Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rockery cave structure, and particularly relates to a method for supporting arch voussoirs of a rockery cave. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important landscaping element in gardens, the cave structure of a rockery not only adds unique spatial levels and interest to the garden, but also provides a place for visitors to rest and enjoy. In the structural design of traditional rockery caves, stone materials with natural forms and textures are often used to construct core supports and enclosure structures to create a realistic natural cave effect. Among them, full-stone voussoir arching is a relatively common and historical structure form. It can meet the basic bearing requirements of the cave to some extent due to the high strength and stability of stone materials, and exhibits a simple and natural style that complements the surrounding garden landscape, becoming a distinctive part of traditional garden architecture.

[0003] However, the existing rockery cave structure has many problems in actual application. On the one hand, the traditional full-stone voussoir arching method requires a large amount of stone materials during construction, resulting in high construction costs and a long construction period, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern garden construction for speed and efficiency. In particular, on soft soil foundations, full-stone voussoir arching is prone to cracking and even collapse due to uneven foundation settlement, which seriously affects the safety and durability of the cave structure. On the other hand, if a pure rammed earth arch structure is used, although it can be locally sourced to some extent, reducing material costs, the rammed earth has weak lateral pressure resistance, and a large number of wooden forms and supports are needed during construction to ensure its shape and stability. Moreover, the rammed earth surface is prone to peeling after the formwork is removed, which not only affects the aesthetics of the cave and reduces the landscape effect, but also requires frequent maintenance and repair, increasing the management cost in the later period. In addition, the "steel mesh sprayed concrete shell" scheme proposed in the prior art improves the strength of the cave structure to some extent, but the use of concrete makes the cave lose its natural stone interest, which is contrary to the concept of pursuing nature and harmony in gardens. At the same time, this scheme is expensive, further limiting its widespread application in rockery cave construction.

[0004] Therefore, a method for supporting arch voussoirs of a rockery cave with a rammed stone arch is proposed. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a method for supporting arch voussoirs of a rockery cave with a rammed stone arch to solve or alleviate one of the technical problems in the prior art, at least providing a beneficial choice.

[0006] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: a method for supporting arch voussoirs of a rockery cave with a rammed stone arch, comprising the following steps: S1: Hole positioning and foundation trench excavation: According to the design layout, excavate the hole base trench, compact the base and lay the gravel cushion, and use the total station to accurately lay out the center stake and axis of the hole according to the overall plan of the rockery. After mechanical excavation to the design elevation, manually trim the base trench slope and bottom. The base uses heavy compaction standards and is compacted using a flat tamper. Then lay a well-graded gravel cushion and use a flat tamper to flatten it to provide uniform support for the arch foot; S2: Side arch rockery masonry: Select thick stone for dry laying to the design arch line elevation, reserve a rough surface on the inside, and bury shear nails at the arch foot position. Select flat and high-strength yellow stone, use dry laying method, layer by layer staggered joint, ensure stable structure, after laying to the design arch line elevation, use a hammer to roughen the inside of the stone, forming a uniform rough surface, then bury 304 stainless steel shear nails in the stone gap at the arch foot line, so that they can effectively anchor into the subsequent rammed earth body to resist shear force; S3: Installation of deformable combined formwork system: Install the inner formwork composed of bamboo grid and outer PVC soft membrane, and fix and support it with adjustable steel hoops. Reserve a settlement allowance slot between the formwork outside and the side arch stone. Split mature bamboo into bamboo pieces, with the longitudinal as the main keel and the transverse as the secondary keel, and interlace them to form a firm semicircular arch skeleton. Wrap the skeleton tightly with transparent PVC soft membrane, seal the joints with waterproof tape to prevent slurry leakage. This soft membrane serves as both the forming surface for rammed earth and the smooth surface for easy demolding later. Bend flat steel into a semicircle, drill holes at both ends, and attach bolts to make adjustable radius steel hoops for clamping the bamboo grid to ensure that it does not deform under lateral pressure. Insert closed-cell foam plastic strips between the outside of the installed formwork system and the inside of the side stone to form a continuous settlement allowance slot; S4: Preparation of improved rammed earth: Prepare the improved soil according to the predetermined volume ratio, control the moisture content, and prepare the bamboo mesh. In the mixing yard, use a forklift to dry mix according to the volume ratio, mix evenly, then wet mix by adding water to the optimal moisture content, and pre-bundle the bamboo into mesh; S5: Layered ramming and arch forming: Fill the improved rammed earth into the formwork in layers, compact each layer to the predetermined compaction degree, and place the bamboo mesh between the layers. After ramming to the design vault, reserve a settlement allowance and maintain it. Fill the improved soil into the formwork manually, use an electric impact tamper to compact, lay a layer of bamboo mesh after every two layers to enhance the tensile properties of the rammed earth body, and repeat the process until the design vault elevation is reached. Finally, slightly shave the top to form a reserved settlement space, cover it with wet burlap, and regularly water it to maintain the stability of the rammed earth strength; S6: Demoulding and water flushing: After the curing period, remove the formwork system, and use a high-pressure water gun to flush the inner wall, removing loose mud and forming a smooth and natural inner wall surface. After the curing period, first loosen and remove all adjustable steel hoops. Since the bamboo sheets are elastic and coated with a release agent, the entire bamboo sheet grid can be easily pulled out of the arch cavity. Then, use a high-pressure cleaning machine equipped with a fan-shaped nozzle to flush the inner wall of the arch cavity from top to bottom. The water flow will wash away the loose and weakly adhered soil and particles on the surface, revealing a compact, smooth, and naturally textured rammed earth surface. The resulting mud and water are collected through the pre-buried underground drainage at the bottom of the foundation trench and are discharged into a sedimentation tank. The clarified water can be recycled for curing or flushing, achieving green construction; S7: Backfilling and landscape modification: Fill the gap between the rammed earth arch back and the rock with grouting, and perform surface landscape modification. Use a small hopper to carefully fill the gap between the rammed earth arch back and the rock with small pieces of gravel, lightly vibrate and compact, and then use cement slurry for pressure grouting to fill the gaps between the gravel, forming a concrete backing that enhances the overall integrity and load-bearing capacity of the arch. Finally, select small stones with similar color and texture to the side arch stones, and use cement mortar to embed and paste them on the construction joints and surface, hiding the artificial traces.

