Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft soil foundation reinforcement, in particular to a method for treating a soft soil foundation by combining flocculation, vacuum, electroosmosis and strong compaction. Background Art

[0002] At present, in order to ease the land shortage contradiction, coastal cities need to form a large amount of land through sea reclamation. The fill used for sea reclamation is generally made of dredged silt from harbors and waterways, which is hydraulically filled to form land sites. The moisture content is as high as 80% or more, and the newly filled sites can even reach about 200%. In addition, due to hydraulic sorting, the upper soil layer of the soft soil foundation has extremely fine particles, mainly clay and colloid particles, and the connection between particles is very weak. A strong soil skeleton structure has not yet been formed, and the soil particles have strong fluidity with water. Soft clay has many unfavorable engineering properties such as high water content, high compressibility, high thixotropy, and low shear strength. High compressibility will cause considerable settlement and settlement difference in the foundation; low permeability makes the settlement last for a long time, which may affect the normal use of buildings; low strength makes the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation often fail to meet engineering requirements. Therefore, how to effectively, quickly and economically reinforce such ultra-soft foundations has become a technical problem that must be solved.

[0003] Among them, the vacuum-electroosmosis combined method has become one of the more effective and promising methods for soft soil foundation treatment. Although the vacuum-electroosmosis combined method has obvious advantages in treating soft soil foundations, it also has problems: 1) The vacuum degree is seriously lost as the depth of the soft soil increases, and the drainage effect on the deep soil is poor; 2) The strength of the soft soil foundation after drainage and consolidation does not meet the requirements of the engineering project for the foundation, and the bearing capacity is weak. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for treating soft soil foundation by combining flocculation-vacuum-electroosmosis-dynamic compaction. The method combines the flocculation-vacuum-electroosmosis-dynamic compaction procedures to increase the treatment efficiency of soft soil foundation and has a good consolidation effect on the soil.

[0005] The present invention is completed by adopting the following technical scheme: a method for treating soft soil foundation by combining flocculation-vacuum-electroosmosis-strong compaction, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Flocculation treatment: adding PAM flocculant to the mud in the mud pool for mud flocculation treatment;

[0007] S2. Lay a vacuum preloading drainage system, insert a drainage device into the flocculated mud, and connect the drainage device to the vacuum pump through the drainage main pipe;

Laying an electroosmotic system, inserting an electroosmotic component into the mud, the electroosmotic component is composed of an anode electroosmotic component and a cathode electroosmotic component, the anode electroosmotic component and the cathode electroosmotic component are inserted into the mud pool at intervals, and the anode electroosmotic component and the cathode electroosmotic component are connected to the corresponding external DC power supply through wires;

[0009] S4. Lay geotextile on the upper surface of the mud, turn on the vacuum pump for vacuum preloading and drainage, and turn on the external DC power supply for vacuum-electroosmosis combined drainage in the later stage of vacuum preloading;

[0010] S5. Strong compaction treatment: the compaction machine first uses point compaction and then full compaction to complete the soft soil foundation.

[0011] Furthermore, the drainage device in S2 includes a plurality of drainage boards, and the plurality of drainage boards are uniformly inserted into the mud. The top and bottom of the drainage boards are connected to sealing joints, and the sealing joints are respectively connected to an external vacuum pump through drainage pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the cathode electroosmosis component is arranged near the drainage device.

[0014] Furthermore, the electro-osmotic component is a steel bar, the cathode electro-osmotic component is a cathode steel bar, and the anode electro-osmotic component is an anode steel bar.

[0015] Furthermore, in S2, the drainage device is a plurality of permeable piles, which are inserted into the flocculated mud at intervals, and the pile bodies of the permeable piles are evenly provided with a plurality of permeable openings. A drainage pipe system is arranged in the permeable piles, and the top of the drainage pipe system is exposed to the top of the mud, and the top of the drainage pipe system is connected to the main drainage pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the cathode electroosmosis component includes a plurality of cathode electroosmosis sheets, which are evenly fixed on the surface of the permeable pile and connected to an external DC power supply through a cathode wire. The anode electroosmosis component is a plurality of anode steel bars, which are inserted between adjacent cathode electroosmosis components.

[0017] Furthermore, the drainage pipe system includes a drainage main pipe and a plurality of flexible drainage branch pipes. The top of the drainage main pipe is conductively connected to the drainage main pipe. A plurality of flexible drainage branch pipes are evenly arranged on the drainage main pipe. The flexible drainage branch pipes are conductively connected to the drainage main pipe. A plug ring is provided at the outer end of the flexible drainage branch pipe. The plug ring is sleeved at the water permeable port. The bottom of the drainage main pipe is provided with a bottom pile plug.

[0018] Furthermore, in S4, the vacuum pump is turned on, and vacuum preloading drainage is performed through the flexible drainage branch pipe, the drainage main pipe and the drainage main pipe. In the later stage of vacuum preloading, the external DC power supply is turned on for vacuum-electroosmosis combined drainage. After the drainage is completed, the drainage main pipe is removed, and the drainage pipe system is removed from the permeable pile. Then, cement mortar is poured into the hollow part of the permeable pile. The cement mortar seeps out from the bottom and side permeable ports of the permeable pile. When the cement mortar forms an expanded and solidified end at the bottom of the permeable pile, cement mud seeps out from the permeable port and solidifies with the mud around the pile.

The cement mortar forms an expanded and solidified end at the bottom of the permeable pile. At the same time, the cement mud seeps out from the permeable port and solidifies with the mud around the pile, providing bearing capacity for the treated soft soil foundation and improving the stability and firmness of the foundation.
