In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, “third” and the like are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] As Figs. 1 to 4As shown, the present application is a large-span tank chamber construction method, which adopts the mode of first constructing the dome 6 on the ground and then excavating downward and constructing the tank wall 13, thereby reducing the difficulty of dome 6 construction and effectively ensuring the safety and construction quality of dome 6 construction.

[0034] The method specifically comprises the following steps.

[0035] a. First, the oil tank concrete tank chamber is positioned and laid out, and the tank wall 13 position and size are determined.

[0036] b. According to the elevation of the tank wall 13 top ring beam 2, a foundation pit 1 is excavated, a relatively shallow foundation pit 1 is excavated at the ground layout position, the bottom surface height of the foundation pit 1 is consistent with the elevation of the bottom surface of the ring beam 2, formwork is erected at the edge of the foundation pit 1, and concrete ring beam 2 and corbel pouring construction are carried out, thereby obtaining a ring beam 2 with an inner side with corbel, the corbel is located at the bottom of the ring beam 2 and is uniformly distributed around the center of the ring beam 2, the corbel is used for installing a steel truss platform formwork 4, and the number and position of the corbel are determined according to the steel truss platform formwork 4.

[0037] A hanging beam 3 is arranged at the outer circle of the ring beam 2, the hanging beam 3 is located at the upper part of the ring beam 2, the hanging beam 3 is embedded into the side wall of the foundation pit 1, and the subsequent top structure is prevented from sinking during the reverse construction method construction through the structure of the hanging beam 3.

[0038] c. Steel truss platform formwork 4 assembly construction is carried out in the foundation pit 1.

[0039] The steel truss platform formwork 4 specifically comprises a central rigid ring, a radial truss, and a ring support. During the assembly construction of the steel truss platform formwork 4, first, a scaffold platform is erected in the foundation pit 1, the central rigid ring is installed on the scaffold platform, one end of the radial truss is installed on the corbel at the top of the tank wall 13, the other end is connected to the central rigid ring, the ring support is installed after the connection is completed, and thus the steel truss platform formwork 4 is obtained.

[0040] The entire steel truss platform formwork 4 assembly and installation are carried out on the ground of the shallow foundation pit 1, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of assembly and installation and easily ensure the safety and quality of the construction process. The entire process does not require large hoisting equipment, thereby saving costs.

[0041] The steel truss platform formwork 4 is a spliced structure and is connected by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and subsequent turnover use.

[0042] d. After the steel truss platform formwork 4 construction is completed, the dome 6 formwork 5 is assembled and installed on the steel truss platform formwork 4, and then the dome 6 steel bar binding is carried out on the dome 6 formwork 5.

[0043] e. Perform the concrete pouring and curing construction of the dome 6. The dome 6 concrete adopts early strength concrete, and the 7-day strength of the standard sample can reach 100%, so as to ensure the 4-week turnover of the steel truss platform formwork 4, greatly reduce the formwork measure cost, and be especially suitable for the construction conditions of the oil tank group. The pouring is performed in a spiral ascending method from the lower part to the upper part.

[0044] A construction hole is designed in the center of the dome 6. After the curing is completed, the steel truss platform formwork 4 and the formwork 5 are removed, and the steel truss platform formwork 4 and the formwork 5 are taken out through the construction hole.

[0045] f. After the dome 6 construction is completed and the steel truss platform formwork 4 and the formwork 5 are removed, an operating space with a certain height is formed below the dome 6, and the subsequent earth excavation construction is performed in the space. In order to facilitate the earth excavation and the material transportation, a derrick 7 is arranged in the center of the foundation pit 1, the derrick 7 passes through the construction hole in the center of the dome 6, the upper end of the derrick 7 extends out of the dome 6, a winch 9 is arranged on the ground, a crown block 8 is arranged on the top of the derrick 7, and the steel wire rope of the winch 9 is pulled through the crown block 8 to pull a bucket 12. The derrick 7 is mainly used to bear the gravity of the material when the material is transported on and off the bucket 12, and the construction hole of the dome 6 has a certain limiting effect on the derrick 7, so the stability of the connection between the derrick 7 and the bottom of the foundation pit 1 is low, and only the bottom surface needs to be kept flat and the derrick 7 needs to be stably placed on the bottom surface.

