Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering suction bucket foundation construction, and in particular to an anti-scour suction bucket foundation and a sinking-correcting-fixing construction method. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of marine engineering, especially in the construction of infrastructure such as offshore wind power, offshore oil platforms, and submarine pipelines, suction bucket foundations have gradually become a widely used foundation type due to their advantages such as good stability and reusability. However, compared with the piling construction of traditional pile foundations, the construction process of suction bucket foundations is more complicated and involves higher technical content. As a new type of foundation, the design and construction technology of suction bucket foundations has important research value, especially when solving problems such as settlement and stability in complex marine environments.
[0003] It is worth noting that the internal structure and construction method of the traditional suction bucket foundation are single, and problems such as soil plugging in the bucket, bucket tilting, and scouring around the bucket are often encountered. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scouring-resistant suction bucket foundation and a full-process construction method of sinking-correcting-fixing to ensure that the foundation can stably and quickly reach the designed burial depth during the construction process. Solidified soil is a mixture of one or more soil types and a curing agent. After special proportioning and treatment, it has high compressive strength, suitable fluidity, pumpability, and solidification time, and can quickly adapt to the special environmental conditions of the seabed. During the foundation construction process, the sinking, correction, and fixing stages of the suction bucket foundation are the key factors that determine its foundation stability and service life. The solidified soil filling plays a role in improving the soil body by preventing scouring, soil plugging, and tilting during the sinking and correction of the suction bucket foundation, and forms a long-lasting solid protective layer during the fixing stage.
[0004] At present, there are certain shortcomings in the relevant construction methods and devices, mainly including the following points: (1) In order to solve the problem of soil plugging in the barrel and failure to reach the designed penetration depth, existing studies have mostly ignored the complexity of seabed geology and only focused on designing different soil plugging devices. For example, a stirring head is set in the barrel, but its design is prone to cause local blockage in soil layers with high water content or soft soil; a filter layer device is set in the barrel, but its design may cause material blockage in soil layers with high water content. (2) In view of the problem of foundation sinking instability and slow sinking during sinking, existing studies have mostly ignored the scouring effect of the ocean current on the barrel during sinking, and have only focused on designing different accelerated sinking devices; for example, grouting is designed to fill the cavity to increase the penetration of deadweight, but the grouting material may be unevenly distributed, resulting in foundation displacement or uneven sinking during sinking; high-frequency vibration devices are designed to assist sinking, but the vibration may cause local disturbance of the soil around the barrel, resulting in uneven settlement; (3) In response to the problem of barrel tilt and the inability to detect and correct it in time, existing studies have mostly ignored the existence of gaps in the soil around the barrel after correction and the re-tilting of the barrel, and have only stayed at the stage of designing different barrel correction devices; for example, spraying high-pressure water and gas for foundation correction, but spraying water or gas will cause the soil around the barrel to become loose or softened in local areas, and the correction effect is difficult to last, with the risk of "re-tilting"; electro-osmosis is used for foundation correction, but in deep layers or areas with uneven electrical properties of the soil, the electro-osmosis effect may not be sufficient to effectively adjust the tilted barrel; (4) Regarding the problem of how to reinforce the foundation after installation to improve the structural bearing capacity and the barrel periphery to withstand ocean current erosion, existing research has mostly ignored the long-term stability of the soil after reinforcement, and has only stayed at a single physical or chemical reinforcement method. For example, a layered grouting device is designed to reinforce the suction bucket foundation, but in a complex seabed environment, the grouting equipment has high requirements and construction is difficult. In addition, the slurry has uneven diffusion after entering the soil, resulting in local uneven reinforcement effect. A heating barrel device is designed to consolidate the soil, but it has problems such as high energy consumption, uneven soil temperature distribution, and poor adaptability to the external environment. (5) Existing studies mostly focus on solving a specific or several engineering problems during the construction of suction bucket foundations, and fail to comprehensively and systematically address the complex engineering problems existing in the sinking, deviation correction and fixing stages of foundation construction. Therefore, there is a lack of a technical method that can work in all directions, and the comprehensive improvement of construction efficiency, foundation stability and later sustainability has not been fully achieved. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an erosion-resistant suction bucket foundation and a whole-process construction method of sinking-correcting-fixing. The present invention introduces solidified soil filling technology and designs a suction bucket foundation-related construction system and method to effectively solve engineering problems such as soil plugging in the bucket, bucket tilting, and erosion around the bucket, thereby improving construction efficiency and structural stability.