Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building foundations, and specifically relates to a design method for a composite pile foundation for a biogas fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the construction of large and medium-sized biogas projects in soft soil foundations has gradually increased. At present, the pile foundation design methods for biogas fermentation tanks in soft soil foundations have the following limitations: (1) Insufficient load distribution and pile-soil synergy mechanism: Most existing composite pile foundation designs adopt a homogenization treatment and do not conduct a zoned differential design according to the radial gradient distribution characteristics of the tank load, resulting in low pile-soil collaborative bearing efficiency; for example, the conventional method treats the pile cap as a whole to calculate the number of piles and their layout, ignoring the stress differences in each area, causing redundant pile numbers or insufficient local bearing capacity, which not only increases the cost but also affects safety; (2) Insufficient settlement control accuracy: Traditional designs rely on overall settlement calculations, but biogas fermentation tanks are extremely sensitive to differential settlements; (3) Lack of coupling optimization of composite pile foundation parameters: The current specifications do not clearly define the dynamic adjustment method of the pile cap area control coefficient for composite pile foundations in the scenario of biogas fermentation tanks. Existing technologies fix the value of the pile cap area control coefficient under the same pile cap, without considering the coupling effect of the pile spacing and the regional load difference, resulting in an imbalance in the load sharing ratio between the pile and the soil, being unable to fully utilize the bearing capacity of the soil between piles, causing redundant pile foundations or out-of-control settlements. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Further, the pile type is a friction pile; the pile tip penetrates into the soft soil layer to a set depth, and does not use a hard soil layer as the pile tip bearing layer.

[0011] Further, the pile lines in the first area are arranged directly below the axis of the tank wall plate and are evenly distributed along the axis; the thickness of the bearing platform in the first area is greater than the thickness of the bearing platform in the third area, and the tops of the bearing platforms in the first area, the second area and the third area are on the same horizontal plane, the bottom surface of the bearing platform in the first area transitions to the bottom surface of the third area through the bottom surface of the second area, the bottom surface of the bearing platform in the first area and the bottom surface of the bearing platform in the third area are horizontal planes, and the included angle between the bottom surface of the bearing platform in the second area and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0017] Optionally, the load borne by the composite pile foundation in the region is the sum of the total weight of the metal tank body and the mechanical and electrical equipment in the region, the weight of the bearing platform in the region, and the weight of the fermentation broth in the region of the bearing platform.

[0018] Optionally, the value range of the set ratio of the tank body diameter to the tank body height is 1:1 to 1:3.

[0019] The selection of the ratio of the tank body diameter to the tank body height should comprehensively consider the control of dissolved oxygen and the mixing speed of the fed-batch medium and the fermentation broth.

[0020] The present invention divides the bearing platform into several regions, and respectively sets the bearing platform area control coefficient and the load-bearing ratio of the soil between the piles, realizes the precise matching of the load-pile soil response, and reduces the foundation cost; by independently checking the settlement amount in each region and dynamically adjusting the number of piles, it ensures that the maximum settlement difference meets the requirements of the "Code for Design of Foundation of Steel Storage Tanks", and avoids damage to the tank body structure; combines the dynamic correction of the bearing platform area control coefficient with the pile spacing to improve the theoretical completeness and engineering applicability of the composite pile foundation design.

[0021] Therefore, in the actual biogas project, it is necessary to reasonably select the ratio of the tank body diameter to the tank body height according to the specific fermentation process, microbial characteristics, and the requirements for dissolved oxygen and mixing speed to achieve the best fermentation effect.

[0022] Optionally, let the diameter of the tank body be , the thickness of the bearing platform be , and the diameter of the composite pile foundation bearing platform be , then: .

[0023] Optionally, the thickness of the bearing platform is greater than or equal to 400 mm.

[0024] Optionally, the bearing platform is divided into several regions according to its stiffness, including a circular region with the center of the bearing platform as the center and the distance between the stiffness change point of the bearing platform and the center as the radius, and several annular regions outside the circular region.

[0025] Optionally, the bearing platform is divided into a first region, a second region and a third region; the first region and the second region are annular regions outside the circular region with the center of the bearing platform as the center and the distance between the stiffness change point of the bearing platform and the center as the radius, the circular region is the third region, and the inner ring radius of the first region is the outer ring radius of the second region; the load borne by the composite pile foundation in the first region is the sum of the total weight of the metal tank body and the electromechanical equipment in this region, the weight of the bearing platform in this region and the weight of the fermentation liquid in this region; the load borne by the composite pile foundation in the second region is the sum of the weight of the fermentation liquid in this region and the weight of the bearing platform in this region; the load borne by the composite pile foundation in the third region is the sum of the weight of the fermentation liquid in this region and the weight of the bearing platform in this region.

[0027] In the actual application process, let the bearing platform area control coefficient of the first region be , the bearing platform area control coefficient of the second region be , the bearing platform area control coefficient of the third region be , the bearing platform effect coefficient be , , , , considering that when the ratio of the center distance of the piles to the pile diameter is greater than 6, the bearing platform effect will no longer increase with the increase of this ratio. According to the Technical Code for Building Pile Foundations, at this time, the bearing platform effect coefficient is 0.5 - 0.8. In soft soil foundations, the bearing platform effect coefficient takes 0.8 times the lower value.

[0028] Optionally, the pile type is friction piles; the pile tip penetrates into the soft soil layer to a set depth, and does not use a hard soil layer as the pile tip bearing layer.

[0029] In the actual application process, the pile tip penetrates into the soft soil layer to a set depth, and does not use the hard soil layer as the pile tip bearing layer, ensuring that the pile tip can penetrate into the soft soil layer when the composite pile is loaded.

[0030] Optionally, as shown in the sectional schematic diagram of the pile cap Figure 3 The pile line in the first area is arranged directly below the axis of the tank wall plate and is evenly distributed along the axis; the thickness of the pile cap in the first area is greater than that in the third area, and the tops of the pile caps in the first, second, and third areas are on the same horizontal plane.

The bottom surface of the pile cap in the first area and the bottom surface of the pile cap in the third area are horizontal planes, and the included angle between the bottom surface of the pile cap in the second area and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0031] Optionally, according to the characteristic value of the bearing capacity of a single pile, the pile cap area control coefficient and the pile cap effect coefficient of each area, determine the required number of piles, including: Let the characteristic value of the bearing capacity of a single pile be , the characteristic value of the bearing capacity of the foundation under the pile cap be , the number of piles be , the total net area of the pile foundation cap be , the standard value of the external load on the pile cap within the area be , the weight of the pile cap within the area be , the pile cap effect coefficient be , the pile cap area control coefficient be ; ; Then the number of piles: .

[0032] When checking the settlement of the composite pile foundation in each area according to the loads in each area, the settlement amount and the settlement difference in each area should meet the design requirements of the "Code for Design of Steel Storage Tank Foundation". When the difference between the maximum and minimum settlement values does not meet the set threshold range, adjust the number of piles.
