Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waterproofing technology for underground engineering, and in particular to a dynamic seepage prevention construction method for the initial support layer of a tunnel-excavated subway station. Background Technology
[0002] Controlling leakage in the initial support layer of underground railway stations using the cut-and-cover method has been a long-standing technical challenge in the industry. In traditional initial support arch construction, gaps often form between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer due to geological disturbance and concrete shrinkage, allowing groundwater to seep in and accumulate, creating hydrostatic pressure.
[0003] Existing seepage prevention technologies have the following drawbacks: Passive Drainage: Water accumulation between the initial support and the waterproofing layer relies solely on natural drainage through blind drains, lacking active pressure relief. Water trapped in gaps cannot be drained promptly, creating continuous hydrostatic pressure and causing the waterproofing layer to bulge and crack. Delayed Grouting: Existing grouting systems mostly provide reactive repair after leakage occurs, lacking real-time seepage monitoring and early warning mechanisms. Grouting timing relies on manual experience, often missing the optimal intervention window. System Fragmentation: Drainage and grouting systems operate independently, leading to a disconnect between drainage and grouting. Repeated remediation increases costs and can easily damage the existing structure.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a collaborative seepage prevention construction method that dynamically monitors drainage volume, isolates areas and blocks, and performs precise grouting as needed, so as to solve the problem of hydrostatic pressure damage from the source. Summary of the Invention
[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a dynamic seepage prevention construction method for the initial support layer of a tunneled subway station.
[0006] A dynamic seepage prevention construction method for the initial support layer of a cut-and-cover subway station includes the following steps: Step S1: After the initial support construction of the station is completed and before the waterproof layer construction, drainage blind pipes are installed along the circumferential and longitudinal directions on the side walls of the station platform level and station hall level. Drainage pipes are pre-embedded in the structural side walls. The drainage pipes penetrate the waterproof layer of the side wall on the water-facing side and are connected to the drainage blind pipe system installed between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer. The back surface of the pre-embedded drainage pipes is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete. After the initial support construction of the station is completed and before the waterproof layer construction, repeatable grouting pipes are installed along the circumferential direction on the side walls of the station platform level and station hall level. Grouting pipes are pre-embedded in the structural side walls. The grouting pipes penetrate the waterproof layer of the side wall on the water-facing side and are connected to the tee of the repeatable grouting pipes at their ends. The back surface of the pre-embedded grouting pipes and the grouting pipes is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete. Step S2: Divide and block the structure and perform isolation grouting. Divide the structure into sections according to the principle of vertical zoning and longitudinal slab division. The bottom slab and side walls of each vertical layer are considered as one section, and several construction sections are considered as one block in the longitudinal direction. Step S3: The leakage water from the initial support layer is discharged to the station wall ditch or drainage ditch through the drainage blind pipe, and then collected in the station end water collection well. The total drainage volume flowing into the station water collection pit is monitored. Based on the monitoring data and the leakage situation on the side wall surface, it is determined whether to use the grouting system to grout to fill the gap between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer to strengthen the waterproofing. Step S4: Grouting. During grouting, monitoring is performed. The grouting sequence is from low to high in the vertical direction, and grouting is performed from one side to the other along the station direction.
[0007] Step S5: Grouting is terminated when thick slurry overflows from the vent hole.
