[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0024] Embodiment 1: See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A method for treating a karst cave when a shield tunnel passes through a karst cave comprises the following steps: Step 1: Locate the location of the cave. Specifically, use a variety of geological detection equipment such as geological radar, three-dimensional seismic survey instrument and ultrasonic reflectometer to conduct a full range of geological detection of the construction area of the shield tunnel line. Through detection, the location, number, size and shape of the cave can be accurately determined, providing reliable data support for subsequent processing.
[0025] Step 2: Arrange grouting drilling points on the ground. According to the specific location of the cave, arrange the drilling points on the ground reasonably. The drilling depth should reach the top of the cave above to facilitate the subsequent casing installation and grouting operations.
[0026] Step three, install a primary steel casing 3 in the borehole. The top of the primary steel casing 3 protrudes 50 cm above the ground to facilitate subsequent construction operations. If groundwater is detected in the cave above, the groundwater in the cave can be led out to the ground reservoir through the primary steel casing 3 and the water diversion pipe, thereby effectively reducing the water pressure in the cave and avoiding the impact on the construction.
[0027] Step 4: inject grout into the upper cave 1 through the primary steel casing 3, and gradually reinforce the cave by layered filling.
[0028] Step 5: After grouting to the top of the primary steel casing 3, drill again to make the slurry collapse, and then grout again, repeatedly until the top of the upper cave 1 is fully filled and a stable reinforcement is formed.
[0029] Step 6: Weld the secondary steel casing 4 on the top of the primary steel casing 3, and then lower the primary steel casing 3 and the secondary steel casing 4 so that the primary steel casing 3 is located at the bottom of the upper cave 1; Step seven, continue drilling through the primary steel casing 3 and the secondary steel casing 4 to drill through the lower cave 2. If there is groundwater in the lower cave 2, the groundwater can also be led out to the surface reservoir through the water diversion pipe in the casing to ensure that the grouting process is not affected.
[0030] Step 8: Inject grout into the lower cave 2 through the primary steel casing 3 and the secondary steel casing 4 to ensure that the bottom of the lower cave 2 and the surrounding geology are fully reinforced.
[0031] Step 9: After grouting to the top of the primary steel casing 3, drill again and grout after drilling, repeat several times until the top of the cave 2 below is also fully filled.
[0032] Step 10: Repeat steps S6-S9 until the calibration depth is reached. The calibration depth can be determined according to construction requirements and can pass through multiple caves.
[0033] In the present invention, according to the characteristics of the cave, the cave is divided into a fully filled cave, a semi-filled cave and a cavity cave. The fully filled cave is filled with cement-water glass double liquid slurry, which has rapid solidification, high strength and excellent anti-seepage performance. The semi-filled cave is filled with bentonite-cement slurry, which has good filling performance and strong anti-seepage ability, and is suitable for areas filled with loose mud and sand. The cavity cave is filled with polyurethane slurry, which has strong expansion performance and good water-stopping effect, and is suitable for completely empty cavity and water seepage environment. Therefore, suitable slurry is selected for grouting treatment according to the type of cave, which effectively ensures the integrity of the filling and the reinforcement effect.
[0034] In this embodiment, before step four, it also includes: injecting anti-seepage slurry into the surrounding area of the cave through drilling to form a continuous anti-seepage curtain, and solving the problem of groundwater retention and leakage in the cave by constructing a groundwater drainage system and an anti-seepage curtain, thereby ensuring the grouting effect and reducing the impact of groundwater on the construction environment.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present invention, a flange 5 is detachably installed on the top of the steel casing. Specifically, mounting holes 8 are evenly opened on the top of the steel casing, and through holes 9 corresponding to the mounting holes 8 are evenly opened on the flange 5. Mounting bolts 10 pass through the through holes 9 and are installed in the mounting holes 8, so that the flange 5 can be fixed to the top of the steel casing, which can prevent the steel casing from sinking, improve the convenience and adaptability of the construction operation, and meet the flexible construction needs under complex working conditions. When it is necessary to sink, the flange 5 can be removed.
[0036] Embodiment 2: See also Figure 3 On the basis of the first embodiment, in this embodiment, anchor drilling points are arranged on the ground, holes are drilled along the drilling points, one end of the anchor rod 6 is implanted into the rock formation through the drilling hole, and the other end is connected to the steel frame support frame 7, and the steel frame support frame 7 is fixed on the ground to form an overall support system.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the anchor borehole is at the same depth as the bottom end of the steel casing, which further plays a reinforcement role and prevents the cave from collapsing when the shield tunnel passes through.
[0038] In the present invention, a load sensor is also installed on the anchor rod 6 to monitor the stress state of the anchor rod 6 in real time and feed the data back to the monitoring system. Through monitoring, the stress anomaly of the anchoring system can be discovered in time to ensure construction safety. A flexible connection cushion layer is also provided between the steel frame support frame 7 and the ground to absorb stress fluctuations caused by geological deformation, reduce the impact of construction disturbances on surrounding geology, and improve the stability and deformation resistance of the overall system.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
