Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reservoir dam reinforcement in water conservancy projects, specifically a dual-effect grouting method for thickening and reinforcing the interface between the old and new dam bodies in a masonry dam. Background Technology
[0002] In the reinforcement of reservoir dams in water conservancy projects, when general reinforcement measures cannot effectively solve the problem, it is often necessary to thicken and reinforce the dam. In the thickening and reinforcement of masonry dams, the treatment measures of the interface between the new and old dam bodies play a crucial role in the integration of the new and old dam bodies and the purpose of seepage prevention and reinforcement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a dual-effect grouting method for thickening and reinforcing the interface between the old and new dam bodies in masonry dams. This grouting method is simple and effective to construct and can achieve the dual purpose of contact grouting at the interface of the masonry dam and reinforcement grouting between the old and new dam bodies.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a dual-effect grouting method for thickening and reinforcing the interface between the old and new dam bodies in a masonry dam, wherein S1 is the preparation step, including reviewing, exploring and confirming the scope of the arch dam data, preparing grouting tools, purchasing grout stoppers, grouting pipes, exhaust pipes, several grout outlet boxes and excavation machinery required for grouting, and preparing for grouting at the interface between the old and new dam bodies.
[0006] The S2 cleaning step involves removing impurities from the original dam surface, chiseling out the masonry joints on the original dam surface to form a joint removal groove, and chiseling out some masonry at the location where the grout outlet box is to be installed later. Then the original dam surface is cleaned.
[0007] S3 layout preparation involves dividing the original dam face into zones, arranging grout-stopping plates around each zone, and installing vent pipes below the top grout-stopping plates. At the same time, grouting pipes and grout outlet boxes are installed in conjunction with the excavated grooves of the masonry joints.
[0008] S4 construction involves grouting after the thickened dam body is constructed, using grouting pipes, grout outlet boxes, and exhaust pipes to perform grouting, thus completing dual-effect grouting.
[0009] The S5 site clearing procedure involves collecting excess materials after grouting is completed, then cleaning the site and removing the materials and equipment.
[0010] A further improvement to the present invention is that the pulp outlet box can be made of metal sheet. The size of the pulp outlet box can be selected according to different projects, and the general size is length × width × height: 0.16m × 0.16m × 0.06m, but it is not limited to 0.16m × 0.16m × 0.06m.
[0011] A further improvement to the present invention is that several of the grout outlet boxes are arranged in an orderly manner on the grouting pipe. The distribution of the grout outlet boxes facilitates the coordination of the grouting pipe, so that the grout can also flow into each grout outlet box.
[0012] A further improvement to the invention is that the exhaust pipe extends through the grout stopper. The grout stopper can be made of plastic. The exhaust pipe can be made of PVC or PE pipe, with a diameter generally between φ20 and φ32. Holes need to be drilled every 0.1m in the exhaust pipe to allow for air release.
[0013] A further improvement to the invention is that the joint removal groove is located at the top of the masonry joint. The depth of the joint removal groove is generally 40mm, but can be adjusted according to different projects.
[0014] In a further improvement to the present invention, the grouting pipe can be made of PVC or PE pipe, and the pipe diameter is generally φ20~φ32. Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects;
[0016] Common treatment methods for the interface between new and old dam bodies in this invention include interface anchor bolts and contact grouting. This invention is based on the above common measures and focuses on reinforcement measures for the interface between new and old masonry dam bodies. At the same time, through the proposed grouting method and implementation steps, it achieves the dual purpose of contact grouting of the interface and reinforcement grouting of the new and old dam bodies.