[0008] After the initial support construction of the tunnel station is completed, drainage blind pipes and reusable grouting pipes are buried between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer to serve as channels for subsequent drainage and grouting to stop water. Then, secondary lining construction is carried out. This method is highly operable and enables active control of hydrostatic pressure between the initial support and the waterproof layer. Drainage and grouting simultaneously prevent seepage, avoiding damage to the structure caused by subsequent leakage grouting.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S1, the repeatable grouting pipes are arranged circumferentially between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer, with a circumferential spacing of 7-15m, and have the function of multiple grouting. The pipes are 20-40mm in diameter and made of PVC.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the grouting pipes pre-embedded in the structural side wall are galvanized steel pipes with an inner diameter of not less than 30mm and a wall thickness of not less than 3mm. The water-facing side penetrates the waterproof layer of the side wall, and the end of the galvanized steel pipe is connected to a tee for repeated grouting. The back water surface is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete and has 7-12cm internal threads.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the top of the grouting pipe embedded in the side wall of the concourse level is 80-120mm higher than the structural surface of the middle slab, and the bottom elevation of the grouting pipe embedded in the side wall of the platform level is higher than the track drainage ditch.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, drainage blind pipes are arranged in the circumferential and longitudinal directions between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer, with a circumferential spacing of 7-15m. One pipe is installed in the longitudinal direction on the side walls of the station platform level and the station hall level. The drainage blind pipes are DN30 double-wall corrugated pipes, which are perforated and wrapped with non-woven fabric.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, the circumferential repeatable grouting pipes and the circumferential drainage blind pipes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in step S1, pre-embedded drainage pipes are installed on the side walls of the station concourse and platform levels. The pre-embedded drainage pipes are galvanized steel pipes with an inner diameter of not less than 30mm and a wall thickness of not less than 3mm, with 7-12cm internal threads. The water-facing side penetrates the waterproof layer of the side wall and connects to the drainage blind pipe system installed between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the top of the pre-embedded drainage pipe in the side wall of the station hall is 80-120mm higher than the structural surface of the middle slab, and the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage blind pipe five-way connector; the bottom elevation of the pre-embedded drainage pipe in the side wall of the platform is higher than the track drainage ditch, and the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage blind pipe four-way connector. Furthermore, in step S1, a water-stop flange is installed in the middle of the pre-embedded grouting pipe and drainage pipe. The water-stop flange is made of steel plate with a thickness t≥8mm, coated with anti-rust paint, and the exposed width of the water-stop steel plate is 7-12cm. The pre-embedded grouting pipe and drainage pipe are set at a spacing of 7-15m along the longitudinal direction of the station, and the installation position does not conflict with the construction joint.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, the three construction sections are divided into a single block.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, water-swellable waterstops are used to isolate sections in blocks. They are installed in the circumferential construction joints at the ends of each section. The waterstops are placed between the initial support layer and the waterproof layer. Before installation, the base surface must be flat. During installation, the waterstops must be horizontal and vertical, without any hollow areas. The overlap of the waterstops should be 200-350mm. No isolation measures are set for the longitudinal construction joints.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, after the main structure and auxiliary structures have been completed and reached the design strength, the total drainage volume flowing into the station sump is monitored. If the drainage volume detection value (m³ / m·d) is ≥0.2 for three consecutive days, the pre-embedded grouting system is started regardless of whether there is leakage on the structural surface. If the drainage volume detection value (m³ / m·d) is <0.2, and there is local leakage or wet leakage, grouting is performed in the grouting pipe within ±10m of the leakage point. If there is no leakage and there is no continuous water flow in the pre-embedded grouting pipe, no grouting is performed.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, ordinary cement grout is used for grouting, with a water-cement ratio of (1:1) to (0.5:1), and the grouting pressure is controlled at 0.8-1.2 MPa. The grouting process is monitored. The grouting sequence is from low to high in the vertical direction, and grouting is carried out from one side to the other along the station direction. The pre-embedded grouting pipes are grouted every other one, and the middle hole is used as an air vent. Furthermore, step S6 is included: after grouting is completed, continue to inject an appropriate amount of clean water to keep the grouting pipe unobstructed and reserve conditions for subsequent grouting.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a dynamic seepage prevention construction method for the initial support layer of a mined subway station, comprising the following steps: Step S1: After the initial support construction of the station is completed and before the construction of the waterproof layer 9, repeatable grouting pipes 1 are installed circumferentially on the side walls of the station platform level and station hall level. Step S2: Pre-embed grouting pipe 2 in the structural side wall, penetrate the side wall waterproof layer 9 on the water-facing side, and connect the end to the repeatable grouting pipe 1 tee. The back water surface is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete. Step S3: After the initial support construction of the station is completed and before the waterproof layer 9 is constructed, drainage blind pipes 3 are installed along the circumferential and longitudinal directions on the side walls of the station platform level and station hall level. Step S4: A drainage pipe 4 is pre-embedded in the structural side wall. The water-facing side penetrates the side wall waterproof layer 9 and is connected to the drainage blind pipe 3 system set between the initial support and the waterproof layer 9. The back water surface is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete. Step S5: Divide and block the structure and perform isolation grouting. Divide the structure into sections according to the principle of vertical zoning and longitudinal slab division. The bottom slab and side walls of each vertical structure are considered as one section, and the three longitudinal construction sections are considered as one block.
[0024] In step S6, the leakage water from the initial support is discharged through the drainage blind pipe 3 to the station wall ditch 16 or drainage ditch, and then collected by the wall ditch 16 or drainage ditch to the station end sump. The total drainage volume flowing into the station sump is monitored. Based on the monitoring data and the leakage situation on the side wall surface, it is determined whether to use the grouting system to grout to fill the gap between the initial support and the waterproof layer 9 to strengthen the waterproofing.