[0007] Further preferably: In step S1, the bottom width B of the foundation trench is (D+0.6) m, where D is the design span; the thickness of the gravel cushion layer is 80-100 mm.

[0008] Further preferably: In step S2, the thickness of the stone is not less than 200 mm; the reserved depth of the rough surface is 30-50 mm; the shear-resistant nails are Φ8 mm stainless steel nails with an exposed length of 150 mm and a spacing of 400 mm in a quincunx arrangement.

[0009] Further preferably: In step S3, the bamboo grid is made of Φ20 mm bamboo pieces with a longitudinal and horizontal spacing of 150 mm; the adjustable steel hoops are made of 50 mm x 5 mm flat steel, with a radius adjustment through bolts, and an installation spacing of 800 mm; the settlement allowance groove is formed by inserting a 10 mm thick foam strip.

[0010] Further preferably: In step S3, the surface of the bamboo grid is pre-coated with a release agent.

[0011] Further preferably: In step S4, the volume ratio of the improved rammed earth is: 45%-55% clay, 25%-35% sand, 15%-20% stone chips, 3%-5% quicklime, and 2%-3% cement; the water content is controlled within ±2% of the optimal water content; the bamboo mesh is made of Φ6 mm bamboo, with a lap length of not less than 200 mm.

[0012] Further preferably, in step S5, the thickness of each layer of the layered ramming is 130-150 mm, the electric impact rammer is used for ramming 6-8 times, and the compaction degree is not less than 90%-95%; and the reserved settlement allowance of the top is 30 mm.

[0013] Further preferably, in step S6, the adjustable steel hoop is removed first, and then the bamboo sheet grid is pulled out when the formwork is removed; the flushing water pressure is 0.3 MPa, and the flushing water is discharged to the sedimentation tank through the buried gutter of the base groove for recycling.

[0014] Further preferably, in step S7, the void backfill material is graded gravel and grouting; and the surface hides the construction joints by embedding small stones of the same color and restores the natural stone texture.

[0015] Further preferably, the settlement allowance groove is injected with compressible polyurethane foam in the later period.

[0016] The embodiment of the present application has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions. 1. The present application uses the combination structure of curb and rammed earth, and the core bearing part uses the improved rammed earth which can be obtained locally, thereby reducing the amount of stone.

