Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a crushed stone pile-sealed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of global warming, highway subgrades in permafrost areas often have serious uneven settlement. In order to alleviate the problems caused by permafrost settlement, the block stone subgrade has been widely used in permafrost areas and has become a typical special subgrade structure in permafrost areas. Its characteristics are that there are a large number of pores inside the block stone, and the air inside can play an active cooling effect under the action of convective heat transfer. Studies have shown that even if the roadbed slope is covered by wind and snow to prevent the inflow of external airflow, the pores inside the crushed stone can still produce convective heat transfer under the action of temperature gradient to achieve the purpose of cooling. However, this method still has the problem of being unable to directly transfer cold energy to the permafrost layer for cooling. The cold energy transfer process needs to pass through the active active layer, and there is serious cold energy attenuation. At the same time, the melting settlement and creep deformation of the permafrost foundation seriously restrict the safe and stable operation of the highway subgrade, and it is necessary to use appropriate methods to reinforce the foundation. Concrete piles are currently widely used in permafrost areas to reinforce foundations. However, due to the heat release of cement hydration, the permafrost will often be warmed and melted, and it is difficult to actively cool the permafrost foundation. In order to take into account the effects of permafrost cooling and foundation reinforcement at the same time, a new composite foundation structure needs to be designed to meet the use needs of permafrost areas.

[0003] For soft soil foundations, geogrid reinforced gravel piles are a commonly used foundation reinforcement method. Patent CN202110116353.8 discloses a reinforced gravel pile-supported EPS lightweight embankment structure and construction method in soft soil areas; Patent CN202311223601.4 discloses a method for regional reinforcement of liquefied lateral large deformation foundations by reinforced gravel piles combined with grouting. These inventions apply reinforced gravel piles to soft foundations with high water content, utilizing the drainage function of the pores in the gravel piles, but after the pile body is filled with water, the convective heat exchange of air cannot be completed in the gravel piles. Patent CN202010812169.2 discloses a reinforced hot-melt pile / reinforced gravel pile composite roadbed structure in degraded permafrost areas. This structure is mainly used for active melting of frozen soil and foundation drainage, and also does not have the effect of active cooling. Therefore, the currently disclosed reinforced gravel piles use geogrids or woven geotextiles as the wrapping reinforcement material, and their main function is limited to drainage, and they cannot have a cooling effect on permafrost foundations. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the current technical problem that it is difficult to effectively cool and reinforce permafrost foundations at the same time, and to provide a geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas.

[0005] The permafrost region geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure of the present invention comprises, from bottom to top, a permafrost foundation 1, a geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile, an unfrozen foundation 3, a drainage sand cushion layer 4, a closed block stone roadbed 5, a pavement base layer 6 and a pavement surface layer 7;

[0006] The outside of the geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile is a hollow geomembrane cylinder 9, and the inner cavity is divided into two parts, the lower part is a mixed part 8 of polymer and gravel, the polymer is a low-exothermic polymer, and the polymer bonds the gravel and the geomembrane together through solidification, and the mixed part 8 of polymer and gravel penetrates into the permafrost foundation 1 to play the effect of sealing the pile body and increasing the end bearing effect; above the mixed part 8 of polymer and gravel is a pure gravel part 2, the lower end of the pure gravel part 2 penetrates into the permafrost foundation 1, and the upper end of the mixed part 8 of polymer and gravel is in close contact with the lower end of the pure gravel part 2; the pure gravel part 2 passes through the unfrozen foundation 3 and the drainage sand cushion layer 4 in turn, and the top of the pure gravel part 2 is located in the closed block stone roadbed 5; the side of the closed block stone roadbed 5 is sealed with asphalt mortar to prevent external moisture from penetrating into the foundation.

[0007] The present invention selects a low-exothermic polymer, which releases little heat when solidifying, and can avoid the melting of permafrost as much as possible. The rapid bonding effect of the polymer during solidification is used to bond the crushed stone and the geomembrane together, thereby achieving a sealing effect on the lower part. At the same time, the polymer can increase the strength of the crushed stone and improve the bearing capacity of the pile end.

[0008] The low exothermic polymer of the present invention is specifically a low exothermic polyurethane material, which is an existing material. Reference can be made to patent CN115467208B. Like ordinary two-component polyurethane materials, it is a two-component non-aqueous reactive polyurethane composed of polyols and isocyanates as main reaction components, and is made by adding appropriate amounts of foaming and catalysts. While continuing the excellent properties of ordinary two-component polyurethane materials, this material also has the advantages of low heat release during the reaction process and little impact on the temperature environment around the grouting area. It can be used as a grouting material for engineering repair in frozen soil areas.

