ring beam 23 have the same shape as the shape enclosed by the support piles 3, both are rectangles, and the size of the crown beam 21 is smaller than the size of the outer ring beam 23.

The crown beam 21 and the outer ring beam 23 have the same height. The center line of the outer ring beam 23 is parallel to the center line of the crown beam 21. The distance between the crown beam 21 and the outer ring beam 23 is determined by the required rigidity of the plane closed frame 2 and is generally 1 / 10-1 / 5 of the length of the pit side.
[0044] The crown beam 21 is connected with the outer ring beam 23 through a plurality of web members 22. A reinforcing rib is arranged between adjacent web members 22. One end of the web member is connected with the crown beam 21 and the other end is connected with the outer ring beam 23. The bottom of the outer ring beam 23 is connected with a plurality of inclined uplift piles 5. The uplift piles 5 have an angle of 20-30° with the vertical direction. The uplift piles 5 are used to transmit the huge horizontal force transmitted by the plane closed frame 2 to the deep stable stratum.

The support structure provides a good working space for the structural construction and equipment installation and greatly saves the construction period of the procedures such as replacing the support and inverting the support and greatly accelerates the construction and installation speed.
