[0026] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0027] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for reinforcing the foundation of offshore dump fill geology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the offshore dump fill geology includes at least a backfill layer 100 and a silt layer 200 from the surface downward, and includes the following steps: Start drilling with a drilling rig, with the bottom of the hole extending into the silt layer 200; After the drilling is completed, an outer sleeve 300 is placed in the hole. The depth of the outer sleeve 300 is less than the depth of the hole, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the outer sleeve 300. Using a high-pressure jetting process, the jetting pipe is lowered from the outer sleeve 300 to the bottom of the hole, and a jet pile 600 is formed from the bottom of the hole upwards. The upper part of the jet pile 600 overlaps with the outer sleeve 300 to form a bonding area 400; A grouting pipe is lowered into the outer casing 300 , and the lower end of the grouting pipe penetrates into the joint area 400 . A double-liquid grouting process is used to form a grouting area 500 , and a combination of the grouting area 500 and the jet pile 600 is formed within the range of the joint area 400 .

[0028] The foundation reinforcement method for offshore dump fill geology provided in this embodiment organically combines the high-pressure jetting process and the double-liquid grouting process. The jet pile 600 is formed by the high-pressure jetting process in the silt layer 200 at the lower part of the hole. The jet pile 600 can be stably formed in the silt layer 200. The grouting area 500 is formed by the double-liquid grouting process in the backfill layer 100 at the upper part of the hole. The grouting area 500 can form an effective combination with the backfill layer 100. At the same time, the grouting area 500 forms an effective combination with the jet pile 600 in the bonding area 400, thereby forming a foundation reinforcement technology combining the jet pile 600 with the grouting area 500, which fully utilizes the characteristics of complex strata to form a stable foundation.

[0029] The offshore dump fill geology foundation reinforcement method provided in this embodiment does not require equipment updates and can directly utilize the original equipment of the high-pressure jetting process and the double-liquid grouting process without equipment modification. The application cost is low and it is easy to promote and use.

[0030] In this embodiment, a drill bit with a diameter of 146 mm is used for drilling. The specific size of the drill bit is only a specific choice in this embodiment and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In actual applications, drill bits of other sizes can be selected according to needs.

[0031] In this embodiment, the high-pressure jetting process adopts a double-tube rotary jetting process, which specifically includes initial jetting and re-jetting, and the lifting speed of re-jetting is greater than the lifting speed of initial jetting. The pile diameter of the double-tube rotary jetting process is 800 mm and the pile length is 12 meters. Among the rotary jetting lifting speeds, the lifting speed of initial jetting is 0.1 meters per minute, the lifting speed of re-jetting is 0.15 meters per minute, and the lifting section length is 2 meters. The double-tube rotary jetting process sprays cement slurry solution and air respectively. In terms of the rotary jet slurry pressure of the cement slurry solution, the rotary jet slurry pressure of initial jetting and re-jetting is 4 MPa; in terms of the rotary jet pressure of air, the rotary jet pressure of initial jetting and re-jetting is 0.7 MPa. The weight ratio of cement: water glass: sulfate-resistant material is 100:1.5:4. In the bonding area 400, the cement slurry solution and air can overflow outside the outer sleeve 300 through the through hole of the outer sleeve 300, and the outer sleeve 300 will not affect the formation of the jet pile 600.

[0032] In this embodiment, water glass and anti-sulfate admixtures are added to traditional Portland cement, and the weight ratio of cement: water glass: anti-sulfate materials is 100:1.5:4, which improves the fluidity and erosion resistance of the slurry. Improving the fluidity of the slurry facilitates the formation of jet grouting piles, and improving the erosion resistance can also solve the erosion problem of offshore dumping sites.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer sleeve 300 is made of PVC, and the diameter of the outer sleeve 300 is 110 mm.

[0034] In this embodiment, the grouting pipe is constructed using multiple steel pipes assembled into a segmented structure. Spacers are placed between adjacent steel pipes, and grouting holes are provided on each pipe. Multiple groups of grouting holes are circumferentially equidistantly arranged on the pipe, with each group of holes symmetrically positioned. Grouting pressure is set for each pipe segment, increasing from shallow to deep.

[0035] Specifically, the steel pipe is a one-inch galvanized steel pipe. The length of the first and second sections from top to bottom is 4.5 meters, and the length of the third section is 5 meters. The total depth of the grouting area 500 is consistent with the depth of the PVC sleeve in the hole, which is 14 meters. The grouting pressure of the first section of the steel pipe is 1 MPa. During the process, ensure that the pressure in the grouting pipe increases steadily until the grouting pressure of 1 MPa is reached. At a grouting pressure of 1 MPa, when the injection rate is less than 5 L / min, continue for 10 minutes to complete the single-stage grouting, and then gradually increase the grouting pressure to destroy the spacer, and the slurry enters the second section of the steel pipe. The grouting pressure of the second section of the steel pipe is 1.5 MPa, and the grouting pressure of the third section of the steel pipe is 2 MPa. The grouting process and end conditions of the second and third sections of the steel pipe are the same as those of the first end steel pipe. This embodiment adopts segmented grouting, which avoids repeated drilling and sweeping, and improves construction efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, the depth of the backfill layer 100 is 12 meters, the depth of the silt layer 200 is 12 meters, and the total depth of the grouting area 500 exceeds the depth of the backfill layer 100 by 2 meters, which constitutes the depth of the bonding area 400 .

[0037] In other embodiments, the depth of the combination can be specifically set according to the depth of the silt layer 200 and the backfill layer 100, but is preferably not less than one tenth of the length of the grouting area 500 or the jet pile 600, and more preferably not less than two tenths of the length of the grouting area 500 or the jet pile 600, so as to ensure the combining effect of the jet pile 600 and the grouting area 500.

[0038] In this embodiment, the dual-liquid grouting process uses a bottom-hole mixing method to mix a water glass solution and a cement slurry solution. The weight ratio of cement: water glass: sulfate-resistant material is 100:15:4. Quantitative grouting is used, with a grouting volume of 1.1 tons per meter and a slurry water-cement ratio of 0.8:1. The grouting diffusion radius is 0.95 meters. The weight ratio of cement: water glass: sulfate-resistant material is 100:15:4, which optimizes the slurry viscosity and gel time, achieving better diffusion and compaction effects.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer side of the grouting pipe can be wrapped with geotextile, rubber strips and other materials to avoid clogging of the slurry outlet holes during the grouting process below.

[0040] In this embodiment, only the silt layer and the backfill layer are used as examples of complex geological conditions. In actual applications, when the geological conditions are more complex, such as artificial fill, Quaternary Holocene marine sedimentary layer, Quaternary Upper Pleistocene alluvial layer and the third lithologic section of the Yuntai Formation, the specific process provided in this embodiment can be applied according to the adaptive matching of the geological characteristics and the similar characteristics of the silt layer and the backfill layer, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
