Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of slope retaining wall design technology, and in particular, to a slope retaining wall design method with buffering and pressure reduction function. Background Technology
[0002] In geotechnical engineering and slope protection, retaining walls, as the core structure for resisting lateral soil pressure and maintaining slope stability, are directly related to the safety and service life of the project. Especially in areas with expansive soil, the significant water absorption and expansion and water loss shrinkage characteristics of expansive soil generate continuous and variable expansion forces, which makes the load borne by the retaining wall far exceed that of ordinary soil environments.
[0003] To address the unique engineering properties of expansive soil, some design schemes attempt to incorporate a buffer layer between the retaining wall and the soil. However, existing buffer layer designs generally lack systematic theoretical support: on the one hand, a quantitative relationship has not been established between the total lateral pressure of the soil, the deformation of the buffer layer, and the actual stress on the retaining wall, resulting in inaccurate control over the pressure reduction effect of the buffer layer and the actual stress on the retaining wall; on the other hand, the determination of the buffer layer's thickness and material parameters (such as stiffness) relies heavily on empirical values, often leading to problems such as insufficient thickness causing pressure reduction failure, excessive thickness resulting in material waste, or excessive material stiffness leading to poor pressure reduction. Furthermore, existing designs lack safety verification for retaining walls after the addition of a buffer layer, failing to dynamically adjust the buffer layer parameters according to the retaining wall's stress state, further reducing the overall reliability of the retaining wall structure.

The toe is the intersection of the side of the retaining wall 100 facing away from the buffer and pressure-reducing layer 200 and the ground 400.
[0044] The preset requirements for the stability parameters are as follows: ; ; The safety threshold for the first stable parameter; The safety threshold for the second stability parameter can be set according to the safety level requirements, such as... Set to 1.3. Set to 1.5.
[0045] A precise formula for the first stability parameter (anti-slip stability coefficient) and the second stability parameter (anti-overturning stability coefficient) enables a quantitative assessment of retaining wall stability. The formula incorporates key parameters such as the retaining wall's self-weight, the vertical and horizontal components of earth pressure, and the stress arm, ensuring that stability calculations comprehensively cover the core stress factors of the retaining wall.

When perpendicular, , Considering the structural characteristics of vertical retaining walls, the calculation of earth pressure components is simplified, redundant calculation steps are reduced, and design efficiency is improved. Furthermore, the most common setting method is to ensure that the retaining wall is perpendicular to the horizontal ground.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the base bearing capacity The preset requirements are:

[0055] The calculation standards and limit requirements are set for the normal stress and horizontal section shear stress of the cross-section of the retaining wall respectively, so as to comprehensively cover the core evaluation dimensions of the cross-sectional strength. The wall bulk density, vertical component of earth pressure, cross-sectional width and other key parameters of the cross-section are taken into account in the formula, so that the strength calculation is more targeted and accurate, and the hidden dangers such as cracking and damage of the retaining wall due to insufficient cross-sectional strength are effectively avoided, and the service life of the structure is prolonged.

[0061] .
[0062] H is the atmospheric influence depth of the expansive soil, the unit is m. h is the atmospheric sharp influence depth of the expansive soil, the unit is m. The horizontal expansion force recommended value, the unit is kPa. The above All use the unit kPa, if you need to change to the unit of KN for calculation, can be multiplied by each formula unit area, such as multiplied by 1m 2 .
[0063] The total lateral pressure of the soil body Is:
[0064] .
[0065] The above formula realizes the accurate calculation of each partial pressure. Through the coupling calculation of multiple parameters, each partial pressure is calculated, and then superposed to obtain the total lateral pressure of the soil body, so as to ensure the integrity and scientificity of the total pressure calculation, and provide accurate load input basis for subsequent buffer pressure relief layer design and retaining wall stress analysis.

The deformation of the buffer pressure relief layer and the swelling deformation of the swelling soil are regarded as elastic deformation, the deformation of the buffer pressure relief layer is compressed deformation under the action force of the swelling soil, after the swelling of the swelling soil, the action force is released to a certain extent, so that the swelling action force is reduced, and the swelling action force reduction is , thereby obtaining a calculation model. The cooperative stress calculation model of the buffer pressure relief layer and the swelling soil is established, the quantitative relationship among the material stiffness of the buffer pressure relief layer, the swelling stiffness of the swelling soil, the deformation D and the total lateral pressure of the soil body is determined, the theoretical support is provided for the accurate calculation of the deformation D and the lateral action force of the retaining wall, the pressure relief effect of the buffer pressure relief layer can be quantified and controlled.

[0074] If yes, the value of the thickness T remains unchanged or the thickness T is increased, usually the thickness of the buffer pressure relief layer has multiple specifications, it is difficult to realize full coverage of all sizes. It is judged whether the thickness T is greater than the first preset threshold value, so that the value of the thickness T is not too low to cause that there is no corresponding specification thickness of the buffer pressure relief layer to be used, usually the first preset threshold value is 30 cm. When the value of the thickness T is between the thicknesses of two specifications, the thickness T can be increased to match the thickness of the buffer pressure relief layer of one specification, which is convenient for the production and selection of the buffer pressure relief layer.
[0075] If not, the value of the thickness T is adjusted to the first preset threshold or greater than the first preset threshold, indicating that the value of the thickness T is smaller, and needs to be adjusted to match the thickness of one of the buffer pressure relief layers, facilitating the production and selection of the buffer layer.

The thickness optimization logic of calculation, judgment, and adjustment is established to ensure that the thickness meets the pressure relief requirements, avoiding both the pressure relief failure caused by insufficient thickness and the material waste caused by excessive thickness, and also ensuring that the thickness can be easily selected for use of the corresponding buffer pressure relief layer, achieving the balance between economy and practicality.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, a drainage mat is attached to the side of the buffer pressure relief layer away from the retaining wall. The influence of the drainage mat on the transmission of force can be ignored, so the influence of the drainage mat can be ignored in the above calculation process. The drainage mat can effectively drain the water in the soil behind the wall, further reducing the stress load of the retaining wall, prolonging the service life of the retaining wall and the buffer pressure relief layer, and improving the long-term stability of the overall structure.
