Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water conservancy engineering, and in particular relates to an assembled concrete self-stabilizing pond dam and a construction method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As traditional water conservancy projects, ponds and dams play an important role in agricultural irrigation and domestic water regulation. However, traditional ponds and dams, mostly constructed of earth and stone or cast-in-situ concrete, have significant drawbacks: First, they have a long construction period, relying on complex formwork and maintenance processes, resulting in low efficiency. Second, they are demanding on topographical and geological conditions, requiring large-scale excavation or backfilling, which is a large project and detrimental to the ecological environment. Third, anti-seepage measures rely on clay core walls or grouting techniques, which are prone to leakage due to improper treatment scope, poor quality, or foundation settlement. Since leaks are difficult to accurately locate, repairs are difficult and maintenance costs are high. Finally, due to structural limitations, scour and seismic resistance are poor, posing significant safety risks under high water levels.
[0003] While the recent popularity of hydraulic membrane technology has partially addressed the anti-seepage problem, existing prefabricated dams still have shortcomings: prefabricated components are bulky and lack flexibility in assembly; the structure relies on rigid connections, making it difficult to adapt to foundation deformation; and the anti-slip stability design is limited, lacking a self-balancing mechanism under dynamic water levels. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a prefabricated dam that combines rapid construction, high stability, low cost, and adaptability to complex terrain. Summary of the Invention

Rectangular baffles are installed on the slope between the piers on the axis of the straight section of the dam. Isosceles trapezoidal baffles are installed on the lower part of the slope between the corner piers at the corner. The right-angled trapezoidal baffles are installed on the slope between the corner piers and the corner piers. All baffles are connected to the piers by bolts. The transverse joints between the baffles are all set on the piers, and they are connected to each other to form a slope inclined to the inside of the pond dam. The tops of adjacent piers of various types are connected by braces, and the outer sides of adjacent piers are erected with braces to form scissors braces. All piers are equipped with threading pipes running through the front and back. Tension cables are used to pull the corresponding side piers and corner piers in pairs. The cables pass through the threading pipes at the bottom of the piers. Anchor bolts are used on the outside of the piers to adjust the tension of the cables and fix them. Horizontal cables are connected to the bottom and top of all corner piers, and their tension direction is perpendicular to the contour line direction on the corner slope. A hydraulic membrane is laid inside the pond dam, and the edge of the hydraulic membrane is fixed on the top of the slope. A protective layer is set under the hydraulic membrane, and a hydraulic cloth is laid on the slope. A fine sand layer is laid at the bottom, and a number of flower pipes or drainage blind ditches are laid under the fine sand layer. The bottom of the pond dam is connected to the water supply pipe, mud discharge pipe and drainage pipe leading to the outside of the pond dam. The pipe openings of the water supply pipe and mud discharge pipe inside the pond dam are sealed and clamped with the hydraulic membrane through flanges or composite water tank joints, and valves are set at the external pipe openings. The drainage pipe is connected to the flower pipe or drainage blind ditch under the fine sand layer to drain the seepage water under the hydraulic membrane of the pond dam to the downstream river channel. A spillway is dug outside the pond dam and connected to the downstream river channel, and a spillway with a width smaller than the width of the spillway is opened on the top of the baffle above the spillway.
[0006] Furthermore, the elevation angle of the inclined planes of the sideline buttress and the corner buttress is less than 57.2°, and the length of the base is greater than 0.644 times the height of the buttress.
[0007] Furthermore, hydraulic fabrics are laid on the slopes, corners and joints of the water pipes, mud discharge pipes and hydraulic membranes of the pond dam, and the hydraulic fabrics are laid under the hydraulic membranes to strengthen the protection of the hydraulic membranes.

[0009] A method for constructing an assembled concrete self-stabilizing pond dam, characterized by comprising the following steps: S1. Based on the construction objectives and site conditions, design the overall dimensions of the pond and dam, determine the water depth and pier spacing, design the shapes and specifications of the baffles, piers and rafts, and prefabricate the assembly parts according to the calculated quantities.
[0010] S2: Clean, level and compact the ground or the slope close to the mountain, lay flower pipes, drainage blind ditches and fine sand layers within the construction site of the pond dam, and pre-bury drainage pipes, mud pipes and water pipes; dig spillways at the drainage points; S3: Install the raft and erect piers on the raft.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) Through the standardized design of prefabricated reinforced concrete components, factory production and modular assembly are achieved. The lightweight components greatly reduce the difficulty of transportation and lifting. Only simple splicing is required on site, which significantly shortens the construction period and is especially suitable for areas with difficult transportation.
[0012] (2) The symmetrical piers form a bidirectional tension balance through the cables, offsetting the water pressure thrust and ensuring the anti-slip stability of the dam body at any water level; the quantitative optimization design of the pier slope angle and the bottom edge length, combined with the rigid reinforcement of the support rods and scissors struts, forms a natural anti-overturning structure, breaking through the traditional dam body's stringent geological requirements for anti-seepage, and only requires the foundation to have a stable bearing capacity.
[0013] (3) Use fine sand and hydraulic cloth for composite protection: The hydraulic membrane forms an independent anti-seepage layer, which is suspended and fixed around the periphery, and the flange or composite water tank joint is used to seal the interface between the pipe and the hydraulic membrane to achieve full-area leakage-free. The hydraulic cloth and fine sand layer are laid at the key parts under the membrane, which have strong deformation adaptability, avoid stress concentration, prevent mechanical damage, and extend the service life of the hydraulic membrane.
[0014] (4) Compared with traditional pond dams, this invention essentially eliminates earthwork filling, and the hollow dam structure reduces engineering workload by 60%, overall costs by approximately 40%-50%, and construction period by more than 60%. Furthermore, it is removable and relocatable, significantly improving resource utilization. Its fully rigid material flexible splicing technology, mechanically self-stabilizing design, and modular construction model fill a technological gap in the field of prefabricated pond dams, and possesses significant promotional value and socio-economic benefits.
