[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering technology, and more specifically, to a structure and construction method for treating tunnel defects using a combination of tree root piles and reinforced concrete slabs. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of transportation infrastructure, tunnels, as crucial transportation facilities, are receiving increasing attention for their safety and stability. However, due to various factors such as geological conditions, construction quality, and operation and maintenance, tunnels often develop various defects during use. Especially with accumulated operating time and increased traffic volume, tunnels exhibit defects such as road surface cracks, misalignments, and uplifts in multiple sections. The main cause of soft soil formation at the tunnel floor is water. Blockage of the central drainage ditch and transverse drainage pipes, coupled with the softening of the argillaceous rock foundation after prolonged water immersion, not only affects the normal use of the tunnel but also poses a serious threat to its stability and safety.

[0003] In summary, for the treatment of soft soil defects at the tunnel bottom, it is very important to find a tree root pile-reinforced concrete slab combined structure and its construction method that is fast, simple to operate, and has high reliability in construction quality.

[0047] The tunnel bottom pile group uses φ250~φ300mm tree root piles 1, with a pile length of 4.5m~6m. There are 3 tree root piles 1 at each end, and the construction angles are 40°~50°, 20°~25° and 0° with the vertical line from the outside to the inside. The middle 4 piles are spaced 160cm~180cm laterally and constructed vertically downwards. The tree root piles are spaced 120cm~130cm longitudinally. A cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 is set on the top of the pile group. Tree root piles 1 are set on the side wall to strengthen the connection between the pile group panel and the arch foot of the lining 8 and improve the foundation anchoring capacity. The cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 is connected to the foundation of the lining 8 by inserting rebar into the bottom of the newly built cable trench 7, which improves the overall stress performance of the tunnel lining and the road surface structure. The improved overall stress performance allows for half-width construction and simultaneous construction of multiple work faces. The tree root piles 1 penetrate the invert arch 2 and a new central drainage ditch 3 is built in the tunnel. The bent main reinforcement 12 and cross reinforcement are firmly tied to the upper and lower layers of reinforcement of the cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4.

[0048] The root pile reinforcement cage 15 is uniformly processed in the factory, and its top and bottom are provided with annular grooved steel plates 10; the annular grooved steel plates 10 are provided with grooves 11, the main reinforcement 13 is placed in the grooves 11 and welded and fixed to the annular grooved steel plates 10. After the main reinforcement 13 is fixed, the hoop reinforcement 14 is welded to the main reinforcement 13, wherein the top main reinforcement 13 is bent to form a bent-up main reinforcement 12; the distance between the upper edge of the bent-up main reinforcement 12 and the lower edge of the top annular grooved steel plate 10 is D, for example, 100mm;

[0049] The top-pressure sleeve 16 consists of a circular steel plate 17, an inner nesting cylinder 18, ear plates 19, a steel wire rope 20, and a reserved hole 21. The inner nesting cylinder 18 is welded to the lower part of the circular steel plate 17, and the inner nesting cylinder 18 is provided with a reserved hole 21, wherein the distance between the upper edge of the reserved hole 21 and the lower edge of the circular steel plate 17 is D. Two ear plates 19 are welded to the upper part of the circular steel plate 17, and the steel wire rope is fixed through the reserved hole of the ear plate 19. The top-pressure sleeve 16 is inserted into the annular grooved steel plate 10 at the top of the tree root pile reinforcement cage 15, and the reserved hole 21 is located in the inner nesting cylinder 18 of the top-pressure sleeve 16. Positioning pins are used to fix the top pressure sleeve 16 and the root pile reinforcement cage 15 into a whole; the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is quickly installed using an excavator through the top pressure sleeve 16, wherein a hook is welded at the position of the excavator bucket, and the root pile reinforcement cage 15 can be lifted and lowered through the steel wire rope 20 on the top pressure sleeve 16. After the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is placed into the pile hole, the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is pressed in by the excavator bucket on the top pressure sleeve 16. The settling pressure acting on the top pressure sleeve 16 can ensure that the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is evenly stressed and prevented from being damaged.

