TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building construction devices, in particular to a flexible retaining wall pile bottom expansion device suitable for karst areas. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are caves and cracks of different sizes in karst ground, and the caves are often accompanied by complex underground water flow, which brings great challenges to pile foundation forming, especially in the concrete pouring process. Due to the existence of caves or cracks, mud or concrete often leaks along the cracks, resulting in engineering problems such as failure to form piles or excessive leakage of mud.
[0003] At present, the steel casing following method is the most mature pile foundation forming method in karst areas, but the cost of steel casing is very high, especially when encountering a cave of ten meters high, the cost of steel casing is as high as tens of thousands of yuan, and the steel casing cannot be recycled after pile forming, so the cost of pile forming increases significantly. In order to improve the cost problem of steel casing, high-performance geomembrane, geotextile or plastic products are gradually used in engineering to replace steel casing. Although the cost of flexible casing has been significantly reduced, due to its small elastic modulus, a concrete leakage channel is often opened between the flexible casing and the rock wall during the process of concrete flowing and turning up at the pile bottom, resulting in significant leakage of mud at the pile bottom. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can actively expand and expand the flexible casing to fit the rock wall to provide reliable sealing effect after the steel reinforcement cage is lowered into the flexible casing and before the pile foundation is poured.
