Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of construction technology, in particular to an underwater membrane bag concrete reinforcement construction method for anti-scouring reinforcement. Background Art

[0002] In infrastructure construction, such as water conservancy and transportation, underwater structures are constantly exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as scouring and seawater erosion. Therefore, anti-scouring reinforcement construction is crucial. Currently, traditional underwater anti-scouring reinforcement construction techniques have exposed numerous drawbacks, seriously restricting the improvement of project quality and durability.

[0003] From the perspective of existing technologies, the pore structure of existing membrane bags lacks targeted design and cannot achieve uniform penetration during the concrete pouring stage, resulting in uneven concrete molding quality. When faced with water scouring, it cannot effectively prevent the erosion of the internal structure by the water flow, reducing the protective effect; traditional underwater construction relies on manual experience or simple underwater equipment, and it is difficult to achieve high-precision positioning. During the laying of membrane bags and concrete pouring, the position deviation is large, which cannot meet the project's requirements for construction accuracy, easily leading to uneven stress on the structure and affecting the overall performance. In addition, the existing construction equipment acts independently and lacks an effective collaborative operation mechanism. In terms of concrete diffusion control, it is impossible to adjust in real time according to the construction parameters, resulting in uneven distribution of concrete, affecting the structural strength and impact resistance. Therefore, an underwater membrane bag concrete reinforcement construction method for anti-impact reinforcement is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an underwater membrane bag concrete reinforcement construction method for anti-scouring reinforcement. This method addresses the existing problems of large positional deviations during membrane bag laying and concrete pouring, which fail to meet the project's construction accuracy requirements, easily leading to uneven structural stress and affecting overall performance. Furthermore, existing construction equipment operates independently and lacks an effective collaborative operation mechanism. Furthermore, concrete diffusion control cannot be adjusted in real time according to construction parameters.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for underwater membrane bag concrete reinforcement for anti-scouring reinforcement, comprising the following specific steps:

[0009] S3: Dynamically adjust the grouting pressure according to the real-time monitored strain data, with the pressure adjustment response time ≤ 500ms;

[0010] S4: When the pH value of the concrete environment is detected to drop to 11.5±0.3, the self-repairing microcapsules are activated to release the repair components.

[0011] The initial setting time of the two-component concrete satisfies t=C·e -k(r-1) , C = 55-65 seconds, k = 0.12-0.18, r is the volume ratio of A / B liquid.

Preferably, the magnetic field strength B of the vortex generator of the underwater robot cluster and the grouting speed v satisfy B=0.5+0.25v 2 (T), the unit of v is m / s, and the error of concrete diffusion radius is controlled to be ≤5%.

[0013] Preferably, the rupture triggering condition of the self-repairing microcapsule is ΔE>45mV, where ΔE is the potential change, corresponding to a pH value drop of ≥1.2.

[0014] Preferably, the porosity variation gradient of the gradient pore structure satisfies ▽P=0.25-0.02d (% / mm), where d is the coordinate in the thickness direction of the membrane bag (mm), to ensure the uniformity of grouting penetration.

[0015] Preferably, 15-25 vol% of graphene aerogel aggregate is added to the two-component concrete, and its pore size distribution satisfies log(D)=1.5-0.3V(μm), where V is the volume percentage of aerogel (%).

[0016] Preferably, the dynamic pressure regulation follows P=0.2+0.15ε (MPa), where ε is the measured strain (με) on the membrane bag surface, and the control range is 50-500 (με).

[0019] Preferably, the energy efficiency of the wireless sensor of the smart membrane bag satisfies η≥0.75-0.04log(D)(%), where D is the water depth (m), ensuring that η≥65% at a water depth of 50m.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of the underwater membrane bag concrete reinforcement construction method for anti-scouring reinforcement of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This invention uses a gradient pore structure, unlike traditional membrane bags, which have a single pore size. This helps ensure uniform concrete penetration during pouring and resists scouring after forming.

The new two-component rapid-setting concrete allows for rapid formation, minimizing the impact of water scouring. It also possesses self-healing capabilities, automatically repairing cracks when environmental conditions permit, extending the life of the structure.

[0022] 2. This invention utilizes a distributed positioning algorithm for precise positioning, ensuring accurate placement of membrane bags and concrete pouring. A swarm of underwater robots enables multi-device collaboration, precisely controlling concrete spread and ensuring effective construction. The new method adjusts pressure in real time based on membrane bag strain, providing rapid response. The energy efficiency of wireless sensors within the intelligent membrane bags varies with water depth, ensuring long-term, stable monitoring.

[0023] 3. This invention uses graphene aerogel aggregate to reinforce concrete, effectively resisting erosion. Its novel self-healing system can promptly control crack development, reducing maintenance costs and mitigating structural safety risks. Real-time monitoring using wireless sensors and precise quantitative indicators assess structural performance, providing a reliable basis for maintenance decisions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
