AI Technical Summary
In existing marine engineering projects, large-diameter concrete pipe piles at sea are prone to cracking and breakage. Traditional reinforcement techniques cannot form an integral load-bearing system and are easily corroded in high salt spray environments. Ordinary concrete has poor fluidity and is difficult to adapt to rapid offshore construction.
Shear studs are welded inside steel pipes with anti-corrosion coatings, combined with ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) grouting. Through the interface strengthening effect of the shear studs, mechanical interlocking and interface bonding are formed. With the help of ring positioning clamps, the steel pipes and the original piles are coaxially positioned. The high fluidity and high impermeability of UHPC are utilized for rapid underwater grouting.
It achieves coordinated stress distribution between the steel pipe and the original pile, enhances bearing capacity and fatigue resistance, prevents corrosion, shortens the maintenance cycle, adapts to short offshore operation windows, and improves construction accuracy and efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pile foundation construction engineering technology, and in particular to a local reinforcement device for marine concrete piles and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] In marine engineering fields such as port terminals, cross-sea bridges, offshore wind power, and photovoltaics, large-diameter concrete pipe piles are the core load-bearing structures, and their integrity directly determines the stability, safety, and service life of the project. As marine engineering expands into the deep sea, the dynamic loads such as surges and tides borne by the pipe piles become more complex. Hammering construction or long-term service can easily lead to pile cracking and breakage, and existing reinforcement technologies are difficult to adapt to the harsh working conditions.
[0003] Currently, the reinforcement of broken offshore pipe piles mostly adopts traditional steel pipe hoops, which involve methods such as no shear studs, ordinary concrete pouring, steel plate welding, or carbon fiber cloth bonding. These technologies have obvious limitations: traditional steel pipe hoops do not have shear studs, the interface bonding between ordinary concrete and steel pipe / original pile is weak, and delamination and sliding are prone to occur under stress, making it impossible to form a whole load-bearing system; the steel pipes are not treated with targeted anti-corrosion measures, and electrochemical corrosion is prone to occur in high salt spray environments, causing the reinforcement layer to crack and peel off in a short period of time; ordinary concrete has poor fluidity and low impermeability, is prone to segregation during underwater pouring, and has a long curing period, making it difficult to adapt to short offshore operation windows such as periods without wind and waves.
[0004] There is an urgent need in this field for a reinforcement solution that combines "corrosion resistance, strong synergy, and high adaptability": it must solve the problem of marine corrosion of steel pipes, strengthen the synergy between the reinforcement layer and the original pile, and be adaptable to rapid underwater and offshore construction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a local reinforcement device for marine concrete piles and its construction method. By using a steel pipe with an anti-corrosion coating, welding shear studs inside the steel pipe, and employing ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) grouting and a specialized fixing method, the invention utilizes the high fluidity, high impermeability, and early high strength characteristics of UHPC, combined with the interface strengthening effect of shear studs, to solve the pain points of traditional technologies and provide a reliable solution for the reinforcement of broken piles in marine engineering.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a partial reinforcement device for marine concrete piles, comprising a reinforced concrete pipe pile, a steel pipe with an epoxy anti-corrosion coating, and annular positioning clamps. A set of annular positioning clamps is connected to both the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the epoxy anti-corrosion coated steel pipe. The epoxy anti-corrosion coated steel pipe is coaxially arranged with the reinforced concrete pipe pile, and is located at the break point of the reinforced concrete pipe pile. The two sets of annular positioning clamps lock the epoxy anti-corrosion coated steel pipe to the reinforced concrete pipe pile.
[0007] Preferably, the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating is a hollow cylindrical shape, and the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating has a two-part detachable structure. The two parts of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating are connected together by steel pipe locking bolts and nuts.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating is uniformly fixed with shear studs along the axial direction, and the shear studs are extended toward the center of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating to improve the shear bearing capacity.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the outer wall of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating is provided with a grouting hole, and the bottom of the outer wall of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating is provided with a venting hole, for underwater high-pressure injection of ultra-high performance concrete grout.
[0010] Preferably, the annular positioning clamp is a two-part detachable structure, and the two parts of the annular positioning clamp are connected together by clamp locking bolts and nuts.
[0011] Preferably, the inner ring of the annular positioning clamp is provided with an annular elastic guide block, the elastic guide block protruding towards the center of the annular positioning clamp, and the elastic guide block is in contact with the outer wall of the reinforced concrete pipe pile.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the annular positioning clamp is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which is engaged with the outer wall of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating to fix the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating.
[0013] A construction method for a local reinforcement device for marine concrete piles includes the following steps: Step 1: Before installing the ring positioning clamp, carry out the preparatory work by checking whether the two-lobed ring positioning clamp, the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating, and the bolt and nut assembly are complete. Step 2: Insert the two-lobed annular positioning clamp into the reinforced concrete pipe pile. With the help of the elastic guide block structure of the annular positioning clamp, make the centroid of the reinforced concrete pipe pile coaxial with the centroid of the annular positioning clamp. Step 3: Use clamp locking bolts and nuts to pre-tighten a two-lobed annular positioning clamp, so that the annular positioning clamp is initially tightly connected to the reinforced concrete pipe pile; Step 4: Place the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating onto the broken pile, and make the groove of another annular positioning clamp engage with the outer wall of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating to achieve positioning constraint between the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating and the broken pile. Then tighten the clamp locking bolts and nuts at the top of all the annular positioning clamps, and the steel pipe locking bolts and nuts of the steel pipe with epoxy anti-corrosion coating to achieve fixation. Step 5: Using a high-pressure water gun, inject underwater grouting material through the pre-drilled grouting hole at the top of the steel pipe to fill the gap between the epoxy-coated steel pipe and the broken pile, thus completing the overall reinforcement construction.
[0014] The advantages and positive effects of the local reinforcement device for marine concrete piles and its construction method described in this invention are as follows: 1. Existing technologies suffer from poor coordination between the steel pipe, concrete, and original pile due to the absence of shear studs and the use of ordinary concrete. This invention pre-welds shear studs onto the inner wall of the steel pipe, with the studs evenly distributed axially and circumferentially. Combined with the high adhesion of ultra-high performance concrete, the shear studs embed into the ultra-high performance concrete, forming a dual force transmission structure of "mechanical interlocking and interfacial bonding." Simultaneously, the ultra-high performance concrete fills the cracks in the original pile and the gap between the steel pipe and the original pile, achieving overall force distribution among the three components, preventing delamination and slippage, and significantly improving load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance.
[0015] 2. Existing steel pipes lack corrosion protection, and ordinary concrete has poor impermeability, making them susceptible to seawater corrosion. The steel pipes of this invention are coated with an epoxy anti-corrosion coating before leaving the factory, isolating them from seawater contact; the ultra-high performance concrete has a chloride ion permeability resistance coefficient ≤1×10⁻⁶. -12 The flow rate is m / s, forming a dense protective layer that prevents seawater from seeping in and eroding the original pile. This dual anti-corrosion design solves the problem of insufficient durability in traditional technologies, increasing the service life of the reinforced structure by more than three times.
[0016] 3. Existing ordinary concrete has poor fluidity and a long curing time, making it unsuitable for offshore working conditions. The ultra-high performance concrete used in this invention has good fluidity and can be poured underwater by self-leveling without vibration; moreover, ultra-high performance concrete has high early strength, shortening the curing period to 1-2 days, making it suitable for short offshore working windows. At the same time, the elastic guide blocks on the inner wall of the steel pipe and the annular positioning clamps ensure that the steel pipe is coaxial with the original pile, unaffected by wind and waves, improving construction accuracy and efficiency.