[0050] The mobile steel track support 22 is made of steel profiles and includes supports 23, slide rails 26, and steel plates 35. The slide rails 26 have steel plates 35 on their inner sides, allowing workers to walk on them. The mobile pouring platform 24 consists of a diversion hopper storage tank 25, pulleys 27, reinforcing supports 28, switches 29, flexible conduits 30, brake rods 31, connecting channels 32, guardrails 33, and a mobile pouring support 34. The mobile pouring support 34 is made of steel profiles and has three diversion hopper storage tanks 25 spaced apart and welded together, secured secondary by reinforcing supports 28. Brake rods 31 are installed on the mobile pouring support 34 and fixed to the mobile steel track support 22. The diversion hopper storage tanks 25... Switch 29 is set up, and a flexible guide tube 30 is fixed at the bottom. The flexible guide tube 30 is inserted into the root pile reinforcement cage 15 to pour concrete. A connecting groove 32 is set between the diversion hopper storage tanks 25. Concrete is replenished on one side to ensure the concrete supply of the three diversion hopper storage tanks 25. After the concrete is poured into the root pile reinforcement cage 15, switch 29 is turned off, the brake lever 31 is loosened, and the mobile pouring platform 24 is moved to the next root pile reinforcement cage 15 pouring position. The brake lever 31 is then fixed. After the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is poured in the mobile steel track support 22, the whole structure is moved to the next construction section. The tunnel centerline 9 is used as the dividing line, and half-width construction is adopted. After one side is completed, the other side is constructed.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] The present invention also provides a construction method for the root pile-reinforced concrete slab combination treatment structure for tunnel defects according to Embodiment 1, the main construction steps of which are as follows:

[0053] Step 1: Demolish the original pavement: Before demolishing the concrete panel, carefully measure the longitudinal slope, transverse slope, and elevation of the existing pavement. Excavation can only begin after the elevation of the top surface of the new concrete panel has been determined.

[0054] For example, a total station is used to measure the longitudinal slope, transverse slope, and elevation of the existing road surface. A cross-section is measured every 5m to determine the top elevation of the newly constructed cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 (2cm higher than the original road surface elevation, leaving room for the construction thickness of the road surface layer 6). The demolition boundary line is marked on the tunnel sidewall (5.5m wide on the left half, including one lane + 0.5m operating space). Then, an excavator equipped with a hydraulic breaker is used to demolish the original road surface concrete (the original road surface is 26cm thick C35 cement concrete). During demolition, the force of the breaker is controlled to avoid damaging the non-construction areas of the lining 8 and the invert arch 2. The demolished concrete blocks are manually cleaned to one side of the road surface to avoid clogging the drainage system.

[0055] Step 2: Removal of waste

[0056] Dump trucks were used to transport the concrete waste generated from the demolition to a designated waste disposal site. A truck washing platform was set up at the tunnel entrance during the transportation to prevent the waste from polluting the road. After the waste was transported, a small road roller was used to compact the base course (graded crushed stone layer) at the bottom of the tunnel (e.g., compaction degree ≥96%), and a level was used to check the elevation of the base course to ensure that the base course was flat and to create conditions for subsequent drilling construction.

[0057] Step 3: Drilling holes for tree root piles:

[0058] After the waste material is transported away, drilling is carried out using a root pile drilling rig. The tunnel bottom pile group uses φ250~φ300mm root piles, 4.5m~6m in length, with 3 root piles at each end. The drilling angles from the outside to the inside are 40°~50°, 20°~25°, and 0° to the vertical line, respectively. The middle 4 piles are spaced 160cm~180cm laterally and drilled vertically downwards, with a longitudinal spacing of 120cm~130cm. After drilling, reverse circulation mud is used to clean the hole until the sediment thickness at the bottom is ≤5cm. After cleaning, the hole depth, diameter, and verticality are inspected. Only after passing inspection can the next process begin.

[0059] Step 4: Processing the reinforcement cage for the tree root piles:

[0060] The root pile reinforcement cage 15 is uniformly processed in the factory, with annular grooved steel plates 10 at the top and bottom. The annular grooved steel plates 10 have grooves 11, and the main reinforcement bars 13 are placed in the grooves 11 and welded to the annular grooved steel plates 10 for fixation. After the main reinforcement bars 13 are fixed, the hoop reinforcement bars 14 are welded to the main reinforcement bars 13. The top main reinforcement bars 13 are bent to form bent-up main reinforcement bars 12. The distance between the upper edge of the bent-up main reinforcement bars 12 and the lower edge of the top annular grooved steel plate 10 is D. After the reinforcement cage is processed, the spacing of the main reinforcement bars (deviation ≤ ±5mm), the welding quality (full weld, no slag inclusions or porosity), and the length of the reinforcement cage (deviation ≤ ±10mm) are checked. After passing the inspection, the cage is numbered and marked, and transported to the construction site by flatbed truck (the cage is fixed with steel brackets during transportation to prevent deformation).