[0009] The geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite piles, the permafrost foundation 1 and the unfrozen foundation 3 together form a composite foundation, which effectively improves the bearing capacity of the permafrost foundation.

[0010] The upper part of the geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile penetrates the unfrozen soil foundation 3 and the drainage sand cushion layer 4, and is directly connected to the closed block stone roadbed 5, forming a block stone roadbed-reinforced gravel pile through-air convection heat exchange channel. The drainage sand cushion layer 4 can prevent moisture in the unfrozen soil foundation 3 from rising and entering the roadbed and pile structure.

[0011] The road base layer 6 and the road surface layer 7 are paved in layers on the closed block stone roadbed 5 to bear the effect of traffic load.

[0012] The construction process of the geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas of the present invention is as follows:

[0013] Step 1: First, determine the distribution of permafrost along the proposed highway, determine the upper limit of permafrost and permafrost temperature through drilling, determine the length, diameter, pile spacing and layout of geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite piles based on on-site survey data, and ensure the bearing capacity of the foundation through mechanical calculations;

[0014] Step 2: Choose a time period when the temperature is below 0°C to carry out pile foundation construction to minimize thermal disturbance to the permafrost foundation 1, clean and level the surface of the proposed roadbed, lay a 30 cm thick drainage sand cushion layer 4 and compact it, then drill holes at the corresponding pile hole positions and carefully remove the soil in the holes, and immediately lower the pre-made double-sided composite geomembrane sleeve 9 after drilling, and ensure that the top of the sleeve is higher than the top surface of the drainage sand cushion layer 4;

[0015] Step 3: insert a casing into the double-sided composite geomembrane sleeve, and pour a mixture of polymer and gravel prepared in advance into the hole along the casing. The two can be mixed in advance and the gravel is immersed in the polymer. The polymer is a low exothermic polymer; after filling to the elevation, pull out the casing. The filling height of the mixed part 8 of polymer and gravel is 50cm. Naturally solidify for 24 hours. The rapid bonding effect of the polymer bonds the gravel and the geomembrane together, which has the effect of sealing the lower part;

[0016] Step 4: Continue to fill the hole with gravel in layers and tamp it appropriately until it reaches the top surface of the drainage sand cushion layer 4. During the construction process, ensure that no water is poured into the gravel pile. After the gravel pile construction is completed, level the site again and level the drainage sand cushion layer 4. If the geomembrane sleeve on the pile top is too long, it can be properly cut;

[0017] Step 5: After the pile foundation is constructed, a closed block stone roadbed 5 is built on top of the pile foundation and compacted. After the roadbed is filled, asphalt mortar is applied to the side slopes of the closed block stone roadbed 5 to seal the block stone roadbed laterally to prevent water infiltration.

[0018] Step 6: After the roadbed is constructed, the road base layer 6 and the road surface layer 7 are layered on the structure.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] 1. The geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas of the present invention is suitable for highway roadbed construction in permafrost areas. The convection heat exchange process of the internal gas can be completed through the external closure formed by the geomembrane-wrapped gravel pile and the block stone roadbed and the internal porous medium channel, so that the gas convection cooling effect is extended to the permafrost layer, which has a more direct and efficient cooling effect;

[0021] 2. The geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas described in the present invention uses a double-sided composite geomembrane as a wrapping reinforcement material, which can prevent moisture in the foundation from penetrating into the gravel pile and destroying the gas flow channel while enhancing the strength of the pile body;

[0022] 3. The geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-enclosed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas of the present invention uses low-exothermic polymer gravel filler underneath, which can ensure the sealing effect of the pile bottom together with the geomembrane to prevent water infiltration. At the same time, the low-exothermic polymer can reduce the thermal disturbance to the permafrost and enhance the bearing capacity of the pile end;

[0023] 4. The geomembrane-wrapped gravel / polymer gravel composite pile-sealed block stone composite roadbed structure in permafrost areas described in the present invention has the effects of both foundation cooling and reinforcement, can reduce the thawing settlement of the roadbed caused by the warming and melting of permafrost, and also enhance the overall bearing capacity of the composite foundation, reducing the settlement and deformation of the seasonal active layer above the permafrost layer, thus killing two birds with one stone.