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] A sinking-correcting-fixing construction method for an anti-scouring suction bucket foundation includes the following construction steps: S1. Preparation stage: After transporting the construction equipment and curing materials to the construction site, carry out geological survey and determine the construction parameters in the construction area; (1) Design the slurry ratio of the solidified soil based on the seabed soil and the properties of the solidified materials, including the water-binder ratio, the proportion of solidified soil, and the type and ratio of additives; (2) Calculate the penetration resistance of the barrel based on the seabed soil, the friction resistance of the barrel side wall, the size and shape of the barrel end, and the bearing capacity coefficient; (3) Based on the size, shape and bearing capacity of the barrel, calculate the critical suction and allowable suction of the barrel; S2. Sinking and penetration stage: After the construction ship is in place, the suction bucket foundation is hoisted into the water, and the external solidification soil filling, gravity sinking and penetration, external solidification soil filling, and negative pressure penetration operations are carried out in sequence; (1) Hoisting into water: lift the barrel to the intended installation location; the hoisting equipment puts the suction barrel into the water. When it detects that the bottom of the barrel has just touched the mud surface, the hoisting equipment is controlled to stop descending; adjust the barrel to move in a small range until the azimuth and coordinates meet the design requirements; (2) External solidified soil filling: The external solidified soil conveying pipe is lifted up to the same height at a uniform speed. The external solidified soil conveying pipe squeezes the mechanical lock device in the external solidified soil filling cavity. The mechanical lock device controls the external solidified soil filling port closest to the seabed. The external solidified soil filling port extends out of the suction barrel and is in an open state. The soil filling around the barrel is carried out. When the solidified soil is evenly spread around the barrel, the external solidified soil conveying pipe continues to be lifted up, and the external solidified soil filling port is retracted into the suction barrel and closed. (3) Gravity penetration: Open the valve of the self-weight pneumatic pipe to allow the water in the barrel to drain freely; the lifting equipment slowly descends, and the barrel penetrates the seabed by its own weight; the data detection system detects the penetration depth, structural levelness and sinking speed of the barrel in real time; the barrel is leveled in a small area through the lifting equipment; when the barrel no longer sinks by gravity, close the valve of the self-weight pneumatic pipe and the gravity penetration is completed; let it stand for 15-30 minutes to form a sealing condition; (4) Internal solidified soil filling: The solidified soil enters the lower filling plate through the internal solidified soil conveying pipe, and the internal solidified soil filling plate dispersion channel is opened to fill the soil gaps in the barrel; when the filling plate height rises by 0.1-0.3 m, the internal solidified soil filling is stopped; (5) Negative pressure penetration: Open the valve of the vacuum pump pneumatic pipe, start the water pump, and start the suction penetration operation. During the penetration process, the barrel continues to sink, and the data detection system monitors the barrel level, penetration depth, and internal and external pressure difference in real time; S3. Correction stage: Determine the tilt direction and amplitude through the tilt sensor and measuring equipment; design the solidification soil ratio and filling position according to the tilt angle and soil characteristics; when the tilt angle of the suction bucket is greater than the allowable value, stop the penetration stage and correct the deviation in time; (1) Small angle correction: During the penetration process, when the barrel body tilts less than 5°, the penetration speed of the barrel body is controlled by controlling the water pump flow rate and changing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the barrel until the barrel body is adjusted horizontally; for the area on the tilted side and the opposite side of the barrel body, repeat the external solidifying soil filling construction in the above S2. penetration stage; until the solidifying soil completely fills the gap between the barrel body and the soil, stop filling the solidifying soil around the barrel body; (2) Large-angle correction: During the penetration process, if the barrel tilts ≥5°, the barrel is straightened by water pump flow control and hoisting equipment until the barrel is adjusted horizontally; repeat the inner and outer solidified soil filling construction of S2. penetration stage; stop filling the solidified soil until the solidified soil completely fills the gap between the barrel and the soil and forms a slope around the barrel by self-flow; S4. Fixing stage: Repeat S2. Penetration stage and S3. Correction stage until the barrel sinks to the designed penetration depth, and then fill and reinforce the barrel with solidified soil around and inside the barrel; (1) Solidification around the barrel: Repeat the external solidification soil filling construction in the above S2. penetration stage. The solidified soil flows out of the barrel to form a slope. When a uniform reinforcement layer is formed around the barrel, stop filling the solidification soil around the barrel. (2) Solidification in the barrel: Raise the internal solidification soil conveying pipe to the maximum position and fill the barrel with solidification soil. When the solidification soil completely fills the internal barrel space, stop filling the barrel with solidification soil. After the solidification soil in the barrel solidifies and has a certain strength, remove the pulling force on the internal solidification soil conveying pipe. S5. Monitoring stage: After the suction bucket foundation is installed, and after 14 days and 28 days of curing, the construction effect is tested and evaluated; (1) After the barrel is installed, use the depth detection device to verify the barrel embedding depth, use the inclination detection system to check the final horizontal state of the barrel, and comprehensively test the barrel's bearing capacity to ensure that it meets the design requirements; (2) After 14 and 28 days of curing, the scour depth at different locations around the barrel was measured using a scour depth detector, and the cured soil samples were extracted using a soil strength tester and subjected to a rapid direct shear test; (3) Upload all data to the water control system to evaluate the effect of solidified soil filling; the scouring depth of the soil around the barrel shall not exceed 0.5 m; the cohesion of the solidified soil of the protective layer shall be ≥0.1 MPa after 14 days of solidification and ≥0.5 MPa after 28 days; the internal friction angle shall be ≥15° after 14 days of solidification and ≥20° after 28 days; (4) Areas around the barrel that do not meet the design requirements for scour depth, cohesion, and internal friction angle are marked as weak areas. The weak areas are refilled using an external solidification soil filling system, and the above monitoring steps are repeated after construction.
