[0017] Specifically, before the bridge pile foundation is constructed in the construction area, geological exploration work should be done first, and the number of karst caves / number of layers, the height of the karst cave, the rock saturated compressive strength and other data of the construction area should be mastered in detail to form a matching construction scheme or method.

[0018] The design depth of the pile hole of the construction area of the present application is taken as an example to reach the position between the 7th and 8th karst caves, and the distance between the 7th and 8th karst caves is greater than 5m, and the rock saturated compressive strength R c is greater than 14Mpa.

[0019] A multi-bead karst cave bridge pile foundation construction method in a karst landform karst development area, comprising the following steps: S1: setting a buried hole to bury a fixed steel casing; S2: using a first diameter drill bit to drill down in the buried hole and drill through the nth cave; S3: replacing the second diameter drill bit to continue drilling down and drilling through the n2th cave; S4: replacing the third diameter drill bit to continue drilling down and drilling through the n3th cave; S5: replacing the fourth diameter drill bit to continue drilling down and drilling through the n4th cave, and repeatedly hammering until the design elevation; S6: wrapping the prepared steel reinforcement cage with geotextile and hoisting it into the pile hole; S7: uniformly pouring concrete into the pile hole to complete the bridge pile foundation construction.

[0020] In the construction scheme, when the pile hole operation is performed, a mixture of clay, stone blocks and cement is poured into the pile hole in proportion, and the mixture is extruded by a drill bit to the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole to form a stable inner wall.

[0021] The mass ratio of the clay, stone blocks and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:0.5-1.5:0.5, which depends on the rock saturated compressive strength of the karst cave. In the area with lower strength, the proportion of stone blocks is preferably increased.

[0022] Preferably, the rock saturated compressive strength R of the karst cave is not higher than 14 MPa. c When the rock saturated compressive strength R of the karst cave is not higher than 14 MPa, the mass ratio of the clay, stone blocks and cement is 1:1.5:0.5. c When the rock saturated compressive strength R of the karst cave is higher than 14 MPa, the mass ratio of the clay, stone blocks and cement is 1:0.5:0.5.

[0023] The specific construction scheme is as follows: Before the S1 step, the stratum of the pile hole site and the impact drill equipment needs to be compacted or replaced to ensure the stability of the stratum of the pile hole site and the equipment. The pile hole coordinates are measured and laid out to ensure the accuracy of the pile hole site.

[0024] In the S1 step, a buried hole is formed in the shallow overburden layer, the opening diameter of the buried hole is 1.45 times the design pile diameter, and a steel casing is fixed in the buried hole to support the hole wall of the buried hole to prevent collapse during subsequent drilling operations.

[0025] In the S2 step, the first diameter of the drill bit is 1.38 times the design pile diameter, and the drill bit with the first diameter is used to form a hole to pass through the first and second karst caves under the shallow overburden layer. While drilling, a mixture of clay, stone blocks and cement is poured into the pile hole.

[0026] According to the geological exploration, the rock saturated compressive strength of the first and second karst caves is less than 14 MPa, and the mass ratio of the clay, stone blocks and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:1.5:0.5. After pouring the mixture, the pile hole is repeatedly punched to extrude the mixture to the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole. The mixture is stirred with the inner wall of the karst cave to form a stable state and reach a certain strength, thereby ensuring that the pile hole will not collapse.

[0027] In the S3 step, the second diameter of the replaced drill bit is 1.22 times the design pile diameter, and the drill bit with the second diameter is used to form a hole to continue to pass through the third and fourth karst caves. While drilling, a mixture of clay, stone blocks and cement is poured into the pile hole.

[0028] According to the geological exploration, the rock saturated compressive strength of the 3rd and 4th karst caves is not higher than 14Mpa, the mass ratio of clay, stone and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:1.5:0.5; after pouring the mixture, the pile hole is repeatedly punched, so that the mixture is extruded to the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole, the mixture is stirred with the inner wall of the karst cave to form a stable state and reach a certain strength, so as to ensure that the pile hole will not appear the phenomenon of hole collapse and the like.

[0029] In the S4 step, the third diameter of the replaced drill bit is 1.11 times the designed pile diameter, the hole forming operation is carried out with the drill bit of the diameter, and the downward passing through the 5th and 6th karst caves is continued; at the same time of the drilling operation, the mixture of clay, stone and cement is poured into the pile hole.

[0030] According to the geological exploration, the rock saturated compressive strength of the 5th and 6th karst caves is higher than 14Mpa, the mass ratio of clay, stone and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:0.5:0.5; after pouring the mixture, the pile hole is repeatedly punched, so that the mixture is extruded to the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole, the mixture is stirred with the inner wall of the karst cave to form a stable state and reach a certain strength, so as to ensure that the pile hole will not appear the phenomenon of hole collapse and the like.

[0031] In the S5 step, the fourth diameter of the replaced drill bit is 2cm larger than the designed pile diameter, the hole forming operation is carried out with the drill bit of the diameter, and the downward passing through the 7th karst cave is continued; at the same time of the drilling operation, the mixture of clay, stone and cement is poured into the pile hole.

[0032] According to the geological exploration, the rock saturated compressive strength of the 7th karst cave is higher than 14Mpa, the mass ratio of clay, stone and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:0.5:0.5; after pouring the mixture, the pile hole is repeatedly punched, so that the mixture is extruded to the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole, the mixture is stirred with the inner wall of the karst cave to form a stable state and reach a certain strength, so as to ensure that the pile hole will not appear the phenomenon of hole collapse and the like.

[0033] According to the pile hole design depth, the pile hole depth is located between the 7th and 8th karst caves, and the geological radar is used to detect that there is no karst cave in the range of 5m below the bottom (design elevation) of the pile hole.

[0034] In the S6 step, the outer diameter of the geotextile wound is 10-15cm larger than the outer diameter of the steel reinforcement cage, the geotextile is tightly wrapped on the steel reinforcement cage and is fixed with a binding wire.

[0035] In order to prevent the collapse of the pile hole wall, the full-length (the design depth of the pile hole) steel reinforcement cage and the pouring guide pipe are integrally hoisted into the pile hole at one time. It is measured and inspected that the pile hole wall is stable and has no collapse, the underwater concrete pouring operation is carried out at a uniform speed, and the concrete loss phenomenon is monitored at any time.

[0036] It should be noted that when the number of karst caves and the number of layers of the construction area and the height of the karst caves are different, the number of karst caves drilled by the four diameters of drill bits can be appropriately adjusted and distributed; when the rock saturated compressive strength of the adjacent two karst caves is obviously segmented (the upper layer R c ≤14Mpa, and the lower layer R c >14Mpa), different diameter drill holes should be used for hole forming operation in the upper and lower karst caves of the segment; when the upper part of the rock saturated compressive strength of a single karst cave R c ≤14Mpa, and the lower part R c >14Mpa, the mass ratio of clay, sheet stone and cement poured into the pile hole is 1:1:0.5, so that the inner wall of the karst cave in the pile hole can reach a certain strength, and the pile hole will not appear the phenomenon of hole collapse.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
