Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sluice gate engineering technology, specifically to a prefabricated gate bottom plate structure and construction method. Background Technology

[0002] As the core load-bearing component of a sluice gate project, the structural form and construction technology of the gate bottom slab directly affect the project quality, schedule, and cost. Traditional cast-in-place gate bottom slab technology is mature but suffers from problems such as low efficiency and strong environmental dependence. In contrast, prefabricated gate bottom slabs have significant advantages in the application of large-span waterways with busy shipping traffic due to their advantages of industrialized production and rapid construction.

[0003] Representative projects among the large-span navigation channel sluice gates completed both domestically and internationally include: the Thames Tide Barrier in the UK, with a maximum orifice width of 61m, featuring a monolithic cast-in-place reinforced concrete caisson foundation, achieved through a combination of prefabrication and cast-in-place construction techniques; and the Masland Wave Barrier in the Netherlands, with a span of 360m, its foundation consisting of three main systems: a prestressed concrete caisson foundation, a spherical hinged support platform, and a gradually changing steel-concrete composite structure. my country's earliest large-span sluice gate project is the Changzhou New Sluice Gate in Jiangsu Province, with a maximum orifice width of 60m and employing a monolithic flat floor. In recent years, with the development of urban water conservancy projects towards larger scale and more aesthetically pleasing designs, and the widespread application of new materials, the design and research of new sluice gates has become an important development trend. Typical engineering examples include: the Suzhou Creek Sluice Gate in Shanghai, with a single-orifice clear width of 100m; the Sanchahekou Sluice Gate on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, with a maximum orifice width of 40m; and the Changzhou Bell Tower Sluice Gate, with a gate width of 90m.

[0004] Currently, tide gates are mainly classified into three structural types: integral cast-in-place, prefabricated, and steel-concrete hybrid. Most gate base slabs are constructed using cast-in-place construction techniques, with two main structural behaviors: integral cast-in-place base slabs and separate base slabs. In integral cast-in-place base slabs, the gate pier and base slab are cast as a single unit, with segmental joints located on the gate pier. Separate base slabs separate the gate pier and base slab by setting settlement joints, allowing for separate casting. While cast-in-place gate base slabs offer good integrity and seismic performance, making them suitable for complex foundations, they still present challenges such as long construction periods, susceptibility to temperature cracks, and significant dust and noise pollution from on-site dry construction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a prefabricated gate bottom plate structure and construction method, solving the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a prefabricated gate bottom plate structure, comprising: multiple vertically arranged steel pipe piles, and multiple prefabricated casing modules; The casing modules are assembled to form the gate bottom plate body; Each housing module contains multiple compartment units, which are arranged longitudinally in a toothed structure.

Set the floating water level and the docking water level according to the tide. Step S33: The tugboat tows the container module to the outfitting dock for mooring, and installs a measurement and control tower on the container module. The measurement and control tower is equipped with a floating stabilization controller, winch and connecting cable. The floating stabilization controller is used to adjust the water level in the compartment unit to a stable state. Step S34: The vessel is floated and towed to the construction site under the traction of a shore winch and ground anchor.

[0013] Preferably, step S4 includes: Step S41: Use suction anchor blocks to position the housing module; Step S42: Overcome transcritical instability by using a crane ship to lift and sink the vessel, and simultaneously adjust the water level of each compartment unit through a floating stability controller. Step S43: Control the elevation and planar position of the control box module by measuring the relative position of the control tower and the gate pier; Step S44: Open the vent hole to allow the casing module to rest on top of the steel pipe pile.

[0014] Preferably, step S5 includes: In step S51, after the gate bottom plate casing is installed in place, the diver connects the concrete pouring pipe underwater, opens the drainage hole, and pours the sealing concrete underwater. Step S52: After confirming that the compartment unit is sealed, pour underwater non-segregating concrete in sections, and judge the pouring status based on the volume and the overflow of grout from the drainage holes. In step S53, the compartment unit is formed by pouring concrete using the duct method to create a whole.

[0015] Preferably, after the concrete construction of the gate bottom slab is completed, a backhoe dredger is used to backfill the over-excavated part of the foundation trench with crushed stone up to the bottom elevation of the revetment.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention involves prefabricating the gate bottom slab into multiple modular casings in a factory and assembling them on-site. After the casings are installed, divers connect the concrete pouring pipes underwater, open the drainage holes, and pour underwater sealing concrete. Once the casings are confirmed to be sealed, underwater non-segregating concrete is poured in sections. The pouring progress is judged based on the volume and the amount of grout overflowing from the drainage holes. A tremie pipe method is used between the casings to pour concrete and form a unified structure, enabling rapid construction of the gate bottom slab and shortening the construction period.

[0021] The top of the housing module 3 is equipped with a measurement and control tower 4, which integrates a floating stability controller 41, a winch 42 and a connecting cable 43.
