Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep foundation pit construction technology, specifically a steel cross bracing axial force system and construction method for controlling the deformation of foundation pit lattice columns. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's construction industry, the utilization rate of underground space is increasing, and deep foundation pit projects are becoming more and more common. As a crucial vertical load-bearing structure in the deep foundation pit support system, lattice columns play a vital role in maintaining the stability of deep foundation pits. In deep foundation pits, lattice columns are typically used to support horizontal supports and working platforms. Under pressure, lattice columns are prone to deformation. Eccentric compression deformation weakens the vertical load-bearing capacity of the lattice columns, severely affecting the stability of the deep foundation pit and posing safety risks. Eccentric compression deformation of lattice columns is often unavoidable and develops rapidly, bringing significant safety hazards to foundation pit construction. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a steel cross bracing axial force system to control the deformation of lattice columns in foundation pits to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A steel cross bracing axial force system and construction method for controlling the deformation of lattice columns in foundation pits include: a foundation pit retaining structure, lattice columns, and a steel cross bracing servo axial force system. Each of the foundation pit retaining structure, lattice columns, and steel cross bracing servo axial force system comprises several sets, with each set of lattice columns connected to one end of the steel cross bracing servo axial force system on all four sides, forming a large rectangular structure with a cross-section composed of several small rectangles. The other end of the outermost steel cross bracing servo axial force system is connected to the foundation pit retaining structure. The steel cross bracing servo axial force system is used to monitor the stress on the lattice columns and simultaneously provide support.
[0006] The lattice column includes: angle steel and connecting plates. Several sets of angle steel and connecting plates are provided. The several sets of angle steel are arranged in a biaxially symmetrical manner to form a column structure with a rectangular cross section. The connecting plates are arranged parallel to each other at equal intervals around the angle steel and connected to it.
[0007] The steel cross brace servo axial force system includes: a steel sleeve, plug-in steel cross braces, deformation monitoring sensors, a monitoring system, and hydraulic jacks. The steel sleeve is located in the middle section of the lattice column, and one end is connected to the middle section of the lattice column. The two ends of the plug-in steel cross braces are respectively plugged into the other ends of two sets of steel sleeves. The deformation monitoring sensors are installed in the middle of the lattice column and connected to the gusset plate for real-time monitoring of the bending deformation of the lattice column. The monitoring system and the hydraulic jacks are both located inside the steel sleeve and are electrically connected via a communication line. The deformation monitoring sensors and the monitoring system are electrically connected via a communication line. The output end of the hydraulic jack is connected to one end of the telescopic rod, and the other end of the telescopic rod abuts against the pressure plate. The pressure plate is installed on the plug-in steel cross braces.
[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the steel casing includes: an installation end and an interface end, the installation end being located in the middle section of the lattice column and connected to the outer wall of the upper gusset plate of the lattice column by welding, and the interface end being used to connect to the plug-in steel cross brace.
[0009] A construction method for a steel cross bracing axial force system for controlling the deformation of lattice columns in foundation pits includes the following steps:
[0010] S1. Lattice Column Preparation and Construction: The lattice column uses Q235B steel and E43XX welding rods. The welds are all 10-20mm thick. The center spacing of the lacing plates is 450mm. Four angle steels are arranged in a double-axis symmetrical manner to form a column structure with a rectangular cross-section. The lacing plates are welded from the bottom of the angle steel to the top. The distance between the last lacing plate and the top of the column structure is adjustable. During welding, the number of weld joints of a single lattice column shall not exceed two. Bevel welding is used. The joints of the single angle steels shall be staggered. The lattice column is positioned, the positioning point is determined, and it is hoisted and installed. After the lattice column is placed, it is reinforced and connected with steel sections and welded to the steel cage. Concrete is poured for fixation.
[0011] S2. Construction of the steel casing installation end: The two installation ends of the steel cross brace servo axial force system end structure are connected to the outer side of the gusset plate in the middle section of the adjacent lattice column by welding. Bevel welding is used. The installation end is symmetrically welded with four right-angle supports on the lattice column to ensure the stability of the connection between the installation end and the lattice column. The two installation ends of the steel cross brace servo axial force system end structure at the outer edge of the foundation pit can be connected to the lattice column and the foundation pit retaining structure respectively.
[0012] S3. Construction of plug-in steel cross brace: The two ends of the plug-in steel cross brace are respectively connected to the interface end of the steel sleeve box and set horizontally on the same axis. The plug-in steel cross brace can be freely inserted into the interface end, and a layer of lubricating oil is applied to the interface section. A pressure plate is installed inside the plug-in steel cross brace.
[0013] S4. Deformation monitoring sensor installation: The deformation monitoring sensor is installed on the inside of the gusset plate in the middle section of the lattice column to monitor the deformation of the lattice column in real time and transmit the monitoring data to the monitoring system.
[0014] S5. Control and Monitoring System Connection: The monitoring system connects to external deformation monitoring sensors and hydraulic jacks via communication lines. The deformation monitoring sensors can monitor the stress and deformation of the lattice column in real time. The monitoring system can process, analyze, and record the deformation data of the lattice column in real time, and send command signals to the hydraulic jacks to accurately control the bending deformation of the lattice column in real time. When the lattice column bends under the pressure of horizontal support or working platform in the deep foundation pit, the deformation monitoring sensors transmit the data to the monitoring system. After analyzing and processing the data, the monitoring system controls the hydraulic jacks to apply axial jacking force to ensure the stress safety of the lattice column.
[0015] S6. Applying prestress with hydraulic jacks: After the steel cross brace servo axial force system is installed, hydraulic jacks apply a certain amount of prestress to prevent the lattice column from bending and deforming.

The system includes a steel sleeve, plug-in steel cross braces, deformation monitoring sensors, a monitoring system, and hydraulic jacks. The deformation monitoring sensors can monitor the deformation parameters of the foundation pit lattice columns and transmit the detected variables to the monitoring system. After the monitoring system receives and processes the deformation, it transmits the data to the hydraulic jacks to drive the telescopic rods forward. During this process, the deformation monitoring sensors adjust the axial pressure and feed speed of the steel cross braces according to the deformation status of the lattice columns. This automatically adjustable steel cross brace servo axial force system can fully ensure the effectiveness of the steel cross braces and improve their practicality.
