Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to building construction, in particular to a method for treating karst slurry leakage in pile foundations in karst areas. Background Art

[0002] Impact of Karst on Subway Projects

[0003] Karst is widespread in southern my country. When underground projects are located near or through karst caves, they can cause karst collapse, deformation and collapse of support structures, and water and mud inrush from foundation pits. These hazards can impact construction progress and structural safety, while also polluting the ecological environment. Therefore, karst treatment is crucial.

[0004] This is particularly true of the Shidengzi Formation, which is primarily composed of soluble carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite. Carbonate rocks are easily dissolved by water, especially water containing carbon dioxide, which can easily form karst landforms such as cavities, underground rivers, and caves. Consequently, the Shidengzi Formation has a strong development of karst caves and fissures, leading to grout leakage during pile foundation construction in this area.

[0005] The complex geological conditions of karst increase construction difficulty and costs, and may also threaten project safety and quality. Therefore, when carrying out construction in karst areas, targeted treatment measures must be taken to reduce the adverse effects of karst and ensure the smooth progress of the project. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for treating karst grout leakage in pile foundations in karst areas, so as to solve the technical problem of pile foundation grout leakage caused by karst and fissure development in the pile foundation.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for treating karst grout leakage in pile foundations in karst areas, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step S1: pre-embed the casing structure in the pile:

[0009] A casing structure is set up that extends vertically downward from the ground level to a predetermined depth. A temporary filling material with a blocking and pressure-bearing effect is filled into the pile through the casing structure to seal potential slurry leakage channels in karst development areas and achieve stratum stabilization.

[0010] Step S2: constructing grouting holes inside the pile body:

[0011] At least one pile grouting hole is arranged in the axial or radial direction in the pile structure, and a pre-proportioned slurry material is injected into the pile grouting hole by a high-pressure grouting device, wherein the slurry material forms a composite stratum reinforcement structure around the pile structure to enhance the mechanical properties of the pile-soil interface;

[0012] Step S3, implementing the pile circumferential grouting sealing process:

[0013] In the circumferential area of ​​the pile body structure, a group of pile-circumferential grouting holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction are provided, and the pile-circumferential grouting holes sequentially penetrate the ground layer and the rock-soil interface layer; pre-proportioned slurry material is injected into the development area of ​​karst fissures through the grouting hole group to form a blocking layer that closes the slurry loss channel, and the blocking layer fills the karst cave fissure network through the penetration and diffusion of the slurry.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower end of the casing structure is at least 1.5 times the pile diameter away from the top of the karst development area.

[0015] Furthermore, the arrangement of the circumferential grouting holes around the pile is as follows:

[0016] The holes are arranged in a plum blossom shape from the center of the pile to the outside, with a hole spacing of 2m, and the vertical hole depth must reach 2m below the pile bottom elevation.

[0017] Furthermore, a method for determining a pile foundation leakage point is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Step S41, during the pile foundation drilling process, real-time monitoring of the slurry level in the pile hole;

[0019] Step S42: when it is detected that the slurry level drops suddenly within a preset time period, and the drop exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined that there is a slurry leakage point at the current excavation pile bottom elevation;

[0020] Step S43, replenishing slurry into the pile hole through a grouting operation to maintain the slurry liquid level;

[0021] Step S44, calculating the slurry loss rate at the slurry leakage point according to the slurry filling speed of the slurry filling operation;

[0022] Step S44: preliminarily judging the development degree of the rock fissures at the leakage point based on the magnitude of the slurry loss rate. The faster the loss rate, the higher the development degree of the fissures.

[0023] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor and a data acquisition device are provided. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the data acquisition device and transmits monitoring data to the control system in real time.

[0024] Furthermore, the preset time period is 1-5 minutes, and the preset threshold is when the mud level drops by more than 1 / 10 of the pile hole diameter.

[0025] Furthermore, the slurry replenishment operation is performed by an automatically controlled mud pump, and the flow rate of the mud pump is adjusted in real time by the control system according to changes in the liquid level.

[0026] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the slurry loss rate is v=tQ;

[0027] Where v is the loss velocity (unit: m 3 / min), Q is the slurry volume per unit time (m 3 ), t is the grouting time (min).

[0028] Furthermore, the criteria for determining the degree of rock fissure development include:

[0029] When the loss velocity v<0.1m 3 / min, it is judged that the degree of fissure development is low;

[0030] When 0.1≤v<0.3m 3 / min, it is judged that the degree of fissure development is moderate;

[0031] When v≥0.3m 3 / min, it is judged that the degree of crack development is high.

[0032] Furthermore, the method also includes suspending the pile foundation drilling operation after determining the leakage point, making geological records of the rock cracks at the leakage point, and adjusting subsequent construction parameters.

