Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluidized solidified soil building structure technology, and more specifically, to a waste tire protective wall for fluidized solidified soil embankments and a construction method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] In the current construction of fluidized solidified soil filling projects, there are two main conventional methods for constructing protective walls: one is to construct the protective wall using reinforced concrete, and the other is to construct the protective wall using precast concrete panels.
[0003] Protective walls constructed using conventional methods suffer from poor overall stability due to their heavy weight, poor corrosion resistance, and significant differences from the subgrade materials. This leads to differential settlement and compromises project quality. Furthermore, these conventional methods are characterized by long construction periods, susceptibility to environmental factors, and high costs. In addition, fluidized solidified soil exhibits slow initial strength gain, and its low thermal conductivity hinders the timely dissipation of heat generated during hydration. This results in a rapid temperature increase and volume expansion, leading to internal thermal stress during cooling. This stress can cause shrinkage gaps between the solidified soil and the rigid protective wall, ultimately causing structural defects.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to develop a waste tire protective wall and construction method for fluidized solidified soil embankments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is the defect in the prior art. Specifically, the present invention provides a waste tire protective wall for fluidized solidified soil embankments. It makes full use of the characteristics of tire wall to effectively improve the overall stability of fluidized solidified soil, effectively isolate the external environment and significantly reduce the shrinkage gaps between the fluidized solidified soil and the protective wall during the hardening process, thereby further ensuring the quality of the project. Moreover, the structure is simple.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: This invention provides a waste tire protective wall for fluidized solidified soil embankments, which is composed of multiple waste tire protective units; each waste tire protective unit consists of two waste tires A, n waste tires B, reinforcing bars and fasteners, wherein waste tire B is a complete tire, and waste tire A is a half tire with the same size as waste tire B.
[0007] A through hole A is provided at the center of the sidewall of each waste tire A, and a corresponding through hole B is provided at the corresponding position on the sidewall of each waste tire B, with the line connecting the two through holes B passing through the center of the tire; n+2 waste tires are placed horizontally with waste tire A on both sides and n waste tires B in the middle, with the cut directions of the two waste tires A corresponding; then steel bars are passed through the through holes A of the two waste tires A and the through holes B of the n waste tires B, and the two waste tires A and the n waste tires B are connected by fasteners to form a waste tire protective wall unit;
[0008] Multiple waste tire protection wall units are laid parallel in the excavated trench with the tires tangent to each other at their respective positions to form a waste tire protection wall layer. Then, a second waste tire protection wall layer is laid on top of the first waste tire protection wall layer in a vertically overlapping manner, and a third waste tire protection wall layer is laid on top of the second waste tire protection wall layer, and so on, to form a waste tire protection wall composed of multiple waste tire protection wall layers.
[0009] Preferably, through hole A and through hole B are collectively referred to as through holes, and waste tire A and waste tire B are collectively referred to as waste tires. Then, there are a total of 2n+2 through holes on two waste tires A and n waste tires B. A set of fasteners is provided at each through hole, and the fasteners include bolts, nuts and washers.
[0010] The steel bars are divided into n+1 segments. The two ends of each segment are welded to the head of a bolt. Then, two bolts are passed back to back through the corresponding through holes of two adjacent waste tires and fastened with washers, nuts and bolts to complete the connection of n+2 waste tires.
[0011] Preferably, the number of layers N of the waste tire protective wall layer is selected according to the design height of the embankment filling, and N≥1.
[0012] The present invention also provides a construction method for a waste tire protective wall for a fluidized solidified soil embankment, comprising the following steps;
[0013] Step 1, Treatment of embankment foundation
[0014] After the embankment foundation is treated and leveled, two trenches are excavated along the outer side of the embankment edge, and the width of the roadside trench is greater than the radius of the waste tire; n intermediate embankment trenches are excavated along the centerline of the embankment, and the width of the intermediate embankment trenches is greater than the diameter of the waste tire; the trench depth of the roadside trenches and the intermediate embankment trenches is d, d≤0.5D, where D is the thickness of the waste tire B.
[0015] Step 2, Install waste tire protective wall units
[0016] S1, embed a layer of impermeable geotextile into the two excavated roadside trenches;
[0017] S2, multiple waste tire protection wall units are laid parallel in the excavated roadside ditch or intermediate embankment ditch with both ends aligned to form a waste tire protection wall layer, and the steel bars of the waste tire protection wall units are perpendicular to the embankment direction. Among them, the waste tires A on both sides are placed in the two roadside ditches respectively, and the waste tires B are placed in the corresponding intermediate embankment ditch.
[0018] S3, the waste tire protective wall layer is laid in batches according to the vertical overlap. The second waste tire protective wall layer is laid on the first waste tire protective wall layer, the third waste tire protective wall layer is laid on the second waste tire protective wall layer, and so on, laying multiple waste tire protective wall layers; wherein, the height of each batch of waste tire protective wall layer is recorded as M.
[0019] S4, wrap the waste tires A on both sides with impermeable geotextile along the outside, and turn the excess impermeable geotextile over the upper surface of the waste tire A protective wall layer laid in each batch.
[0020] Step 3: Pour the fluidized solidified soil in layers.
[0021] Based on the design height of the embankment, determine the number of layers of fluidized solidified soil to be laid, and then pour the first layer of fluidized solidified soil embankment; after the first layer of fluidized solidified soil has set, pour the second layer of fluidized solidified soil, and so on to complete the laying of multiple layers of fluidized solidified soil.
[0022] The interval between each layer of pouring should be greater than 12 hours, and the thickness of each layer should be controlled between 1m and 2m.
[0023] Step 4, Repairing the sidewalls of the fluidized solidified soil embankment
[0024] After the fluidized solidified soil embankment is poured and hardened, the impermeable geotextile wrapped around the waste tire A is cut along the ground, and the fluidized solidified soil that seeps out from the gaps between the waste tires A is repaired.
[0025] Preferably, the height M of the waste tire protective wall layer laid in each batch is slightly greater than the thickness of the fluidized solidified soil laid in each layer.
[0026] Preferably, if heavy rain or continuous light rain occurs during the pouring of fluidized solidified soil, the unhardened surface layer of fluidized solidified soil shall be covered.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] (1) In this invention, waste tire A and waste tire B are laid horizontally, and the cut direction of waste tire A is opposite to that of waste tire B. In the horizontal direction, waste tire A and waste tire B are connected by steel bars and fasteners to form a waste tire protection unit. Multiple waste tire protection units are connected tangentially in the horizontal direction and overlapped in the vertical direction to form a waste tire protection wall structure. This structure makes full use of the cavity of the semi-circular ring of waste tire A. On the one hand, it allows the poured fluidized solidified soil to be fully bonded to the inner wall of the tire, which effectively improves the overall stability of the fluidized solidified soil. On the other hand, the flexible characteristics of the tire wall and the closed structure effectively isolate the fluidized solidified soil embankment from the external environment, significantly reducing the shrinkage gaps generated between the fluidized solidified soil and the protection wall during the hardening process, and further ensuring the quality of the project.
[0029] (2) The present invention utilizes waste tires to replace reinforced concrete to form a fluid soil protective wall. The structure is simple and has the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion resistant, low cost, and environmentally friendly. At the same time, its construction method is easy to operate, saves manpower and time costs, and is easy to promote and apply. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The reinforcing bar 3 is divided into n+1 segments. The two ends of each segment are welded to the head of a bolt 4.

[0054] Step 3: Pour the fluidized solidified soil in layers.
