Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of enhancing the anti-lifting and bearing capacity of pile bodies under soft foundations, namely enhancing the strength of pile bodies, and in particular to a method for casting tree root-like piles under soft foundations. Background Art

[0002] When pouring piles on soft foundations, many problems will be faced. Due to the low bearing capacity of soft foundations, they may not be able to bear the weight of buildings or structures, resulting in excessive foundation settlement, affecting the stability and safety of the building. In addition, soft foundations may also have uneven settlement, causing cracks, tilting and other problems in buildings. For example, in some construction projects in coastal areas or by rivers and lakes, due to the uneven settlement of soft foundations, serious cracks appear in buildings, even affecting their normal use. Therefore, the necessity of using imitation tree root piles is highlighted. The working principle of imitation tree root piles is mainly to use the friction between the pile body and the soil and the bearing capacity of the pile end to improve the strength and stability of the foundation. The shape and structure of the pile body are similar to tree roots, with a large surface area and branches, which can better combine with the soil and increase the friction between the pile body and the soil. At the same time, the pile end can penetrate into the harder soil layer to improve the bearing capacity of the pile body. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention provides a device and method for casting tree root-like piles under a soft foundation. The steel round sleeve described in this method has evenly opened openings on both sides for inserting a steel square sleeve. The concrete structure cast in the steel round sleeve serves as a "stump", and the concrete structure cast in the steel square sleeve serves as a "root". During the grouting process, the lower side of the steel square sleeve is not closed, and the slurry displaces the soft soil and expands outward, thereby increasing the volume of the "root" and preventing the formed "root" from being destroyed due to excessive bending moment. After the entire structure is formed, a structure in the shape of a tree stump is formed, and the friction between the pile body and the soil body and the bearing capacity of the pile end are used to improve the strength and stability of the foundation.

[0004] In order to realize the above technical features, the object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a device for casting tree root-like piles under a soft foundation, comprising a steel round sleeve, the side of the steel round sleeve is evenly opened, the opening is used to drive a steel square sleeve, a limiting steel plate is welded on one side of the steel square sleeve, and expansion concrete is poured into the steel square sleeve by a high-pressure grouting machine to form a tree root-like concrete structure; Also included is a puller for pulling out the steel square sleeve, which pulls out the sleeve by engaging a clip on the steel square sleeve.

[0005] One side of the steel square sleeve is not closed, and during the grouting process, the slurry will flow in the direction where the steel square sleeve is not closed, expanding the volume of the structure; at the same time, there are three limiting steel plates on the edge of the steel square sleeve to prevent the steel square sleeve from being driven too deep into the soil. Concave buckles are designed on both sides of the limiting steel plates, and then it can be pulled out of the soil under the action of the puller.

[0006] The high-pressure grouting machine is used to convey expansive concrete to provide grouting pressure to make the slurry material and soft soil more compact. It also includes auger drills used for drilling holes. The auger drill excavates excess soil through spiral blades during the excavation process.

[0007] A method for casting simulated tree root piles under a soft foundation, the method is implemented by using the device for casting simulated tree root piles under a soft foundation, and comprises the following steps: Step 1, material preparation, prepare steel round sleeve, steel square sleeve, expansive concrete, limit steel plate, clip, high pressure grouting machine, auger, grouting pipe and puller; Step 2, site preparation, clean and level the soft foundation to ensure the safety and stability of the construction site, and determine the location and spacing of the simulated tree root piles according to the design requirements; Step 3, use a spiral drill to drill holes in the soft foundation. The diameter and depth of the holes should be determined according to the design requirements. During the drilling process, the steel round sleeve is installed. During the whole process, attention should be paid to controlling the verticality and diameter of the holes to ensure the quality of the pile body. Step 4. After the steel round sleeve is installed, drive the steel square sleeve into the opening on the side of the steel round sleeve until the limiting steel plate supports the side of the steel round sleeve, and clean the excess soil in the steel square sleeve; Step 5, prepare the high-pressure grouting machine, connect the grouting pipe, and pour the expansive concrete into the steel square sleeve from bottom to top. The steel square sleeve should be pulled out while grouting; Step 6, after the grouting of the steel square sleeve is completed, quickly start grouting into the steel round sleeve, and pull out the steel round sleeve while grouting; Step 7, after grouting is completed, vibrate and add fluid.

[0008] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. The branch structure of the tree root-simulating pile in the present invention can be closely integrated with the surrounding soil, increasing the contact area between the pile and the soil, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the foundation.

[0009] 2. The anchoring effect of the branches in the present invention can effectively resist the load of the superstructure and reduce the settlement and deformation of the foundation.

[0010] 3. The anchoring structure formed by the pile body and branches in the present invention can limit the lateral displacement and sliding of the soil and improve the stability of the foundation. For projects such as slopes and embankments in soft foundations, the tree root pile reinforcement technology can effectively prevent landslides and collapses of the soil.

[0011] 4. The tree root piles of the present invention can be designed and constructed according to different geological conditions, and are suitable for various soft foundations, such as silt, muddy soil, silt, sandy soil, etc. For areas with complex geological conditions, the tree root pile reinforcement technology can provide an effective solution.

[0012] 5. The construction process of the tree root pile imitation of the present invention is relatively simple and can be constructed using conventional construction equipment.

[0013] 6. The tree root pile reinforcement technology of the present invention does not require a large amount of earth excavation and backfilling, and has little impact on the surrounding environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
