[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment discloses a method for constructing underground structures in narrow areas, dividing the underground construction area into six zones. The method for constructing underground structures in narrow areas includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S1: Construct a support structure at the boundary of the area to be constructed. The support structure includes support piles and / or diaphragm walls, thereby completing the isolation support between the area to be constructed and the outside.

[0034] Prioritizes step S1, selecting support piles and / or diaphragm walls based on the settlement, displacement, and deformation of groundwater and the surrounding environment in the construction area. Double-row pile support is used when the groundwater content is below a threshold and the soil permeability coefficient is less than a threshold; when the groundwater level is higher than the precast concrete, diaphragm walls are used to achieve integrated support and waterproofing.

[0035] Step S2: After the support structure is completed, excavation of the construction area is carried out. In the top area, excavation is carried out along the outer support structure, and inward, excavation is carried out at a slope gentler than 1:1, and supported by a slope protection structure. This is how Zone 1 is formed by excavation.

[0036] Preferably, the slope protection structure in step S2 is a slope-retaining soil nail, which is equipped with a barbed structure. The specifications of the reinforcing bars in the slope-retaining soil nail and the spacing of the reinforcing mesh can be adjusted according to calculations or design requirements.

[0037] Step S3: When the foundation pit is excavated to the preset depth, secondary support is provided with steel sheet piles to form a water-retaining and soil-retaining structure. The construction area of ​​the proposed building is excavated with the steel sheet piles as the boundary to form the underground construction area of ​​the core tube.

[0038] Preferably, in step S3, the sheet piles are driven into the underground soil or permeable layer. In step S3, the top of each sheet pile is supported by a horizontally arranged waler, thereby preventing the sheet piles from tilting inward.

[0039] Specifically, after excavating to a certain depth in Zone 1 of the foundation pit, before proceeding to Zone 2, foundation treatment (including engineering pile construction) and support work (support structure construction) will be carried out within the zone. Zone 2, as the core tube area of ​​the building structure, still requires excavation for initial construction and has a dry working face. In this case, water-stop steel sheet piles can be selected to form an interlocking structure that can both retain soil and stop water. The support piles are driven into the impermeable layer or the weakly permeable layer. During the excavation, the upper part is supported while excavating to ensure the rigidity of the support structure.

[0040] Before excavation in Area 2, advanced steel sheet pile construction was carried out. In this area, steel section piles were used for sheet pile construction, avoiding the waste of mechanical work involved in driving empty piles into the original ground, reducing operational difficulty, and further improving the construction quality of the engineering piles. Steel section pile construction simplified the construction difficulty of pile joints, requiring only bolt connections, rebar lap splices, welding, or mechanical connections. Moreover, the high strength and rigidity of steel sections reduced the number of piles, allowing for the installation of large-span underground spaces without compromising structural bearing capacity.

[0041] Step S4: Complete the construction of the underground part of the core tube of the proposed building in the underground construction area of ​​the core tube, and then carry out the construction of the superstructure and the surrounding area of ​​the underground structure of the core tube.

[0042] Preferably, in step S4, the construction of the area surrounding the upper structure of the core tube includes: attaching and installing vertical conveying equipment on the core tube, wherein the vertical conveying equipment includes at least a construction tower crane and a construction hoist.

[0043] Specifically, once the underground portion of the core tube structure is completed, construction of the superstructure and the surrounding areas of the underground structure (including areas 3 and 4) can proceed simultaneously. The advantages of this construction method are: 1. It increases construction speed by breaking down the work into smaller parts, creating more working surfaces and intersections, and using higher points to drive lower points. Vertical transport equipment such as tower cranes and construction hoists can be attached to the core tube for installation and early commissioning. 2. It optimizes resource allocation. Once the formwork supports within the core tube reach the design strength, they can be dismantled and directly transported to the outer areas via chutes, significantly improving turnover speed and avoiding energy consumption in vertical and horizontal transport. 3. The core tube portion of the main building under construction can serve as a transport channel and anchoring support point for external area construction. Depending on specific geological and environmental requirements, the surrounding areas can be constructed using either forward or reverse methods. Areas 3 and 5 (the area on the left side of the underground core tube) can be constructed using either reverse (or forward) methods, while areas 4 and 6 can be constructed using forward methods.

[0044] Step S5: When the core tunnel of the proposed building is constructed to ±0.00, the roof slab of part of the basement of the proposed building is constructed, and the basement roof slab is sealed. Step S5 also includes constructing support columns to support the basement roof slab.

[0045] Specifically, when the core tube is constructed to ±0.00, the basement roof slab of Zone 3 can be sealed first, the pile heads can be treated, and the structural roof slab of Zone 3 is connected to the continuous capping beam on the support piles and the basement roof slab of the core tube in Zone 1. At this time, the roof slab of Zone 3 can serve as a storage area for construction materials and a construction access passage for the area above ±0 of the core tube. The structural roof slab of Zone 3 can also serve as a lateral support structure for the support piles, so that it is not necessary to install separate support anchors for the protection of this support structure during subsequent excavation.

[0046] Step S6: Using the core tube as an excavation channel, the excavation work of the underground space is gradually completed, thereby completing the excavation work of the first basement floor and the basement floor slab. After the excavation work of the underground space is completed, the underground building is constructed upward from the basement floor slab.

[0047] Preferably, in step S6, during the excavation of the counter-pressure soil in the basement space, anchor bolts are installed while excavating to ensure the stability of the surrounding support structure of the underground construction area.

[0048] The construction method for underground buildings in narrow areas of this invention adopts block and area construction. The bottom area of ​​the core tube is constructed first, and the counterweight soil is reserved to ensure the stability of the foundation pit and the surrounding building environment. The construction of the core tube is carried out first and the perimeter is followed. The center and the perimeter cooperate with each other and interweave to achieve rapid construction.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
