Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sinking well construction, in particular to a method for determining the height and specific gravity of mud in sinking well mechanical construction. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of underground space construction, the application scenarios of sinking well construction technology are also increasing, and the requirements for sinking well construction technology are also getting higher and higher. The traditional sinking well construction technology cannot meet the needs of today. The sinking well mechanical excavation construction technology just makes up for the defects of the traditional sinking well construction technology. In Zhang Zhenguang et al.'s "Underwater mechanical excavation construction technology of super-deep assembled vertical shaft in water-rich stratum: Taking a sinking well type parking facility construction project in Nanjing as an example", the sinking well mechanical excavation construction technology is introduced. The sinking well mechanical excavation technology uses a full-automatic mechanical vertical shaft excavator for excavation. During the entire excavation process, the operating personnel do not need to enter the wellbore. The excavated soil is transported into the slurry separation system through the slurry outlet pipe and is mixed into a certain proportion of mud, which is then injected into the wellbore through the slurry inlet pipe. The mud in the wellbore can prevent piping and other phenomena from occurring at the bottom of the sinking well. In summary, the mud plays a role in balancing the groundwater pressure in the sinking well mechanical construction, which can effectively prevent the piping phenomenon from occurring at the bottom of the sinking well and effectively reduce the instability risk of the excavation surface at the bottom of the sinking well. Therefore, the required injection height and specific gravity of the mud play an extremely important role in the safety of the sinking well mechanical construction. However, so far, there is no effective method to determine the required mud height and specific gravity. Therefore, the present application provides a method for determining the height and specific gravity of mud in sinking well mechanical construction. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a method for determining the height and specific gravity of mud in sinking well mechanical construction, comprising the following steps:

[0005] 1) determining the distance H from the confined water head height to the confined roof, the distance h2 from the sinking well bottom to the confined roof, and the average specific gravity γ of the soil between the sinking well bottom and the confined roof s ;

[0006] 2) determining the product of the specific gravity of the mud and the height of the mud γ n h1;

[0007] When γ s h2≥K s γ wH

[0008] γ n h1=0,

[0009] In this case, the soil between the caisson bottom and the bearing roof has been able to balance the groundwater pressure, so the mud height h1 and the specific gravity γ n Any value meets the sudden gushing requirements, and the specific value only needs to meet the anti-overturning (i.e., step 11) requirements.

[0010] When γ s h2 s γ w H,

[0011] γ n h1=K s γ w H-γ s h2,

[0012] γ n : mud specific gravity; h1: mud height; K s : safety factor, take 1.05; γ w : water specific gravity, take 10 KN / m 3 .

[0013] 3) Determine the specific gravity γ i , internal friction angle φ 1i , and cohesive force c i of each soil layer outside the caisson;

[0014] 4) Determine the active earth pressure coefficient K ai of each soil layer of the caisson side wall;

[0015]

[0016] φ 1i : internal friction angle of soil layer i outside the caisson side wall.

[0017] The active earth pressure coefficients of each soil layer are different.

[0018] 5) Determine the earth pressure E a outside the caisson side wall;

[0019]

[0020]

[0021]

[0022]

[0023]

[0024]

[0025] γ i : unit weight of soil layer i, if the soil layer is below the groundwater level, the buoyant unit weight γ' i , γ i , = γ i - γ w ; c i : cohesion of soil layer i; h i : thickness of soil layer i; σ i : active earth pressure intensity of soil layer i; m: total number of soil layers.

[0026] 6) Determine the passive earth pressure coefficient K of the mud on the side wall of the caisson p ;

[0027]

[0028] φ2: internal friction angle of the mud.

[0029] 7) Determine the unit weight G of the caisson per unit length, the width B1 of the caisson blade plane, the inclination angle θ, and the thickness d of the caisson.

[0030] 8) Determine the vertical distance a from the earth pressure action point of the mud on the side wall of the caisson to the inside point O of the blade a ;

[0031] 9) Determine the force F of the mud on the side wall of the caisson n ;

[0032]

[0033] where c: cohesion of the mud; K p : passive earth pressure coefficient of the mud on the side wall of the caisson; γ n : unit weight of the mud; h1: height of the mud.

[0034] 10) Determine the vertical distance a from the earth pressure action point of the mud on the side wall of the caisson to the inside point O of the blade n ;

[0035]

[0036] 11) Determine the moment M of the mud on the inside point O of the blade n ;

[0037]

Here If then take Continue to calculate.

[0039] 12) Determine the height h1 and the specific gravity γ of the mud n ;

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] Wherein when A>0, A=K s γ w H-γ s h2; when A<0, A=0;

[0043] Substitute the specific data to solve the final result, and the final result needs to meet h1>0, γ n >0 and the requirements of anti-inrush and anti-overturning. It should be noted that if the final depth of the caisson is greater than the buried depth of the confined water, when the excavation depth is greater than the buried depth of the confined water, the height h1 and the specific gravity γ n of the mud can take any value to meet the inrush requirements, and the specific value only needs to meet the anti-overturning (i.e. step 11) requirements.