[0025] Step S7: Ordinary cement grout is used for grouting, and the grouting process is closely monitored; the grouting sequence is from low to high in the vertical direction, and grouting is carried out from one side to the other along the direction of the station.
[0026] Step S8: Grouting ends when thick grout overflows from the vent hole. After grouting is complete, continue to inject an appropriate amount of clean water to keep the grouting pipe unobstructed, reserving conditions for subsequent grouting.
[0027] In step S1, the repeatable grouting pipe 1 is arranged circumferentially between the primary support and the waterproof layer 9, with a circumferential spacing of 10m. It has the function of multiple grouting, a diameter of about 30mm, and is made of PVC.
[0028] In step S2, the grouting pipe 2 embedded in the side wall is a galvanized steel pipe with an inner diameter of not less than 30 mm and a wall thickness of not less than 3 mm. The water-facing side penetrates the waterproof layer 9 of the side wall, and the end is connected to the tee of the repeatable grouting pipe 1. The back water surface is flush with the inner surface of the side wall concrete and has a 10 cm inner thread.
[0029] In step S2, the top of the grouting pipe 2 embedded in the side wall of the station hall is 100mm higher than the structural surface of the middle slab, and the bottom elevation of the grouting pipe 2 embedded in the side wall of the platform is slightly higher than the track drainage ditch.
[0030] In step S3, the drainage blind pipes 3 are arranged in the circumferential and longitudinal directions between the initial support and the waterproof layer 9, with a circumferential spacing of 10m. One is set in the longitudinal direction on the side wall of the station platform level and the station hall level. All drainage blind pipes 3 are DN30 double-wall corrugated pipes, which are wrapped with non-woven fabric after being perforated.
[0031] In step S3, the circumferential repeatable grouting pipe 1 and the circumferential drainage blind pipe 3 are evenly arranged at longitudinal intervals. In step S4, a pre-embedded drainage pipe 4 is installed on the side wall of the station concourse level and platform level. The drainage pipe is a galvanized steel pipe with an inner diameter of not less than 30mm and a wall thickness of not less than 3mm, with a 10cm internal thread. The water-facing side penetrates the waterproof layer 9 of the side wall and is connected to the drainage blind pipe 3 system installed between the initial support and the waterproof layer 9.
[0032] In step S4, the top of the pre-embedded drainage pipe 4 in the side wall of the station hall is 100mm higher than the structural surface of the middle plate, and the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage blind pipe 3 five-way connector; the bottom elevation of the pre-embedded drainage pipe 4 in the side wall of the platform is slightly higher than the track drainage ditch, and the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage blind pipe 3 four-way connector. In steps S2 and S4, a water-stop flange 14 is installed in the middle of the pre-embedded grouting pipe 2 and drainage pipe. The water-stop flange 14 is made of steel plate with a thickness t≥8mm, coated with anti-rust paint, and the exposed width of the water-stop steel plate is 10cm. The pre-embedded grouting pipe 2 and drainage pipe are set at a spacing of 10m along the longitudinal direction of the station, and the installation position does not conflict with the construction joint.
[0033] In step S5, water-swellable waterstops are used for zoned isolation, installed at the end of each section within the circumferential construction joint. The waterstops are positioned between the initial support surface and the waterproof layer 9. Before installation, ensure the base surface is flat. During installation, ensure horizontal and vertical alignment, no hollow areas, and a 300mm overlap at the joints. No isolation measures are provided for the longitudinal construction joint 8.
[0034] In step S6, after the main structure and auxiliary structures are completed and reach the design strength, monitor the total drainage volume flowing into the station sump. If necessary, use the grouting system to grout to fill the gap between the initial support and the waterproof layer 9 to reinforce the waterproofing. Table 1. Grouting Start Timing and Conditions for Pre-embedded Grouting Systems Discharge monitoring value (m³ / m·d) Structural Surface Condition Grouting area ≥0.2 for 3 consecutive days Whether or not there is leakage Full system startup <0.2 Localized leakage / wet stains Grouting pipe within ±10m of the leakage point <0.2 No leakage + no continuous water flow from the pre-buried pipe No grouting In step S7, ordinary cement grout is used for grouting, with a water-cement ratio of 1:1-0.5:1. The grouting pressure is controlled at 0.8-1.2MPa, and the grouting process is closely monitored. The grouting sequence is from low to high in the vertical direction, and grouting is carried out from one side to the other along the station direction.
