[0031] Embodiment 1
[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The present invention discloses a combined cofferdam, comprising: an upstream steel film sealed cofferdam 1 located upstream of a river channel, and a downstream steel film sealed cofferdam 6 located downstream of the river channel; the height of the upstream steel film sealed cofferdam 1 is 4.5m, and the height of the downstream steel film sealed cofferdam 6 is 3.5m.
[0033] The upstream steel membrane sealed cofferdam 1 and the downstream steel membrane sealed cofferdam 6 are both formed by welding a plurality of channel steels into a channel steel truss 13, and are connected and fixed by φ48 steel pipes 14 and φ160mm logs 15 to form a whole.
[0034] The front side of the channel steel truss 13 is paved with bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8, and a plurality of sand bags 16 are hung on the channel steel truss 13. The plurality of sand bags 16 are pressed on the surface of the bamboo plywood and the anti-seepage membrane cloth 8. The bamboo plywood and the anti-seepage membrane cloth 8 are used to reduce leakage during flow through the cofferdam, thereby creating conditions for a dry channel operation site; they effectively slow down the seepage speed and ensure the construction working environment. Similarly, the bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8 mentioned below have the same effect.
[0035] The diversion channel includes a base 9 formed by compacting the original soil and local stones. The diversion channel is hardened, which effectively improves the harm caused by the bad geology and greatly improves the structural stability and flow stability of the diversion channel; the double-row piles 2 located on the side of the base 9, the bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8 laid on the surface layer of the double-row piles 2 and the surface layer of the base;
[0036] The channel steel truss 13 and the double-row pile 2 structure greatly increase the flow capacity of the cofferdam, and ensure the flow safety when there may be large water level changes before and after the flood season.
[0037] The diversion channel also includes a concrete bottom plate 3 and a concrete retaining wall 4. The concrete bottom plate 3 is arranged above the bamboo plywood and the anti-seepage membrane 8. The concrete retaining wall 4 is arranged on both sides of the concrete bottom plate 3. The arrangement of the concrete bottom plate 3 and the concrete retaining wall 4 enhances the bearing capacity and anti-deformation capacity of the cofferdam foundation, improves the harm caused by poor geology, slows down the seepage rate, and greatly enhances the stability of the cofferdam structure. The surface layer of the double-row piles 2 and the concrete retaining wall 4 are paved with bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane 8.
[0038] In detail, in this embodiment, the concrete base plate 3 is cast in situ using C30 commercial concrete with a thickness of 300 mm, and the concrete retaining wall 4 is equipped with φ14 steel bars with a width of 500 mm and a height of 1200 mm.
[0039] In detail, in this embodiment, the double-row piles 2 include a single-row steel pipe pile on one side of the concrete retaining wall 4 and a double-row steel pipe pile on the other side of the concrete retaining wall 4. The double-row steel pipe piles are connected as a whole by a rack pipe 17. The surface layers of the single-row steel pipe piles and the double-row steel pipe piles are paved with bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8.
[0040] In detail, in the present embodiment, the middle of the double-row steel pipe piles and the back of the single-row steel pipe piles are filled with earthbags 10, wherein the earthbags 10 are made of existing soil, and the earthbags 10 filled in the middle of the double-row steel pipe piles are exposed 4.5m; by laying bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8, combined with filling earthbags 10 on both sides of the cofferdam, a multi-layer anti-seepage system is formed, which effectively prevents leakage of groundwater and cofferdam during flow, effectively prevents water exchange inside and outside the cofferdam, creates dry trench operation conditions, ensures the construction environment, and improves construction quality.
[0041] It also includes cement bags 11. Multiple cement bags 11 are hung on the single-row steel pipe piles and the double-row steel pipe piles. Multiple cement bags 11 are pressed on the surface of the bamboo plywood and the anti-seepage membrane cloth 8 to increase the weight and resist the lateral water pressure.
[0042] A plurality of groups of steel sheet piles 12 are arranged in the downstream outlet area of the diversion channel, and the energy dissipation pool 5 is arranged between the plurality of groups of steel sheet piles 12. The special structure of the energy dissipation pool effectively reduces the scouring damage of the water flow to the cofferdam and the existing river channel when the upstream and downstream height difference is large and the flow rate is large. The energy dissipation pool can make the high-speed water flow turbulent in the pool, consume the water flow energy, slow down the impact force of the water flow entering the river channel, and play a significant role in energy dissipation and anti-scouring.
[0043] Ton bags 7 are arranged at the bottom folding points and overlaps of the bamboo plywood and the anti-seepage membrane cloth 8 and at the backwater side of the upstream steel membrane sealed cofferdam 1 and the downstream steel membrane sealed cofferdam 6 to increase the counterweight to resist the lateral water pressure.
[0044] The present invention provides a construction method of a combined cofferdam, as follows:
[0045] (1) Determine the depth and width of the diversion channel by calculating the flow rate of the river to ensure that the flow capacity is met;
[0046] (2) Figure 1 As shown, a diversion channel is formed by using a concrete bottom plate 3 and a concrete retaining wall 4, which effectively prevents leakage of groundwater and cofferdam during flow and prevents water exchange inside and outside the cofferdam;
[0047] (3) Figure 2 As shown, a diversion system is formed by using double-row piles 2, energy dissipation pool 5, bamboo plywood and anti-seepage membrane cloth 8, base 9, earth bags 10, cement bags 11, and steel sheet piles 12 to reduce the scouring of the cofferdam caused by the large height difference between upstream and downstream, large flow rate and flow velocity;
[0048] (4) Figure 3 As shown, the energy dissipation pool 5 is used to generate turbulence in the pool for the high-speed water flow, consume the water flow energy and slow down the impact force of the water flow entering the river channel, thus playing the role of energy dissipation and anti-impact;
[0049] (5) Figure 4 As shown, a channel steel truss 13 is used as the main structure of the upstream steel membrane end sealing cofferdam and the downstream steel membrane end sealing cofferdam, and is connected into a whole with a φ48 steel pipe 14 and a φ160mm log 15 to ensure structural stability and flow capacity, and create dry channel operation conditions;
[0050] The main advantages of the present invention are:
[0051] (1) Stable structure, strong anti-seepage performance, strong flow capacity and strong stability;
[0052] (2) Increase construction space and create dry trench operation conditions;
[0053] (3) Effectively prevent leakage of groundwater and cofferdam during flow, and effectively prevent water exchange inside and outside the cofferdam;
[0054] (4) Effectively reduce the scouring damage to the cofferdam and existing river channel caused by large upstream and downstream elevation differences and high flow and velocity;
[0055] (5) Enhance the bearing capacity and anti-deformation capacity of the cofferdam foundation, improve the hazards caused by adverse geology, and slow down the seepage rate;
[0056] (6) Ensure the overall construction environment and construction quality, and at the same time achieve reasonable allocation of river water resources during construction.
