[0002] Offshore wind farms have great development prospects due to their advantages of high wind speed, stable wind force and vast space. my country has abundant offshore wind energy resources, and the exploitable offshore wind energy reserves are about 750 million kW. Offshore wind power generally uses fixed foundations, and grouting connection nodes are widely used in the connection of fixed foundations due to their good mechanical properties and economic performance.

[0003] The grouting connection section transfers the deadweight and wind and wave loads of the upper wind turbine structure to the foundation, and is a crucial connection component in the entire supporting structure. The fatigue problem of the currently commonly used steel pipe structure is prominent, and the harsh marine environment will accelerate the corrosion of steel, which will significantly increase the subsequent operation and maintenance costs. In the single pile foundation or the pile-first method jacket foundation, if UHPC tower or UHPC foundation is used, it can effectively overcome the shortcomings of traditional steel towers and steel piles in manufacturing, durability, economy, etc. Therefore, the development of a simple and reliable UHPC casing-steel pipe grouting connection node is of great significance for practical engineering. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to provide an offshore wind power UHPC casing-steel pipe grouting connection node based on combined force transmission, which can be used for the connection between the UHPC tower and the monopile foundation in offshore wind power, and can also be used for the connection between the conductor frame and the UHPC foundation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: an offshore wind power UHPC casing-steel pipe grouting connection node based on combined force transmission, which comprises a steel pipe, a grouting material and a UHPC casing from the inside to the outside.

[0006] Furthermore, the grouting material is filled in the annular gap formed by the UHPC casing and the steel pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of annular raised steel shear keys are evenly arranged on the outer surface of the steel pipe, and the steel shear keys are welded to the outer surface of the steel pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a conversion steel pipe, a plurality of PBL shear keys, a plurality of annular reinforcements and longitudinal reinforcements are arranged in the UHPC casing.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of annular raised steel shear keys are evenly arranged on the inner surface of the conversion steel pipe, and the steel shear keys are welded to the inner surface of the conversion steel pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the PBL shear key is in the form of a long strip plate structure, and is penetrated by a plurality of circular holes arranged at intervals along its length direction; the plurality of circular holes are arranged at equal intervals, the diameter of the circular holes is d=0.2-0.5b, and the spacing of the circular holes is s≥2.25d, wherein d is the diameter of the circular holes, s is the spacing of the circular holes, and b is the width of the shear key.

[0011] Furthermore, the PBL shear key is vertically welded to the outer surface of the conversion steel pipe, and the outer surface of the conversion steel pipe is attached to the inner surface of the UHPC casing.

[0012] Furthermore, the annular reinforcement passes through the circular hole on the PBL shear key, and the longitudinal reinforcement is bound with the annular reinforcement as a whole.

[0013] Furthermore, the steel shear keys on the outer surface of the steel pipe and the steel shear keys on the inner surface of the conversion steel pipe are arranged alternately.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the PBL shear key and the conversion steel pipe is consistent with the height of the grouting node.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0016] (1) The installation of conversion steel pipes can effectively constrain the lateral deformation of the grouting nodes, thereby improving the stiffness, strength and ductility of the grouting nodes.

[0017] (2) By setting PBL shear keys to connect the UHPC casing and the conversion steel pipe as a whole, not only the integrity of the node is improved, but also the combined effect between steel and UHPC is increased, which can effectively reduce the thickness of the steel pipe; setting PBL shear keys can also effectively transmit the interface shear force, thereby transferring the self-weight and wind and wave loads of the upper wind turbine structure to the foundation.

[0018] (3) The offshore wind power UHPC casing-steel pipe grouting connection node based on combined force transmission has good integrity, high rigidity, high bearing capacity, excellent fatigue resistance, impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and has the advantages of both steel structure and concrete structure, and has significant advantages in carbon emissions. At the same time, it can reduce the serious corrosion problem of steel and reduce the cost of later operation and maintenance of the structure, so it has high economic and social benefits.
