Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a tamping depth estimation method and belongs to the technical field of foundation reinforcement. Background Art

[0002] Dynamic compaction is a method of compacting the foundation and other soil bodies by free falling of a heavy hammer. The advantages of using it to treat the foundation include: (1) Significant improvement in foundation bearing capacity: By continuously hitting the surface with a heavy hammer, the soil particles are rearranged and compacted, increasing soil density and drainage performance, and improving foundation bearing capacity. (2) Fast construction speed: Compared with traditional filling methods, dynamic compaction does not require a large amount of earthwork transportation and filling, reducing the construction period and improving engineering efficiency. (3) Wide range of applicable soil types: Dynamic compaction is applicable to most soil types, including sandy soil, unsaturated clay soil, collapsible loess and miscellaneous fill foundations. (4) Significant reinforcement effect: The foundation strength can be increased by 2 to 5 times, the compressibility can be reduced by 2 to 10 times, and the reinforcement depth can reach 6 to 10 meters. (5) Saving materials and construction costs: Dynamic compaction does not require special building materials, saving the cost of purchase, transportation, production and driving. Compared with pile foundations, it can save 50% to 70% of investment.

[0028] Preferably, the original stress of the soil at each depth is determined according to the lateral pressure coefficient, bulk density and depth of the soil.

[0029] Preferably, the lateral pressure coefficient is determined according to the internal friction angle of the soil.

[0030] Preferably, the preset horizontal distance is 3m~5m.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the tamping depth estimation method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The present invention does not require sampling and excavation of the foundation after tamping, so the soil will not loosen after tamping, ensuring the safety of subsequent construction. Furthermore, the present invention can quickly estimate the tamping depth and tamping quality, avoiding engineering risks caused by insufficient tamping depth and substandard tamping quality.
