Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of design and construction of reinforced concrete caissons, and in particular relates to a caisson structure with adjustable deadweight and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] Caisson is a well structure made on the ground, which is sunk to a certain depth underground by taking out the soil in the well and relying on the caisson's own weight. It is widely used in the field of underground structure engineering. The sinking stability and safety of the caisson are mainly based on two important parameters, namely the sinking coefficient and the sinking stability coefficient. The so-called sinking coefficient is the ratio of the deadweight of the well to the friction resistance of the well wall after the soil at the bottom of the well is taken out. Its value is the ratio of the deadweight of the well to the friction resistance of the well wall after deducting the buoyancy. It should generally be greater than 1.05 and less than 1.25. The so-called sinking stability coefficient is the ratio of the deadweight of the well to the friction resistance of the well wall and the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation soil at the bottom of the caisson after deducting the buoyancy during the sinking process of the caisson. It should generally be less than 1.0. It can be seen from this that during the sinking process of the caisson, the deadweight of the caisson has a great influence on the safety and quality of the caisson construction.

[0003] During the sinking process of the caisson, when encountering a soft soil layer, it often sinks too fast or even suddenly sinks due to the failure to meet the requirements of sinking stability; when encountering a harder rock and soil layer, it often cannot sink smoothly due to excessive friction of the well wall. At present, in construction, soil reinforcement and other methods are often used to solve the problem of sudden sinking of the caisson. The problem of the caisson not being able to sink smoothly is often solved by increasing the structural size and deadweight of the caisson, adding counterweights, and lowering water. The above methods are usually costly and have a long construction period and are difficult to construct. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a caisson structure with adjustable deadweight and a construction method to solve the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0012] S3. During the caisson sinking construction, different media are selected to be filled into the longitudinal pipe according to the sinking speed and soil conditions to adjust the overall weight of the caisson.

[0013] The method for constructing a caisson structure with adjustable deadweight, further comprises: S4, after the caisson construction is completed, filling the longitudinal pipe with slightly expanded fine stone concrete.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are:
