Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of karst ground collapse control, and in particular relates to a composite control method for karst ground collapse in an overburden layer. Background Art
[0002] The collapse of the karst ground in the overburden layer is a common geological disaster in karst areas. The fundamental reason for the collapse of the overburden layer caused by engineering construction lies in the change of hydrogeological conditions: on the one hand, groundwater is lost rapidly along the favorable discharge points formed by underground engineering construction, and on the other hand, due to surface water and soil erosion, precipitation and surface water can directly replenish groundwater. The contrast of the strength of replenishment and discharge in time leads to frequent and drastic rise and fall of groundwater. The seepage and vacuum erosion caused by the drop in water level continuously erode the overburden soil layer, and the high-pressure expansion caused by the rise in water level destroys the originally stable soil arch structure, resulting in continuous loss of the overburden soil and eventually ground collapse.
[0003] At present, the commonly used measures for controlling collapse in karst areas are mainly: beam-slab spanning method, grouting sealing method, backfilling method and pressure unloading method.
[0004] The beam-slab spanning method uses a beam-slab structure to span the openings of karst caves to protect the upper structure from collapse. It is an engineering measure aimed at avoiding disasters and does not interfere with the occurrence and development of collapse. The collapse will continue to evolve until it stabilizes naturally, resulting in permanent soil erosion and destruction of the natural landscape.
[0005] The grouting plugging method has good short-term treatment effects by plugging the pores of the karst caves with grouting, but it lacks consideration of the cracks in the bedrock and is a treatment method that only takes poison to quench thirst. The essential characteristic of rock mass is cracks. There is no rock mass without cracks. Karst phenomena occur with cracks, and there are no separate karst caves. The closed plugging measures not only block the original holes, but also lead water and gas to the surrounding karst caves or cracks for discharge, causing them to develop faster and induce new collapses in the surrounding areas.
[0006] The backfill method mainly uses sand and gravel or geotextiles to construct an anti-filtration layer to prevent seepage damage. It can not only retain soil, but also has a certain air permeability. The backfill method uses sand and gravel with particle sizes from large to small to fill the collapse in layers from bottom to top. Vertical seepage damage is not easy to occur, but the stone layer with large particle sizes at the bottom has large pores, and contact soil flow is prone to occur around it. Over time, there is still a risk of re-collapse and later settlement.
[0007] The pressure relief method uses pipes to connect karst caves and the outside atmosphere. Its main function is ventilation, solving the problem of internal and external air pressure balance. It can effectively relieve vacuum erosion and high-pressure expansion and avoid soil erosion. This method has a single function and mainly plays a role in preventing collapse. It does not belong to the management structure for existing collapse.
[0008] At present, the methods for controlling karst ground collapse generally lack the concept and measures of water blocking, and ignore the fundamental reason of changed groundwater recharge conditions. As a result, various surface waters can still infiltrate and recharge freely, and the frequent rise and fall of groundwater cannot be fundamentally alleviated, resulting in collapse control often being ineffective. Summary of the invention
[0009] The present invention aims to provide a composite treatment method for karst ground collapse in the covering layer, which takes multiple measures such as air permeability, soil conservation and water blocking, and solves the problem that the current karst area collapse treatment measures cannot completely prevent soil and water loss.
[0010] To this end, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a composite treatment method for karst ground collapse in the overburden layer, comprising the following steps:
[0011] Step S1, excavating around the karst cave to the upper surface of the bedrock layer to form a foundation pit, then leveling and cleaning the bottom of the foundation pit, and measuring and marking the karst cave openings;
[0012] Step S2, placing gabions in a horizontal direction closely to the front and back of the karst cave, filling the gabions with stones, and laying geogrids and geotextiles in sequence from the inside to the outside along the outer sides of the gabions except the bottom side;
[0013] Step S3, using clay soil to initially backfill the foundation pit by layered compaction, reserving a filter layer space just above the gabion, and then symmetrically setting up ventilation pipes, with the bottom end of the ventilation pipe extending into the gabion, the top end extending vertically out of the original ground and then bending horizontally;
[0014] Step S4, laying a sand and gravel filter layer in the reserved space of the sand and gravel filter layer, then backfilling with clay soil again, and finally laying a planting soil layer and planting plants for greening.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, in step S1, the ground excavation range is determined according to the geological survey data and the actual situation on site, based on the range of the pit bottom working surface and the stable slope of the covering layer, and the slope method is used to excavate to the upper surface of the bedrock layer to ensure the stability of the foundation pit slope.
[0016] Further preferably, in step S2, the gabion includes a gabion frame formed by binding horizontal and vertical steel bars and a gabion mesh surface installed on the gabion frame, thereby forming two front-to-back symmetrical stone placement cells, and the gabion mesh surface is made of a double-twisted hexagonal mesh surface made of steel wire coated with polyvinyl chloride organic coating.
[0017] It is further preferred that, in step S2, the center of the gabion structure is aligned with the center of the karst cave, and the lengths of the supports on both sides are the same and sufficient, so that the stress state of the gabion structure is reasonable, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure.
[0018] It is further preferred that in step S2, the stones are loaded in an artificial layered stacking manner, and the particle size of the lower layer of stones is larger than that of the upper layer of stones. The stones are made of weathering-resistant hard rock with an average particle size of 12 cm to 16 cm, and more than 85% of the stone particles by mass have a particle size greater than 12 cm, and the material selection is reasonable.
[0019] More preferably, in step S2, the geogrid is installed on the outer side of the gabion by tying, and the installation is stable. The geotextile is a whole surface that fits all the geogrids from top to bottom, and the bottom is fixed to the bottom of the foundation pit by U-shaped steel nails. The geotextile is made of polyester filament spunbond needle-punched non-woven geotextile, with an equivalent pore size of 0.05 mm and a permeability coefficient of 1×10 -3 cm / s, reasonable material selection, no joints, stable installation, good integrity and strong anti-filtration ability.
[0020] It is further preferred that, in the step S3, the initial backfill height of the clay soil is not less than 60 cm above the gabion, thereby ensuring that the reserved filter layer space is not less than 60 cm.
[0021] It is further preferred that in step S3, a right-angle elbow with an outlet facing the horizontal direction is provided on the top of the ventilation pipe, the top horizontal section is more than 20 cm higher than the top of the green plant, and the length of the horizontal section is 20 cm to 24 cm, which effectively prevents debris from falling into the ventilation pipe and clogging the pipe. The ventilation pipe adopts a hard UPVC pipe with a diameter of 5 cm to 10 cm, which has a reasonable size to ensure the ventilation effect.
[0022] Further preferably, in step S4, the sand and gravel filter layer includes a medium-fine sand and gravel layer and a fine sand and gravel layer horizontally laid in sequence from bottom to top, forming a step-by-step filter to ensure the filter effect.
[0023] It is further preferred that in step S4, the thickness of the backfilled clay soil is not less than 50 cm, ensuring that the permeability coefficient of the compacted clay soil layer is less than 0.01 m / d, thereby ensuring the effect of delaying the infiltration of surface water. The planting soil layer thickness is greater than 30 cm, and the size is reasonable to ensure the survival rate of plant planting.
[0024] More preferably, in step S4, the greening plants are local dominant species and low shrubs with roots shorter than 30 cm.
[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0026] (1) At present, the measures for the treatment of karst subsidence cannot completely prevent soil erosion. The conventional filter layer backfill method only focuses on soil conservation, ignoring water blocking and air permeability, and cannot alleviate the frequent rise and fall of groundwater and changes in air pressure. This scheme adopts a composite governance structure to construct an all-round three-dimensional filter barrier to relieve the changes in air pressure in the karst pipeline and slow down groundwater recharge. It integrates soil conservation, air permeability, water blocking, bearing capacity, and greening functions to carry out comprehensive treatment of karst subsidence, inhibiting soil erosion and ground subsidence from the root. It is novel in conception and ingenious in design.
[0027] (2) Gabions are built across the karst caves on the leveled bedrock layer. The bedrock layer has a high compressive strength and the stress state of the spanning structure is reasonable, making the overall structure highly stable. The steel skeleton makes the gabions rigid to support the loads of the overlying structures and avoid excessive deformation that causes damage to the overlying sand and gravel filter layer and significant ground settlement. The gabion structure itself is flexible. When the karst cave expands, it can adapt to and block the new openings through its own deformation to avoid brittle failure of the structure. At the same time, the stones placed in the gabions can maintain smooth air circulation due to the presence of a large number of interconnected pores.
[0028] (3) Compared with the existing anti-filtration layer laid layer by layer from bottom to top, this scheme forms an all-round anti-filtration structure by wrapping the geotextile outside the gabion and laying the sand and gravel anti-filtration layer just above the gabion to achieve three-dimensional soil conservation. It can not only prevent soil erosion from above, but also prevent lateral infiltration damage such as clay soil. The geotextile has a good soil conservation effect, and the gabion also provides support for the geotextile, effectively preventing the geotextile from deformation and damage due to excessive load, and the layout is reasonable.
[0029] (4) Use clay soil to fill the remaining space in the foundation pit, and use the clay soil’s own strong water-locking ability to effectively reduce the permeability coefficient of the composite structure, prevent surface water from running off and replenishing the underground, and slow down or eliminate the frequent rise and fall of groundwater.
[0030] (5) Use ventilation pipes to connect the karst caves and the atmosphere to maintain air circulation in the karst caves, balance the internal and external air pressure, effectively reduce the air pressure load on the gabion structure, and slow down or eliminate vacuum erosion and high-pressure expansion.
[0031] (6) Planting plants in the planting soil layer for greening can further block water through the plant root system and maintain the consistency of the ground environment landscape, thereby restoring the human living environment and natural landscape damaged by soil erosion and improving the overall aesthetics.
[0032] To sum up, this treatment method takes comprehensive measures such as soil conservation, water blocking, and ventilation in response to collapse factors such as changes in groundwater recharge conditions, frequent rise and fall of groundwater, and changes in air pressure in caves. It has the advantages of composite treatment, combination of rigidity and flexibility, overall stability, all-round three-dimensional without dead ends, and strong aesthetics. It can effectively prevent the risk of collapse and later settlement after treatment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] The gabion frame 41 has a length of 2m, a width of 1m, and a height of 1m. The gabion frame 41 is made of φ16 ribbed steel bars sprayed with epoxy resin coating by bending and tying. Four longitudinal steel bars are arranged at intervals of 33cm on the left and right of the bottom of the gabion frame 41, and two longitudinal steel bars are arranged at intervals of 1m on the top. The square stirrups at the front and rear ends and in the center are bent at an angle of 135° and a hook length of 20cm.

[0044] The gabion mesh surface 42 is made of double-twisted hexagonal mesh surface with polyvinyl chloride organic coating on steel wire.
[0045] A continuous mesh is used to cut out continuous bottom plate, panel and end plate meshes. The bottom plate mesh is laid along the gabion frame 41 and tied to fix. The front and rear panel meshes and the end plate meshes on both sides are laid vertically along the steel frame and fixed by twisting the edges. A square mesh with a side length of 1m is cut and the partition mesh is laid vertically along the steel frame and fixed by twisting the edges. A rectangular mesh with a length of 2m and a width of 1m is cut as the cover mesh.

When the stone is filled and covered, the end wires of the cover plate mesh are fixed to the top longitudinal reinforcement by twisting the edge, and the side wires are fixed to the top of the transverse square stirrups at both ends.
[0047] When the gabion mesh surface is twisted, single and double turns are twisted alternately at intervals of 10cm to 15cm. The material and mechanical performance indicators of the twisted edge steel wire are consistent with those of the mesh wire.

The excess parts at the four corners are folded and attached to each surface, and the edges are fixed to the bedrock at the bottom of the pit with U-shaped steel nails. The geogrid 6 and geotextile 7 corresponding to the upper surface of the gabion 4 are reserved with perforations for ventilation pipes 8.
