Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects, and in particular to a honeycomb trapezoidal riprap frame for a seawall structure and a construction method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Soft, muddy soils are widely distributed along China's coast, characterized by low strength, low permeability, and high compressibility. Furthermore, China's coastal areas are commonly subject to storm surges during typhoon season. Seawalls are crucial safety barriers for protecting people's lives and property, and are a key infrastructure investment for the national government. Traditional earth-rock embankments constructed in areas with deep, soft soil and strong winds and waves typically employ a stone-front, earth-back structure. Specifically, the offshore side utilizes riprap and artificial block slope protection, while the landside utilizes mud coating to seal and prevent air seepage.
[0003] Traditional earth-riprap embankments are constructed by piling small riprap into a sloped bottom, then laying large precast concrete slope protection structures on top of the riprap. However, due to the lack of a strong containment structure for the riprap, this type of riprap embankment is susceptible to long-term tidal erosion and unfavorable soft terrain and geological conditions, leading to instability and loss of the seawall, resulting in low stability.

[0008] Preferably, annular grooves are provided on both sides of the slot at the periphery of the grouting channel entrance, the diameter of the annular grooves is larger than the connecting hole, and a rubber ring protruding into the slot is embedded in the annular grooves.
[0009] A method for constructing a honeycomb trapezoidal riprap for a seawall structure comprises the following steps: S1: Calculate the installation position of the support column based on the distance from the center point of the diamond-shaped block body to the center point of the semicircular groove. Insert the support column into the soft soil foundation by driving the pile at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions. At the same time, align the through groove with the 45° angle between the horizontal and vertical lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] like Figure 9As shown, the seawall structure usually includes a levee body 4, a riprap slope levee, a large-block slope protection structure 6, an airtight earthwork 7 on the land side, inner slope greening 8, a composite foundation 9, and a pile foundation 10. Soft soil foundations 9 are set on both sides of the levee body 4. The riprap slope levee is located on the soft soil foundation 9 on the outside of the levee body 4, and the airtight earthwork 7 on the land side is located on the soft soil foundation 9 on the inside of the levee body 4. Inner slope greening 8 is planted on the airtight earthwork 7 on the land side. The large-block slope protection structure 6 is laid on the riprap slope levee. The levee body 4 is a hollow reinforced concrete frame structure. The foundation of the levee body 2 is a middle pile foundation 10. The pile foundation 10 is used to transfer the load of the levee body 4 to the deep part of the foundation soil. The levee body 4 structure is not easy to sink, and no additional stress is generated on the soft soil foundations 9 on both sides, and the back pressure structure on both sides is small.
[0015] The present application aims to improve the riprap slope embankment, in which the existing riprap slope embankment is formed by piling up small ripraps.
[0016] The embodiment of the present invention provides a honeycomb trapezoidal riprap frame for seawall structure. Figure 1-9 As shown, the honeycomb trapezoidal riprap frame 1 is composed of several diamond-shaped modules 2, support columns 3, and small ripraps, forming a trapezoidal slope protection structure. The diamond-shaped modules 2 are stacked in a regular, alternating pattern, with adjacent diamond-shaped modules 2 supported and connected by support columns 3. The diamond-shaped modules 2 are filled with small ripraps. This creates a new riprap slope embankment. The honeycomb trapezoidal riprap frame 1 restrains the small ripraps 5, preventing them from being washed away by tidal currents and causing risks such as piping. It also distributes the load stress of the small ripraps in a block-like manner across the diamond-shaped modules 2, significantly improving the stability of the seawall and reducing the risk of dam failure.
[0017] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the diamond-shaped module 2 includes a diamond-shaped block body 21. The diamond-shaped block body 21 has a diamond-shaped structure with four identical sides. In this embodiment, the angles between the four sides are all 90°, that is, a square structure. Of course, other diamond-shaped structures that can achieve the same function are also possible. Semicircular grooves 22 are provided at the four corners of the diamond-shaped block body 21. The inner diameter of the semicircular grooves 22 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the support column 3. The semicircular grooves 22 of two adjacent diamond-shaped block bodies 21 can completely enclose the support column 3. The support column 3 is used to reinforce and position the adjacent diamond-shaped block bodies 21.
[0018] The middle positions of the upper and lower surfaces of the four sides of the diamond-shaped building block body 21 are vertically provided with a card slot 23. The width of the card slot 23 is slightly larger than the width of the frame of the diamond-shaped building block body 21, and the frame of the diamond-shaped building block body 21 can just fit into the card slot 23.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the slots 23 on the upper and lower diamond-shaped building block bodies 21 are connected to each other by mortise and tenon joints.
[0020] The four sides of the diamond-shaped block body 21 are all provided with seepage holes 24 with a diameter smaller than that of the small riprap. The seepage holes 24 are used to discharge the seawater that flows into the diamond-shaped block body 21.
