Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pile foundation pit enclosure, and in particular to a method for enclosing and reinforcing a foundation pit in a soft soil area by utilizing straw piles. Background Art

[0002] Foundation pit support is an indispensable part of civil engineering, which is related to the safety and stability of the project. Although traditional foundation pit support materials such as steel sheet piles and concrete piles have excellent performance, they are expensive and may be difficult to construct in certain specific environments (such as coastal areas, basement excavation, etc.).

[0003] Existing methods for retaining foundation pits mainly include slope excavation and simple support, soil nail wall support structure, and internal support retaining structure. Slope excavation is to select a reasonable slope for excavation. Slope excavation is simple to construct and low in cost, but the amount of excavation and backfilling is large, and it is easy to collapse locally due to soaking in the rainy season. The soil nail wall support structure is composed of reinforced in-situ soil, densely arranged soil nails, and concrete panels sprayed on the slope. The soil nail wall support is stable, reliable, and economical, but it is not suitable for use in areas with poor soil quality. It requires earthwork to cooperate with layered excavation, and more equipment is required for construction sites with tight construction period requirements. The internal support retaining structure is composed of support piles or walls and internal supports. The wall body has high strength, high rigidity, good support stability, and small deformation, but the cost is high, the construction period is long, and the gaps between the piles are prone to soil erosion. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for retaining and reinforcing foundation pits in soft soil areas using straw piles. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for surrounding and reinforcing foundation pits in soft soil areas using straw piles, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0024] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a method for enclosing and reinforcing a foundation pit in a soft soil area using straw piles, comprising the following steps:

[0026] S1. Press straw, clay and water in proportion using steel templates, and make prefabricated straw piles after drying;

[0027] S2. Determine the length of the straw pile according to the excavation depth of the foundation pit;

[0028] S3. Determine the number of piles and the minimum center distance between piles before retaining the foundation pit, and use a multi-row circular dense arrangement of piles. Select different types of piles according to needs to ensure that the density of the retaining structure pile foundation meets the requirements;

[0029] S4. Measure and lay out according to the pile foundation construction drawings of the retaining structure to ensure the accuracy and quality of the construction and the safety of the foundation pit support structure and the surrounding environment;

[0030] S5. Static pile pressure is used to start piling, which avoids the vibration and noise caused by piling, and does not damage the piles during construction;

[0031] S6. Complete the straw pile layout and proceed with subsequent foundation pit excavation.

[0032] Through the above technical scheme, straw piles are used to surround small foundation pits in soft soil areas. The straw has a water-absorbing effect and plays a certain drainage and consolidation effect. The enclosure structure makes full use of agricultural waste - straw, which helps to reduce pollution. Clay soil is easy to obtain, which improves the utilization rate of resources. The material cost is relatively low, the operation is simple, the material is easy to obtain, and it has a high economic effect. The pile body material of the straw pile will not produce any pollution in the soil. After the foundation project is completed, the straw pile does not need to be pulled out, avoiding secondary disturbance to the surrounding environment. The straw pile has a certain effect of improving the soil quality after decay, which can improve the looseness, permeability, air permeability and soil fertility of the soft soil. When the loess content is high, it is conducive to the mixing of clay and soft soil, improving the bearing capacity of the soft soil, and at the same time, the decay rate of straw soil can be accelerated by artificially adding microorganisms; the piles are arranged in a circular and dense manner to form an arch effect, which converts the bending and tension internal forces of the structure into annular axial forces, so that the support structure has good ability to resist deformation, the lateral deformation of the circular enclosure structure is small, and the size of the support structure can be reduced. Under the premise of ensuring the safety and reliability of the support structure system, the support cost is saved and the structural stability is improved. At the same time, the multi-row piles have a higher bearing capacity, less erosion to the surrounding soil, good stability, and a stable support frame with strong supporting capacity.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, when straw piles are used to surround the soft soil area with supporting piles and the soil around the supporting piles is reinforced, a foundation pit excavation boundary line 63 is set at the edge of the foundation pit, a supporting pile group 68 is set outside the foundation pit excavation boundary line 63, and a first straw pile group 64 is set outside the supporting pile group 68, wherein the first straw pile group 64 is composed of a plurality of standard piles 61 arranged densely in a circular shape, a second straw pile group 65 is set outside the first straw pile group 64, and a third straw pile group 66 is set outside the second straw pile group 65. An nth straw pile group 67 is arranged outside the pile group 66 as required, wherein the second straw pile group 65, the third straw pile group 66 and the nth straw pile group 67 arranged as required are composed of a plurality of standard piles 61 arranged densely in a circle, and auxiliary piles 62 are arranged at intervals between adjacent standard piles 61, and the diameter of the standard piles 61 is larger than the diameter of the auxiliary piles 62, so as to ensure that the density of the pile foundation of the enclosure structure meets the requirements, wherein the method of using straw piles to surround the soft soil area with supporting piles and reinforce the soil around the supporting piles includes the following steps:
