Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering, and in particular to a double-walled steel cofferdam reinforced with a combination of deep-water, high-velocity, and shallow overburden layers, and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of transportation infrastructure construction, an increasing number of bridges need to be built in harsh aquatic environments. Deep water environments significantly increase the water pressure on cofferdams, dramatically increasing construction difficulty and risk. High flow velocities not only exert strong scouring forces on the cofferdam structure but also affect the stability of various materials and equipment during construction. Furthermore, shallow overburden layers cannot provide sufficient anchoring force for the cofferdam, making stable placement difficult. Against this backdrop, traditional single-wall steel cofferdams and earthen cofferdams are insufficient to meet construction requirements, easily leading to deformation, collapse, and other safety accidents, severely impacting project progress and quality. Therefore, developing a cofferdam construction technology suitable for deep-water, high-velocity, shallow-overburden layers is urgently needed to solve the challenges of bridge foundation construction under complex aquatic conditions and ensure the smooth progress of projects.
[0003] Conventional cofferdam construction suffers from problems such as poor overall stability of the cofferdam, low efficiency in connecting and positioning steel casings, and low efficiency in treating the cutting edge of the cofferdam. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a deep-water, high-velocity, shallow-cover layer reinforced double-walled steel cofferdam and its construction, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a construction method for a double-walled steel cofferdam reinforced with a combination of deep-water, high-velocity, and shallow overburden layers, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step 1, Steel casing construction: The steel casing is installed and positioned using a steel casing guide and stabilizing device. During the connection of the upper and lower steel casings, internal guide steel plates and steel clamps are used for connection.
[0007] Step 2: Reinforcement of the cofferdam with steel casing: Install steel casing reinforcement supports inside the steel casing and fill it with sand;
[0008] Step 3: Cofferdam sinking: Carry out the sinking construction of the double-walled steel caisson cofferdam. After the double-walled steel caisson cofferdam is sinking, use cofferdam reinforcement steel casing and cofferdam reinforcement support to reinforce the water-facing side of the cofferdam.
[0009] Step 4: Treatment of the cutting edge of the cofferdam: The cutting edge of the lower part of the double-walled steel cofferdam is adjusted and fixed using adjustable elevation steel supports;
[0010] Step 5: Pouring the bottom sealing concrete: The bottom sealing concrete of the cofferdam is poured. The steel casing and the double-walled steel caisson cofferdam are anchored to the bottom sealing concrete by the steel casing anchor plate and the cofferdam anchor plate, respectively.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0012] (1) The steel casing of the cofferdam is reinforced by using a cofferdam reinforcement support and sand filling treatment to improve the stability of the steel casing of the cofferdam on the water-facing side.
[0013] (2) A steel casing guide and stabilizing device is used to guide and position the steel casing, and internal guide steel plates and steel clamps are used to connect the steel casing, thereby improving the construction efficiency of the steel casing.
[0014] (3) An adjustable elevation steel support structure is used to support the cutting edge of the cofferdam, thereby improving the construction efficiency of the cutting edge treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Step 4, Treatment of the cutting edge 26 of the cofferdam: The cutting edge 26 of the lower part of the double-walled steel cofferdam 1 is adjusted and fixed by the adjustable elevation steel support 27. After the lower support steel plate 31 and the upper support steel plate 32 of the adjustable elevation steel support 27 are adjusted into place, they are fixed by the fixed support 29. The inner guide support steel plate 35 and the outer guide support steel plate 36 are fixed by the adjusting slide 34 and the support fixing bolt 33.
[0029] Step 5, bottom sealing concrete 11 pouring: The bottom sealing concrete 11 of the cofferdam is poured. The steel casing 8 and the double-walled steel casing cofferdam 1 are anchored to the bottom sealing concrete 11 by the steel casing anchor plate 12 and the cofferdam anchor plate 13, respectively.
[0030] like Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the structure of a double-walled steel-casing cofferdam 1 reinforced with a combined structure for deep-water, high-velocity, and shallow-overburden layers.

For the construction of the double-walled steel-casing cofferdam 1 reinforced with a combined structure for deep-water, high-velocity, and shallow-overburden layers, a reinforcing steel casing 2 is installed on the inner side of the water-facing side of the double-walled steel-casing cofferdam 1. A reinforcing support 5 is installed between the reinforcing steel casing 2 and the double-walled steel-casing cofferdam 1 to reinforce the water-facing cofferdam 4, improving the overall stability of the cofferdam. The internal stability of the reinforcing steel casing 2 is enhanced by sand filling treatment 3 and the steel casing reinforcement support 6. The reinforcing steel casings 2 are connected by steel casing stabilizing steel pipe columns 7.
[0031] like Figure 2 The cross-sectional view of the double-walled steel casing cofferdam 1 shown shows that the bottom of the steel casing 8 and the double-walled steel casing cofferdam 1 are anchored to the bottom sealing concrete 11 by the steel casing anchoring wing plate 12 and the cofferdam anchoring wing plate 13, respectively.

After the steel clamp 25 surrounds the splice of the upper steel casing 20 and the lower steel casing 24, the clamp fixing connection plates 23 at both ends of the steel clamp 25 are fixed by fixing bolts 22 so that the steel clamp 25 positions the outside of the splice of the upper steel casing 20 and the lower steel casing 24.
[0035] The upper part of the internal guide steel plate 21 is connected to the inner wall of the upper steel casing 20, and the lower part of the internal guide steel plate 21 is inclined inward to guide the end of the lower steel casing 24.
[0036] like Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the cofferdam cutting edge 26. The lower cofferdam cutting edge 26 of the double-walled steel-casing cofferdam 1 is adjusted and fixed using adjustable elevation steel supports 27.