[0021] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the support column 3 comprises a hollow tubular column 31 with four vertical slots 32 defined along its length on its sidewalls. The lengths of the tubular column 31 and the slots 32 are determined by the stacking height of the diamond-shaped modules 2. Each of the four slots 32 corresponds to two edges of two adjacent diamond-shaped building block bodies 21. Cement or fine sand concrete is grouted into the tubular column 31. The slots 32 are used to guide the cement grout or concrete poured into the tubular column 31 onto the diamond-shaped building block bodies 21.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, grouting channels 25 are horizontally arranged in the four sides of the diamond-shaped block body 21. The two ends of the grouting channel 25 pass through the semicircular groove 22 and the card groove 23 respectively. The grouting inlet 26 of the grouting channel 25 is arranged on the semicircular groove 22 and faces the through groove 32. The fine sand concrete poured from the pipe column 31 passes through the through groove 32 and the grouting inlet 26 into the grouting channel 25.
[0023] One end of the grouting channel 25, located on the inner wall of the slot 23, serves as a grouting outlet. Connecting holes 27 are provided on all four sides of the diamond-shaped block body 21. When the upper and lower diamond-shaped block bodies 21 are fully interlocked through the slot 23, the connecting holes 27 on both diamond-shaped block bodies 21 communicate with the corresponding grouting channels 25 on the opposing diamond-shaped block body 21. The grouting outlet is used to guide concrete into the connecting holes 27.
[0024] To prevent concrete from leaking out of the grouting outlet, annular grooves 28 are provided on both sides of the slot 23, surrounding the entrance of the grouting channel 25. The diameter of the annular grooves 28 is larger than the connecting hole 27, and a rubber ring protruding into the slot 23 is embedded in the annular grooves 28. When the upper and lower diamond-shaped building block bodies 21 are engaged with each other through the slot 23, the rubber ring on the outside of the slot 23 presses against the outside of the connecting hole 27 of the corresponding diamond-shaped building block body 21, thereby preventing concrete from leaking out.
[0025] By pouring cement slurry or fine sand concrete from the pipe column 31, the support column 3 and the diamond modules 2, as well as the upper and lower alternating diamond modules 2, are cast and connected into one body, so that the overall resistance to small riprap load and stability of the honeycomb trapezoidal riprap frame 1 are greatly improved and not easy to collapse.
[0026] A method for constructing a honeycomb trapezoidal riprap for a seawall structure comprises the following steps: S1: If Figure 4As shown, the installation position of the support column 3 is calculated based on the distance from the center point of the diamond-shaped building block body 21 to the center point of the semicircular groove 22, and the support column 3 is inserted into the soft soil foundation by piling at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions. At the same time, the through groove 32 is aligned with the 45° angle line between the horizontal line and the vertical line. The length of the support column 3 exposed from the soft soil foundation is lowered from the inside to the outside to the soft soil foundation beach surface according to the shape of the honeycomb trapezoidal riprap, so that it forms a trapezoidal shape.
[0027] S2: Arrange the bottom diamond modules 2, and the adjacent diamond block bodies 21 are connected by semicircular grooves 22. The two semicircular grooves 22 wrap the support columns 3 at the corresponding positions. The positions of the support columns 3 in the horizontal and vertical directions are the center points of the diamond block body 21 and the center points of the two semicircular grooves 22, which are arranged alternately; that is, the semicircular grooves 22 on the bottom diamond module 2 wrap and connect as follows Figure 6 The second, fourth, sixth and other even-numbered vertical columns are arranged in the vertical direction.
[0028] S3: Arrange the second layer, the number of diamond modules 2 in the longitudinal direction is reduced by one or more, and the adjacent diamond block bodies 21 are connected by semicircular grooves 22. The two semicircular grooves 22 are wrapped around the support column 3 located at the center of the diamond block body 21 of the first layer. That is to say, the semicircular grooves 22 on the diamond module 2 of the second layer are wrapped and connected as follows. Figure 6 The first, third, fifth and other odd-numbered vertical columns are arranged in the longitudinal direction. The slots 23 of the second layer of diamond-shaped building blocks 21 are engaged with the slots 23 on the first layer of diamond-shaped building blocks 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.
[0029] S4: Arrange N+1 layers. The arrangement is consistent with the idea of S3. It is worth noting that the diamond modules 2 of the odd layers are connected to the even columns of the support columns 3, and the diamond modules 2 of the even layers are connected to the odd columns of the support columns 3. Until the diamond modules 2 are stacked to the honeycomb trapezoidal riprap 1 in the shape of a trapezoidal slope protection, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown.
[0030] S5: Cement slurry or fine sand concrete is injected into each pipe column 31. The cement slurry or fine sand concrete enters the grouting channel 25 through the through groove 32 and the grouting inlet 26, and enters the connecting hole 27 from the other end of the grouting channel 25. Figure 8 shown.
[0031] S6: As Figure 9As shown, after the cement paste or fine sand concrete is dried and hardened, small riprap 5 is filled into the diamond block body 21 until the uppermost diamond block body 21 is filled and overflows to cover the diamond block body 21, forming a slope structure that is first horizontal and then inclined. The overflowing small riprap 5 can protect the diamond block body 21. A layer of prefabricated reinforced concrete large block slope protection structure 6 is laid on the small riprap 5 layer.
[0032] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