[0033] The method for treating karst grout leakage in pile foundations in karst areas provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0034] This method is a comprehensive approach for pile foundation construction in karst areas. Through a phased approach, it first uses a pre-buried casing structure to vertically seal the karst development zone from the surface to the shallow layer, forming a concrete pile body structure, sealing potential leakage channels and stabilizing the stratum. Secondly, grouting channels are laid out within the pile body, using high-pressure grouting to enhance the mechanical properties of the pile-soil interface, filling small cracks and blocking leakage paths in the middle layer. Finally, slurry is injected into the deep karst fissures through a group of circumferential grouting holes around the pile, forming a blocking layer that completely seals the karst caves and large crack networks, preventing slurry loss and improving the concrete filling density. This method, through a three-level sealing system of casing sealing, pile body grouting, and circumferential grouting, constructs a three-dimensional protective structure (surface-middle-deep layer). This not only significantly enhances stratum stability and reduces the risk of karst collapse, water and mud inrush, but also improves the bearing capacity of the pile foundation and construction efficiency through the synergistic effect of multi-scale grouting processes. In short, by drilling holes around the pile foundation to treat karst cracks and backfilling with concrete and grouting the pile body, problems such as pile foundation leakage, hole collapse, and insufficient bearing capacity in karst areas can be solved, and the stability and bearing capacity of the pile foundation can be improved.

[0042] A casing structure 101 is provided, extending vertically downward from the ground level to a predetermined depth. A temporary filling material 103 with a sealing and pressure-bearing effect is poured into the pile through the casing structure 101 to seal potential grout leakage channels in the karst development area and achieve stratum stabilization.

[0043] Step S2: constructing grouting holes inside the pile body:

[0044] At least one pile grouting hole 105 is arranged in the axial or radial direction in the pile structure, and a pre-proportioned slurry material is injected into the pile grouting hole 105 by a high-pressure grouting device. The slurry material forms a composite stratum reinforcement structure around the pile structure to enhance the mechanical properties of the pile-soil interface;

[0045] Step S3, implementing the pile circumferential grouting sealing process:

[0046] In the circumferential area of ​​the pile body structure, a group of pile grouting holes 106 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction are provided, and the group of pile grouting holes 106 sequentially penetrates the ground layer and the rock-soil interface layer; pre-proportioned slurry material is injected into the 104 development zone of the karst fissure through the group of grouting holes to form a blocking layer that closes the slurry loss channel, and the blocking layer fills the karst cave fissure network through the infiltration and diffusion of the slurry.

[0047] The concrete medium is C15 fine stone concrete, and the top surface is at least 2m above the leakage point.

[0048] During the construction process, a multifunctional drilling and grouting machine was used to drill the grouting holes 105 in the pile body. The holes were drilled to 2m below the pile bottom elevation and then grouting was carried out in sections from bottom to top (each section was 0.5m long).

[0049] An XT-1 geological drilling rig is used to drill 106 grouting holes around the piles. The number of holes can be increased or decreased depending on the ground conditions.

[0050] The slump of concrete is controlled within the range of (80±15) mm, and an early strength agent is added to achieve a 28d compressive strength ≥40 MPa.

[0055] The holes are arranged in a plum blossom shape from the center of the pile to the outside, with a hole spacing of 2m, and the vertical hole depth must reach 2m below the pile bottom elevation.

[0056] Furthermore, a method for determining a pile foundation leakage point is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step S42: when it is detected that the slurry level drops suddenly within a preset time period, and the drop exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined that there is a slurry leakage point at the current excavation pile bottom elevation;

[0059] Step S43, replenishing slurry into the pile hole through a grouting operation to maintain the slurry liquid level;

[0060] Step S44, calculating the slurry loss rate at the slurry leakage point according to the slurry filling speed of the slurry filling operation;

[0061] Step S44: preliminarily judging the development degree of the rock fissures at the leakage point based on the magnitude of the slurry loss rate. The faster the loss rate, the higher the development degree of the fissures.

[0062] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor and a data acquisition device are provided. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the data acquisition device and transmits monitoring data to the control system in real time.

[0063] Furthermore, the preset time period is 1-5 minutes, and the preset threshold is when the mud level drops by more than 1 / 10 of the pile hole diameter.

[0064] Furthermore, the slurry replenishment operation is performed by an automatically controlled mud pump, and the flow rate of the mud pump is adjusted in real time by the control system according to changes in the liquid level.

[0065] Furthermore, the calculation formula of the slurry loss rate is v=tQ;

[0066] Where v is the loss velocity (unit: m 3 / min), Q is the slurry volume per unit time (m 3 ), t is the grouting time (min).

[0070] When v≥0.3m 3 / min, it is judged that the degree of crack development is high.

[0071] Furthermore, the method also includes suspending the pile foundation drilling operation after determining the leakage point, making geological records of the rock cracks at the leakage point, and adjusting subsequent construction parameters.

Through segmented grouting, circumferential and angular hole arrangement, and vertical drilling design that penetrates the rock-soil interface layer, the construction efficiency and comprehensive grouting coverage are ensured, effectively solving the problem of pile foundation leakage in karst areas and ensuring the long-term stability of the project.
