Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new construction and reconstruction engineering technology for municipal roads or highways, and in particular to a method for connecting roadbeds based on solidification technology. Background Technology

[0002] At the cut-fill junction of newly built roads and the junction of new and old roads in reconstruction and expansion, the uneven settlement of the roadbed on both sides of the junction often leads to uneven settlement of the roadbed, affecting the stability and durability of the road structure. Commonly used measures for the connection of cut-fill junction and new and old roadbed include step excavation, layer-by-layer laying of geotextiles, surcharge or natural settlement, etc. The main problems are: (1) the quality requirements of the backfill soil for step excavation are high, and the utilization rate of the original soil in the existing site is low; (2) layer-by-layer laying of geotextiles is relatively complicated, and large machinery is not suitable for compaction on the geotextiles, the construction period is long, and the quality is difficult to control; (3) the construction period of roadbed surcharge preloading and natural settlement is long.

[0003] In summary, conventional methods involve large amounts of borrowed earthwork, utilize little of the original soil, are environmentally unfriendly, require numerous construction procedures, have high project costs, and struggle to guarantee quality. Therefore, a new roadbed connection technology is needed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a roadbed connection method based on solidification technology. This method achieves organic connection at the junction of the old and new roadbeds by laying a solidified soil transition layer composed of undisturbed soil treated with solidification technology. This improves environmental friendliness, ease of construction, reliability, and economy.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A roadbed connection method based on solidification technology is used for connecting two different roadbeds, the two roadbeds including a first roadbed and a second roadbed, characterized by comprising the following methods:

[0007] Based on the working area of ​​the roadbed at the junction between the first roadbed and the second roadbed, a solidified soil transition layer is set between them, and the solidified soil transition layer covers the working area of ​​the roadbed.

[0008] Based on the expected load above the first and second roadbeds, the range and number of layers of the solidified soil transition layer are designed. The range of the solidified soil transition layer refers to the length of the solidified soil transition layer extending into the first or second roadbed, with one end located at the first roadbed and the other end at the second roadbed. The number of layers of the solidified soil transition layer refers to the provision of one or more solidified soil transition layers between the first and second roadbeds along the height direction of the roadbed.

[0009] The solidified soil transition layer is backfilled and compacted in layers, with each layer not exceeding 0.3m in thickness.

[0010] A stepped structure is constructed between the first roadbed and the second roadbed, with the height of each step matching the thickness of the solidified soil transition layer, and one end of the solidified soil transition layer being placed on the step.

[0011] The overall thickness of the solidified soil transition layer is achieved by superimposing the corresponding solidified soil transition layer on each of the stepped steps.

[0012] A seepage-proof geotextile is laid on the top surface of the solidified soil transition layer to form a seepage-proof pavement structure.

[0013] An impermeable geotextile is laid on the bottom surface of the solidified soil transition layer and a drainage ditch or blind pipe is installed inside. At the same time, the embankment is filled with permeable materials.

[0014] The solidified soil transition layer includes undisturbed soil and a solidifying agent, wherein the organic matter content of the undisturbed soil is no more than 10%.

[0015] The advantages of this invention are:

[0016] (1) The roadbed at the junction adopts the solidified soil technology to form a solidified soil transition layer structure similar to a "board", which is more conducive to ensuring the integrity and stability of both sides of the junction and effectively reducing uneven settlement.

[0017] (2) The main materials of the solidified soil transition layer structure are existing soil and solidifying agent. The types of materials are relatively few, and the materials are readily available locally, which is environmentally friendly and saves costs.

[0018] (3) The main machinery is basically the same as the roadbed treatment machinery, and the technology is mature and construction is convenient;

[0019] (4) Reduce the laying of geotextiles, reduce the number of procedures, and save construction time;

[0020] (5) For roads of different grades and with different traffic volume requirements, the length and thickness of the solidified soil transition layer can be adjusted to meet the connection requirements, making the design and construction more flexible. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example: Figures 1 to 4As shown, the roadbed connection method based on solidification technology in this embodiment is used for the connection between two different roadbeds, including the cut-fill junction of newly built roads and the junction of old and new roads in reconstruction and expansion projects. The main principle is to lay a solidified soil transition layer similar to a "slab" at the junction of different roadbeds. The main materials of the solidified soil transition layer are undisturbed soil and solidifying agent. The organic matter content of the undisturbed soil or the treated undisturbed soil should not exceed 10%, and the moisture content and other indicators must meet the requirements of the selected solidifying agent.