[0061] Step 5: Construction of the reinforcement cage for the tree root piles:

[0062] The top-pressure sleeve 16 consists of a circular steel plate 17, an inner nesting cylinder 18, ear plates 19, a steel wire rope 20, and a reserved hole 21. The inner nesting cylinder 18 is welded to the lower part of the circular steel plate 17, and the inner nesting cylinder 18 is provided with a reserved hole 21, wherein the distance between the upper edge of the reserved hole 21 and the lower edge of the circular steel plate 17 is D. Two ear plates 19 are welded to the upper part of the circular steel plate 17, and the steel wire rope is fixed through the reserved hole of the ear plate 19. The top-pressure sleeve 16 is inserted into the annular grooved steel plate 10 at the top of the tree root pile reinforcement cage 15, and the reserved hole 21 is located in the inner nesting cylinder 18 of the top-pressure sleeve 16. Positioning pins are used to fix the top pressure sleeve 16 and the root pile reinforcement cage 15 into a whole; the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is quickly installed using an excavator through the top pressure sleeve 16, wherein a hook is welded at the position of the excavator bucket, and the root pile reinforcement cage 15 can be lifted and lowered through the steel wire rope 20 on the top pressure sleeve 16. After the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is placed into the pile hole, the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is pressed in by the excavator bucket on the top pressure sleeve 16. The settling pressure acting on the top pressure sleeve 16 can ensure that the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is evenly stressed and prevented from being damaged.

[0063] Step Six: Concrete Pouring for Tree Root Piles

[0064] The mobile steel track support 22 is made of steel profiles and includes supports 23, slide rails 26, and steel plates 35. The slide rails 26 have steel plates 35 on their inner sides, allowing workers to walk on them. The mobile pouring platform 24 consists of a diversion hopper storage tank 25, pulleys 27, reinforcing supports 28, switches 29, flexible conduits 30, brake rods 31, connecting channels 32, guardrails 33, and a mobile pouring support 34. The mobile pouring support 34 is made of steel profiles and has three diversion hopper storage tanks 25 spaced apart and welded together, secured secondary by reinforcing supports 28. Brake rods 31 are installed on the mobile pouring support 34 and fixed to the mobile steel track support 22. The diversion hopper storage tanks 25... Switch 29 is set up, and a flexible guide tube 30 is fixed at the bottom. The flexible guide tube 30 is inserted into the root pile reinforcement cage 15 to pour concrete. A connecting groove 32 is set between the diversion hopper storage tanks 25. Concrete is replenished on one side to ensure the concrete supply of the three diversion hopper storage tanks 25. After the concrete is poured into the root pile reinforcement cage 15, switch 29 is turned off, the brake lever 31 is loosened, and the mobile pouring platform 24 is moved to the next root pile reinforcement cage 15 pouring position. The brake lever 31 is then fixed. After the root pile reinforcement cage 15 is poured in the mobile steel track support 22, the whole structure is moved to the next construction section. The tunnel centerline 9 is used as the dividing line, and half-width construction is adopted. After one side is completed, the other side is constructed.

[0065] Step 7: Construction of cast-in-place reinforced concrete panels, etc.

[0066] A cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 is installed on top of the pile group; tree root piles 1 are installed on the side wall to strengthen the connection between the pile group panel and the arch foot of the lining 8; the cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 is connected to the foundation of the newly built cable trench 7 by rebar installation; the tree root piles 1 penetrate the invert arch 2 and a new central drainage ditch 3 is built in the tunnel; the bent main reinforcement 12 and the cross reinforcement are firmly tied to the upper and lower layers of reinforcement of the cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 respectively.

[0067] Step 8: Road Surface Layer Construction:

[0068] After the cast-in-place reinforced concrete panel 4 is completed, the tunnel waterproof bonding layer 5 and the pavement layer 6 are constructed on top of it in sequence.