[0046] At the same time, in order to facilitate the transportation of the material between the ground and the construction hole of the dome 6, a transportation platform 10 is also arranged on the ground, the transportation platform 10 is fixed on the ground through a support 11, and the transportation platform 10 extends to the construction hole in the center of the dome 6. The transportation platform 10 is mainly supported by the support 11, which can reduce the stress of the dome 6 in the material transportation process.

[0047] g. The remaining part of the tank wall 13 is divided into several segments according to the top-down method.

[0048] In this embodiment, the remaining part of the tank wall 13 is divided into three segments from top to bottom, and the construction of the tank wall 13 needs to be implemented through three times of pouring.

[0049] h. The earth excavation construction of the first segment of the tank wall 13 corresponding height is performed, the excavated earth is transported to the construction hole of the dome 6 through the winch 9 and the bucket 12, and then transported to the ground through the transportation platform 10.

[0050] During the excavation process, the height of the bottom surface of the foundation pit 1 gradually decreases, and the height of the derrick 7 is adjusted along with the decrease of the height of the bottom surface of the foundation pit 1.

[0051] Firstly, the derrick 7 is composed of a plurality of standard sections, the derrick 7 is a rectangular steel frame structure penetrating from top to bottom, the standard sections are connected to each other through bolts, and the height of the derrick 7 can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the number of standard sections.

[0052] In the process of earth excavation, the earth around the derrick 7 is excavated first, and the earth directly below the derrick 7 is reserved. When the height difference between the ground directly below the derrick 7 and the bottom of the foundation pit 1 is close to a standard section height, the standard section increasing operation is performed. The standard section increasing operation is as follows: first, connect the standard section above the derrick 7 with the construction hole of the dome 6, so that the dome 6 bears the gravity of the derrick 7 itself. At this time, the hopper 12 and the winch 9 are stopped from being used, and the hopper 12 needs to be emptied to reduce the stress on the dome 6. After determining that the derrick 7 is connected with the construction hole of the dome 6, the earth directly below the derrick 7 is excavated, and a standard section is added to the bottom of the derrick 7. The ground below the bottom of the derrick 7 is filled and compacted to ensure that the derrick 7 is in contact with the bottom of the foundation pit 1 and bears the stress.

[0053] A frame rod or the like can be erected above the construction hole of the dome 6 to support the derrick 7. The frame rod can span above the construction hole and support the derrick 7, or the derrick 7 can be connected with the construction hole through a connecting rod or a connecting plate to temporarily fix it.

[0054] i. After the excavation of the earth corresponding to the first section of the tank wall 13 is completed, the earth side wall is trimmed as the outer formwork 5 for pouring the tank wall 13. The inner formwork 5 is erected inside to pour the first section of the tank wall 13. The formwork 5 and the concrete are transported by the winch 9 and the hopper 12.

[0055] j. Repeat steps h and i to complete the construction of the second section of the tank wall 13 and the third section of the tank wall 13.

[0056] k. After the tank wall 13 is partially constructed by the top-down method, the construction of the oil tank foundation and the tank room foundation is performed.

[0057] Most of the tank wall 13 of the present application is constructed after the dome 6 is completed. Due to the existence of the dome 6, the foundation pit 1 forms a relatively closed space, which can maintain a relatively high temperature inside in cold environments or weather, so that the partially poured concrete of the tank wall 13 can be cured at a suitable temperature, which can greatly reduce the curing time and improve the quality of the tank wall 13.

[0058] The present application also includes: after the construction of the oil tank foundation and the tank room foundation is completed, the construction of the internal steel oil tank is performed. The tank body steel plate is transported by the winch 9 and the derrick 7, and the tank body is constructed by the inverted chain inversion method. After the construction of the tank body is completed, the derrick 7 and the winch 9 are removed.

[0059] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