[0044] The final result obtained by the above calculation is only the height and specific gravity of the mud at a certain depth in the mechanical caisson construction process. If the height and specific gravity of the mud in the entire process are needed, a plurality of excavation depths need to be selected at certain excavation depth intervals, and the height and specific gravity of the mud at each excavation depth are obtained by repeated calculation. Then, the height and specific gravity of the mud at each excavation depth obtained by calculation are plotted into a curve diagram. According to the plotted curve, the height and specific gravity of the mud required at each excavation depth of the caisson can be known. The smaller the depth interval, the higher the accuracy of the curve drawing. The curve represents the minimum height and specific gravity. When the value is taken, the point on the upper part of the curve can be taken.

[0057] 1) determining the distance H from the pressure water head height to the pressure roof, the distance h2 from the caisson bottom to the pressure roof, and the average density γ of the soil between the caisson bottom and the pressure roof s ;

[0058] First, the elevation of the pressure roof is measured by exploration survey, then the elevation of the water level of the confined water is measured by the groundwater level monitor, and finally the difference between the two is the H.

[0059] First, the ground elevation is measured by the level gauge, then the open caisson excavation depth is determined, the open caisson bottom elevation is obtained by subtracting the excavation depth from the ground elevation, and finally the h2 is obtained by subtracting the pressure roof elevation from the open caisson bottom elevation.

[0060] First, the soil samples of each soil layer of the construction site are collected, then the specific gravity of each soil layer is obtained through indoor test, and finally the average specific gravity of the soil between the open caisson bottom and the pressure roof is obtained by weighted average of the specific gravity of the soil between the open caisson bottom and the pressure roof. s .

[0061] 2) Determine the product of the mud specific gravity and the mud height γ n h1;

[0062] When γ s h2≥K s γ w H,

[0063] γ n h1=0,

[0064] In this case, the soil between the open caisson bottom and the pressure roof can balance the groundwater pressure, so the mud height h1 and the specific gravity γ n Take any value to meet the heave requirements, and the specific value only needs to meet the anti-overturning requirements (i.e. step 11). According to the specific engineering requirements, one of the values can be determined, and then the other value can be obtained, such as setting the mud height to be 1-2m higher than the groundwater level, and then the specific gravity can be obtained.

[0077]

[0078]

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] γ i : the weight of soil layer i, if the soil layer is below the groundwater level, the buoyant weight γ' i , γ' i = γ i - γ w ; c i : the cohesion of soil layer i; h i : the thickness of soil layer i; σ i : the active earth pressure intensity of soil layer i, m: the total number of soil layers.

[0082] 6) Determine the passive earth pressure coefficient K p of the mud against the caisson side wall;

[0083]

[0084] φ2: the internal friction angle of the mud.

[0085] The internal friction angle φ2 of the mud is taken from the internal friction angle of the main component soil in the mud, which is also obtained by indoor triaxial test.

[0086] 7) Determine the self-weight of caisson per unit length G, the width of caisson blade plane B1, the angle of inclination θ, the thickness of caisson d.

[0087] When prefabricated concrete segments are used for caisson, the weight of each segment can be measured, and then multiplied by the number of segments to obtain the total weight, and then divided by the perimeter of the caisson, and finally the self-weight of caisson per unit length G can be obtained; when concrete is poured, the volume of caisson is multiplied by the density to obtain the mass of the segment, and then multiplied by the acceleration of gravity, and then divided by the perimeter of the caisson, and the self-weight of caisson per unit length G can also be obtained; the width of caisson blade plane B1, the angle of inclination θ, and the thickness of caisson d are measured by measuring ruler and protractor.

[0088] 8) Determine the vertical distance a from the point of action of soil pressure on the side wall of caisson to the inside point O of blade a .

Here If , take and continue to calculate.

[0097] 12) Determine the value of height of mud h1 and specific weight of mud γ n ;

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] wherein when A>0, A=K s γ w H-γ s h2; when A<0, A=0;

[0101] Substitute the specific data to solve the final result, and the final result needs to meet h1>0, γ n >0 and the requirements of anti-bursting and anti-overturning. It needs to be noted that if the final depth of the caisson is greater than the buried depth of the confined water, when the excavation depth is greater than the buried depth of the confined water, the slurry height h1 and the specific gravity γ n take any value to meet the bursting requirement, and the specific value only needs to meet the anti-overturning requirement (i.e. step 11), one value can be determined according to the specific engineering requirements, and the other value can be determined, such as the slurry height being 1-2 m higher than the groundwater level, and the specific gravity can be determined.

[0102] For the above steps, it needs to be noted that the caisson excavation process is a dynamic process, and some parameters h2, γ s , G, a a , etc. will change, so each calculation is performed on the parameters of a certain excavation depth in the dynamic process, and thus only the slurry height and the specific gravity corresponding to a certain excavation depth can be obtained. As described above, in order to obtain the slurry height and the specific gravity required in the entire caisson excavation process, a plurality of excavation depths need to be selected at certain intervals, the slurry height and the specific gravity corresponding to each excavation depth need to be calculated repeatedly, and then the calculation results of each excavation depth need to be plotted into a curve diagram. The points on the curve diagram are the values of the slurry height and the specific gravity at each excavation depth, and the smaller the interval between the excavation depths, the higher the precision of the curve. Moreover, since the results obtained by the calculation are the minimum requirements, the points on the curve are the minimum requirement values, and thus the points on the upper part of the curve can be taken as the values.

[0103] The above-mentioned methods of obtaining calculation parameters are only provided as a method, and are not the only method, and other methods of obtaining calculation parameters can be used.