[0017] 2. Since the unit weight of the rammed earth is much lower than that of the stone, the combined arch of the rammed earth and the curb has a light self-weight, the requirement for the arch foot thrust and the foundation bearing capacity is reduced, and it can well adapt to soft soil, uneven foundation and other poor geological areas, thereby expanding the application range, and forming a high-efficiency composite structure through the built-in bamboo mesh and the pre-buried shear-resistant nails at the arch foot, so that the bearing capacity is greatly improved compared with the pure rammed earth arch structure, and the safety reserve is higher.

[0029] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for supporting the formwork of a rammed stone arch, comprising the following steps: S1: Cave Entrance Positioning and Foundation Trench Excavation: Based on the design layout, excavate the cave foundation trench, compact the base, and lay a crushed stone cushion layer. Using a total station, accurately lay out the center stake and axis of the cave entrance according to the overall plan of the artificial hill. After mechanical excavation to the design elevation, manually trim the slopes and bottom of the foundation trench. The base is compacted to 93% compaction using a plate tamper (ring cutter method). Subsequently, a 100mm thick, well-graded crushed stone cushion layer with a particle size of 5-20mm is laid and flattened with a plate tamper to provide uniform support for the arch foot. S2: Side Arch Rockery Construction: Thick stone slabs are dry-laid to the designed arch elevation, with a rough surface reserved on the inside. Shear nails are embedded at the arch foot. Flat, high-strength yellow stones with a thickness of 200mm are selected and dry-laid in staggered layers to ensure structural stability. After reaching the designed arch elevation, the inside of the stone is roughened with a pointed hammer to form a uniform rough surface with a depth of about 30mm. Then, Φ8mm 304 stainless steel shear nails are embedded in the gaps between the stones at the arch foot, with 150mm exposed. They are arranged in a staggered pattern with a spacing of 400mm to effectively anchor them into the subsequent rammed earth to resist shear force. S3: Installation of the deformable integrated formwork system: Install the inner formwork composed of bamboo sheet grating and outer PVC soft membrane, and fix and support it by adjustable steel hoops. Reserve a settlement allowance groove between the formwork and the side keystone. Split the matured bamboo into bamboo sheets with a diameter of 20 mm, and use them as the main keel in the longitudinal direction and the secondary keel in the transverse direction. The longitudinal and transverse directions intersect at an interval of 150 mm. Use No. 12 galvanized iron wire to bind them into a firm semicircular arched framework. Wrap the framework with a 2 mm thick transparent PVC soft membrane, and seal the joints with waterproof tape to prevent mortar leakage. The soft membrane serves as both the forming surface for rammed earth and the surface for easy demolding due to its smoothness. Bend 50 mm x 5 mm flat steel into a semicircle, drill holes at both ends, and attach M16 bolts to make adjustable radius steel hoops. A total of three hoops are provided to tighten the bamboo sheet grating and ensure that it does not deform under lateral pressure. Insert 10 mm thick closed-cell foam plastic strips between the outside of the installed formwork system and the inside of the side stone to form a continuous settlement allowance groove. S4: Preparation of improved rammed earth: Prepare the improved earth according to the predetermined volume ratio, control the water content, and prepare the bamboo mesh. In the mixing yard, use a forklift to dry mix the materials according to the volume ratio (50% clay, 30% medium sand, 15% stone chips, 3% quicklime, and 2% P.O42.5 cement). After mixing evenly, wet mix by sprinkling water to the optimal water content (about 12% ± 2%). Meanwhile, pre-bundle Φ6 mm bamboo into a mesh with a size of 150 mm x 150 mm, with a lap length of ≥200 mm. S5: Layered ramming and arch formation: Fill the improved rammed earth into the formwork in layers, compact each layer to the predetermined degree of compaction, and place the bamboo mesh between the layers. After ramming to the designed arch crown, reserve a settlement allowance and maintain it. Fill the improved earth into the formwork manually, strictly control the virtual thickness of each layer to be 150 mm, and use a 1.5 kW electric impact rammer to compact it. The rammer hits 6 times at each point, and the travel speed is uniform to ensure that the degree of compaction is ≥90%. After ramming two layers (about 300 mm thick), lay a layer of bamboo mesh to enhance the tensile properties of the rammed earth body. Repeat the process until the rammed earth reaches the designed arch crown elevation. Finally, slightly shave the top by 30 mm to form a reserved settlement space, cover it with wet burlap, and regularly water it for 7 days to allow the strength of the rammed earth to increase steadily. S6: Demoulding and water flushing: After the curing period, remove the formwork system, and use a high-pressure water gun to flush the inner wall, removing loose mud and forming a smooth and natural inner wall surface. After the curing period, first loosen and remove all adjustable steel hoops. Since the bamboo sheets are elastic and coated with a release agent, they can be easily pulled out of the arch cavity. Then, use a high-pressure cleaning machine (pressure adjusted to 0.3 MPa) with a fan-shaped nozzle to flush the inner wall of the arch cavity from top to bottom. The water flow will flush away the loose and weakly adhered soil and particles on the surface, revealing a compact, smooth, and naturally textured rammed earth surface. The resulting mud and water are collected through the pre-buried underground drainage at the bottom of the foundation trench and discharged into a sedimentation tank. The clarified water can be recycled for curing or flushing, achieving green construction; S7: Backfilling and landscape modification: Backfill and grouting the gap between the rammed earth arch back and the rock, and perform surface landscape modification. Use a small hopper to carefully fill 5-10 mm graded gravel into the gap between the rammed earth arch back and the rock, lightly vibrate and compact, and then use cement slurry for pressure grouting to fill the gravel gaps completely, forming a concrete backing that enhances the overall integrity and load-bearing capacity of the arch. Finally, select small stones with similar color and texture to the side arch stones, and use cement mortar to embed and paste them on the construction joints and surface, hiding the artificial traces.

