Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building foundation engineering technology in permafrost regions, specifically relating to a design method for horizontal loop heat pipe foundations suitable for buildings in permafrost regions. Background Technology

[0002] In permafrost regions, building foundations face multiple thermal disturbances during operation, including climate warming, building heat dissipation, and construction disturbances. These disturbances can easily lead to deformations such as thaw settlement of the foundation soil and uneven ground settlement, resulting in engineering defects such as foundation cracking and deformation of the superstructure. Existing engineering protection measures often employ single-type heat pipes, insulation layers, and backfilling to stabilize the active layer and ground temperature field, reduce thaw settlement, and mitigate uneven settlement. In recent years, to effectively control the temperature of the foundation soil below the foundation, the concept of horizontal loop heat pipe building foundations has been proposed in engineering. This involves laying horizontal loop heat pipes below the foundation to suppress thaw settlement and differential deformation. Such devices require no external power and have low energy consumption during operation.

[0003] However, existing engineering practices and design methods mainly rely on empirical parameters and local verification, lacking quantitative indicators such as climate indicators, layered thermal properties, and target isothermal surface coverage to be incorporated into the design process. This makes it difficult to coordinate and optimize horizontal loop heat pipes, and temperature coverage cannot be quantified to the basic control zone. There is a disconnect between two-phase operation stability and cooling capacity, and there is a lack of clear correction paths when manufacturing accessibility and deformation do not meet the standards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a systematic method that can cover parametric design and global verification in the design phase, so as to achieve the minimum configuration of materials and energy consumption, while taking into account the application requirements of engineering safety and low carbon and low energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a design method for horizontal loop heat pipe building foundations in permafrost regions. This method can balance the feasibility of building projects in permafrost regions with structural and foundation safety, effectively suppressing thaw settlement and related uneven settlement risks, ensuring foundation safety, reducing uneven settlement, improving foundation reliability, and extending the service life of buildings.
