[0049] The present application provides a pipeline installation structure for high and steep rock slope, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which mainly comprises a load-bearing beam 1 and a pipeline fixing support 2. A plurality of load-bearing beams 1 are anchored in the rock mass slope at a certain interval, and the water conveying pipeline 3 is fixed on the cantilever section of the load-bearing beam exposed to the slope 4 through the fixing support 2. The pipeline 3 is arranged transversely, and the load-bearing beam 1 is arranged vertically.

[0050] The load-bearing beam 1 adopts Q355 material equal limb angle steel, and the specification, model and length including the anchoring section length and the cantilever section length are determined according to the bending resistance, shear resistance and deformation calculation; wherein the anchoring section refers to the part of the load-bearing beam 1 located in the slope, and the cantilever section refers to the part of the load-bearing beam 1 located outside the slope.

The hoop is buckled on the pipe with a gap of 3 mm from the outer edge wall of the pipe, and the lower part is fixed with the load-bearing beam by the nut. The nut is M24, and the inner diameter of the gasket is 26 mm. One set of fixing support includes one hoop, four nuts and four gaskets. Two threaded holes are pre-set on the cantilever section of each load-bearing beam 1 located outside the slope, and the opening of the "U" type hoop faces downward. After the two ends of the "U" type hoop pass through one threaded hole on the cantilever section of the load-bearing beam 1 respectively, the "U" type hoop is fixed with the load-bearing beam 1 by the nut.

The nut and the gasket are sleeved on the vertical part of the "U" type hoop, and the gasket is located between the nut and the load-bearing beam.

[0075] The pipe 3 is supported by the cantilever section of the load-bearing beam 1 located outside the slope, and the pipe 3 passes through each fixing support 2, i.e. the pipe 3 passes through the hoop of each reverse "U" type structure. The pipe 3 is limited on the load-bearing beam 1 by the hoop of the reverse "U" type structure, and the hoop of the reverse "U" type structure is fixed with the load-bearing beam 1 by the nut.