[0038] By using the above-mentioned rammed stone side arch hole arch springing formwork method, not only the efficient and stable construction of the hole arch is realized, but also the landscape effect and environmental protection are taken into account. Each embodiment is optimized for different working conditions and requirements, such as adjusting the material ratio, strengthening the structural stability, optimizing the construction process, etc., which effectively improves the strength and durability of the overall structure. At the same time, this method makes full use of renewable resources such as bamboo sheet grid and PVC soft membrane, which not only reduces the construction cost, but also realizes green construction. In addition, through fine construction control and post-maintenance, the smoothness and naturalness of the hole arch after forming are ensured, and the expected landscape effect is achieved.

[0039] The present application uses a combination of side stones and rammed earth, and the core load-bearing part uses locally available improved rammed earth, reducing the amount of stone material. Compared with the all-stone arch, the amount of stone material is reduced by more than 35%, the material cost is significantly reduced, combined with the reduced transportation cost and the reusable formwork system, the overall project cost is reduced by about 25%, which has good economic efficiency and market promotion value.

[0040] Because the rammed earth has a much lower bulk density than stone, the combined arch of rammed earth and side stone has a lower self-weight, reducing the requirements for arch foot thrust and foundation bearing capacity, and can well adapt to soft soil, uneven foundation and other poor geological areas, expanding the application range. Through the embedded bamboo mesh and the pre-buried shear-resistant nails at the arch foot, a high-efficiency composite structure is formed, and the bearing capacity is greatly improved compared with the pure rammed earth arch structure, with higher safety reserve.

[0041] The present application adopts a deformable and reusable formwork system (bamboo sheet grid + PVC soft membrane + adjustable steel hoop), which has the advantages of light weight, easy processing and simple installation and disassembly, solves the problem of formwork on irregular stone surfaces, and compared with traditional wood formwork or steel formwork, the construction efficiency is improved by 30%, further reducing the cost of measure items. The main materials are natural or renewable materials, and the construction process is low in energy consumption and low in pollution.

[0042] The invention adopts the water flushing mud process to flush away the surface floating slurry, the exposed rammed earth inner wall retains the rustic beauty of the rammed earth, and is integrated with the external artificial rock, the water stability and freeze-thaw resistance of the modified rammed earth body are good, the mass loss is less than 3% after 50 freeze-thaw cycles, which is better than traditional raw soil buildings, meets the durability requirement of long-term use in outdoor environment, and guarantees the persistence of landscape effect.

[0043] The process of layered ramming, strictly controlling the compaction degree and water content ensures the uniformity and density of the rammed earth body, the graded gravel is used for backfilling of the arch back, the effective transmission of load is guaranteed, and finally the formed structure has good quality reliability and overall stability.