[0030] In this embodiment, the solidified soil transition layer exhibits higher integrity and stability than typical roadbeds. Its thickness covers the entire working area of ​​the roadbed, meaning the load at the junction is primarily borne by the solidified soil transition layer. According to the theory of elastic homogeneous half-space roadbeds, the working area for medium and small vehicle roadbeds is approximately 0.9m-1.3m, and for large vehicle roadbeds, it is approximately 1.6m-2.4m. According to the "Highway Roadbed Design Specification" (JTG D30), generally, the thickness of the roadbed (working area) for light, medium, and heavy traffic is 0.8m, and for extra-heavy and extremely heavy traffic roadbeds (working area) it is 1.2m. This embodiment comprehensively considers the theory of elastic homogeneous half-space roadbeds, relevant roadbed specifications, and economic considerations, and rationally selects the thickness of the solidified soil transition layer for two scenarios: low-grade roads or roads with low traffic volume, and high-grade roads or roads with high traffic volume. The length of the solidified soil transition layer is taken as the length and width of the largest common vehicle on the road, i.e., a typical heavy truck, about 10m long and 3.0m wide. It is the length of the solidified soil transition layer in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the driving direction) and the transverse direction (perpendicular to the driving direction).

[0031] For the cut-fill junction of newly constructed roads, a longitudinally extending solidified soil transition layer needs to be laid at the cut-fill junction along the driving direction, i.e., between cut section A and fill section B, and a laterally extending solidified soil transition layer needs to be laid at the cut-fill junction perpendicular to the driving direction.

[0032] The design of the solidified soil transition layer for solidified soil subgrade is as follows: (1) For low-grade roads or roads with small traffic volumes, a solidified soil transition layer shall be laid together for the excavated and embanked sections after over-excavation. The solidified soil transition layer shall be located at the subgrade, with a thickness of not less than 0.8m and not more than 1.0m. The longitudinal solidified soil transition layer should be 10m long, and the transverse solidified soil transition layer should be 3m long. (2) For high-grade roads or roads with large traffic volumes, a solidified soil transition layer shall be laid together for the excavated and embanked sections after over-excavation. The solidified soil transition layer shall be located at the subgrade, with a thickness of not less than 1.2m and not more than 2.0m. The longitudinal solidified soil transition layer should be 10m long, and the transverse solidified soil transition layer should be 3m long. (3) The thickness of the solidified soil transition layer for special vehicles or special traffic sections shall be in accordance with the "Specifications for Design of Highway Subgrade" (JTG). (4) The solidified soil transition layer is backfilled and compacted in layers, with each layer not exceeding 0.3m in thickness; (5) When the thickness of the solidified soil transition layer exceeds 1m, steps are constructed according to the cut-fill boundary line, with a step height not exceeding 1m and a step length preferably 1m; at this time, one end of the solidified soil transition layer is partially overlapped on the step to ensure effective load transfer; (6) In areas with high precipitation, a seepage-proof pavement structure is adopted, and a seepage-proof geotextile is laid on the top surface of the solidified soil transition layer; (7) In areas with high groundwater levels, drainage blind ditches or blind pipes are set in the solidified soil transition layer, and a seepage-proof geotextile is laid under the solidified soil transition layer. The fill roadbed is filled with materials with good permeability; (8) When the original soil is poor roadbed soil, the original soil can be treated before the roadbed and solidified soil transition layer can be constructed.

[0033] For the junction of the old and new roads in the reconstruction and expansion project, namely between the original road C and the widened road D, the design of the transverse solidified soil transition layer of the solidified soil subgrade is as follows: (1) For low-grade roads or roads with small traffic volume, the solidified soil transition layer is set at the subgrade, with a thickness of not less than 0.8m and not more than 1.0m, and a length preferably of 3m; (2) For high-grade roads or roads with large traffic volume, the solidified soil transition layer is set at the subgrade, with a thickness of not less than 1.2m and not more than 2.0m, and a length preferably of 3m; (3) The thickness of the solidified soil transition layer for special vehicles or special traffic sections should be in accordance with the "Specifications for Design of Highway Subgrade" (JTG). (4) The solidified soil transition layer is backfilled and compacted in layers, with each layer not exceeding 0.3m in thickness; (5) When the thickness of the solidified soil transition layer exceeds 1m, steps are constructed according to the boundary between the old and new road surfaces. The height of the steps does not exceed 1m, and the length of the steps should be 1m. At this time, one end of the solidified soil transition layer is partially overlapped on the steps to ensure the effective transfer of load; (6) The overlap is made at the junction of the old and new road surfaces to prevent water seepage to the solidified soil transition layer of the road surface; depending on the groundwater level, drainage blind ditches or blind pipes and anti-seepage geotextiles can be set in the solidified soil transition layer; (7) When the original soil of the reconstructed and expanded road section is poor roadbed soil, the original soil can be treated before the roadbed and solidified soil transition layer can be constructed.

[0034] Based on the design method of this embodiment, a structure is formed as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The four scenarios are as follows:
