Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible retaining dam construction in garbage landfills, and in particular relates to a flexible retaining dam construction method in garbage landfills based on anchoring of crushed stone ton bags. Background Art

[0002] In landfill dam projects, traditional dam technologies have the following main problems: 1. Rigid dam structures: Primarily constructed of concrete or mortar-stone masonry, these structures offer high strength but lack flexibility. They are often used for debris flow prevention or landfill slope reinforcement. For example, mortar-stone dams, combined with sluice holes and reinforced mesh, can drain water through the sluice holes, but their overall rigidity makes them susceptible to structural damage from impacts such as landfills or debris flows, making repair difficult and their impact resistance limited.

[0003] Reinforced geotextile retaining dam: Geotextile is used to reinforce graded crushed stone to form a flexible structure, such as a high-steep reinforced retaining dam. It has certain deformation adaptability and anti-sliding stability, but it is sensitive to the leachate water level and has insufficient permeability, which can easily lead to leachate accumulation. When the accumulated liquid level rises, it may cause the dam body to slip. If the leachate water level is too high, the stability coefficient will be reduced.

[0004] Composite cutoff wall technology, such as the GCL composite vertical flexible cutoff wall, is primarily used for seepage prevention rather than as a retaining wall. While it can prevent the spread of pollutants, it cannot address the lateral thrust of the waste pile. Furthermore, composite cutoff walls require complex construction processes, such as the fabrication of guide walls and slurry wall protection. This leads to long construction times and high costs, making it difficult to adapt to the rapid emergency response needs of landfills.

[0005] Traditional flexible landfill renovation technology: Rigid landfill renovation uses reinforced concrete unit pools to enhance stability, but the cost is high and the construction is complex, making it difficult to adapt to the rapid renovation needs of existing flexible landfills.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a flexible retaining dam construction method based on crushed stone ton bags anchoring landfill. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible dam construction method for a landfill based on gravel ton bags anchoring in order to effectively resist the lateral thrust of a garbage pile or the impact of a debris flow, avoid the risk of dam failure, improve the impact resistance of the dam, and improve the safety of the dam body.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows: Based on the construction method of flexible retaining dam of crushed stone ton bag anchored landfill, the construction method is as follows: S1: Site survey and cleaning, clearing garbage and debris within the dam foundation, ensuring the base is flat, measuring and laying out, marking the dam axis, anti-slip tooth positions and ton bag stacking reference line; S2: Anti-slip teeth construction: excavate a trench along the dam foot with a depth of 0.5m and a width of 0.5m, lay Φ8 steel mesh, pour C30 concrete, and cure for 7 days; S3: Pre-loading and transportation of ton bags: 1 ton of gravel is pre-loaded into HDPE ton bags at the factory, sealed and transported to the site. The ton bags should be stacked ≤ 2 layers to avoid squeezing and deformation. S4: Ton bags are stacked in a stepped manner, starting from the anti-slip teeth along the dam axis, and the bags are staggered layer by layer. Positioning piles are used to fix the bags in place, ensuring that the verticality deviation is ≤2%; S5: Fill in layers, fill the inner side of the ton bag with 3~5cm graded gravel in layers, with each layer thickness ≤0.5m, compact the layers to a porosity ≤35%, and use a vibratory roller to roll 3~5 times, with a compaction degree ≥95%; S6: Connect the drainage ditch with the anti-seepage membrane. Dig a flexible drainage ditch on top of the gravel layer and lay a 1.5mm HDPE membrane, which is then hot-melt welded to the anti-seepage membrane of the garbage pile. S7: Installation of seepage pipe: pre-buried DN160 perforated HDPE pipe in the graded gravel layer with a slope of ≥3%, connected to the downstream regulating pond, and covered with geotextile on the top of the pipe to prevent clogging; S8: Gas drainage pipe connection: reserve gas drainage holes every 10m between the ton bag layers and connect them to the DN160 landfill gas collection pipe; S9: Quality inspection and repair, including water permeability inspection and stability inspection. If the ton bag is found to be damaged or the film is cracked during the inspection, hot-melt repairs can be made with patches of the same material, and the repair range shall exceed the damaged edge by ≥0.2m.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the size of the ton bag is 1.0 m long × 1.0 m wide × 0.8 m high, and the weight of each bag of gravel is ≤ 1 ton.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the graded gravel has a particle size of 3-5 cm, a mud content of ≤3%, a porosity of 30%-40%, a compressive strength of ≥20 MPa, and a crushing value of ≤15%.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the height of the dam is 3.5~4.0m and can be adjusted according to the height of the garbage pile. The top width is ≥3.0m, the bottom width is ≥10.0m, the slope is 1:3~1:4, and each layer of the ton bag is 0.8m high, and the staggered overlap length is ≥0.3m.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lifting equipment for the ton bag is a 5-ton crane, the compacting equipment for compacting the gravel layer is a 2.5-ton vibratory roller, and the welding equipment for welding the HDPE film is a double-track hot-melt welding machine.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the distance between two adjacent positioning piles is 2m.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the flexible drainage ditch is 0.5 m wide and 0.3 m deep.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the water permeability test is to inject water upstream of the dam body to the designed water level and detect that the drainage rate is ≥10m³ / h to meet the leachate drainage requirements.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stability detection is to use an inclinometer to monitor the displacement of the dam body, and the allowable deformation is ≤5cm / year.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In the present invention, 1-ton HDPE woven bags are pre-filled with gravel and stacked in a stepped manner to form an impact-resistant skeleton. Each layer of ton bags is staggered to enhance integrity, and 3-5 cm graded gravel is filled inside the ton bag skeleton. The interlocking effect of the gravel is utilized to enhance the stability of the dam body, while the accumulated leachate pressure is reduced through pore water permeability. Then, trenches are excavated at the dam foot and concrete anti-slip teeth are poured to form a mechanical bite with the ton bag anchor layer to prevent the dam body from slipping. The above method can make the ton bag anchor layer withstand an impact load of 5 tons / m2, far exceeding that of traditional sandbags. Combined with the anti-slip tooth design, it can effectively resist the lateral thrust of the garbage dump or the impact of mud and rock flow, avoid the risk of dam collapse, and improve the impact resistance of the dam.

[0018] In the present invention, the gaps in the ton bags and the graded gravel layer form a natural drainage channel, which is combined with the flexible drainage ditch to achieve high drainage for high water and low drainage for low water, reducing dependence on water pumps. Moreover, the ton bag structure allows the dam body to undergo limited deformation under external loads, disperses stress concentration, and avoids fracture of the rigid structure due to local overload. Through the above method, the water permeability efficiency of the dam can be improved compared with the traditional grouted stone dam, alleviates the problem of dam body slippage caused by leachate accumulation, and improves the safety of the dam body through the synergistic effect of the ton bags and gravel.

[0019] In the present invention, prefabricated ton bags are used to reduce on-site operation time, adapt to complex terrain, and positioning piles and connectors are used to achieve rapid splicing of ton bag units. It is suitable for emergency rescue scenarios and shortens construction period. Pre-installed ton bags can reduce manpower requirements and thus improve construction efficiency.

[0020] In the present invention, the method can be adapted to multiple scenarios such as landfills, river embankments, and areas prone to mudslides, and is particularly suitable for solving water accumulation problems in reservoirs where leachate is stored, and has high applicability.
