Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of retaining walls or protective walls for underground or underwater structures, specifically to a drainage structure for support equipment in underground construction and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of underground construction, especially in projects involving basements or purely underground structures, the drainage treatment of the support sidewalls is a crucial step in ensuring construction quality and safety. In existing technologies, groundwater seepage often has a significant impact on the construction process. For example, pouring concrete under waterlogged conditions reduces concrete strength; the structure is prone to water leakage, leading to waterproofing failure; and especially in construction scenarios with supports, it is impossible to effectively apply external waterproofing membranes, thus affecting the overall project progress and quality.

[0003] There are currently various underground drainage and support methods, such as: Chinese invention patent 103741715A disclosed on April 23, 2014, a method for waterproofing and draining a basement. It mainly uses a water collection well, a graded pebble drainage layer and a pumping system to achieve floor drainage, aiming to prevent leakage and buoyancy problems. Chinese invention patent 219909054U disclosed on October 27, 2023, a concrete retaining wall drainage system that uses embedded drainage pipes and check valves to directly discharge water, and is applicable to retaining walls in water conservancy projects. Chinese invention patent 115354686A disclosed on November 18, 2022, a retaining wall structure with drainage effect, which adopts inclined drainage pipe and rotating self-cleaning mechanism to reduce hydrostatic pressure. Chinese invention patent 101446084A disclosed on June 3, 2009, a structure and method for combining outdoor and indoor drainage in underground buildings, which combines blind drains and waterproof coatings to treat wall foundation drainage. Chinese invention patent 218521808U disclosed on February 24, 2023, a foundation pit support structure that passively releases internal water pressure through drainage holes.

[0004] While the aforementioned technical solutions can alleviate groundwater problems to some extent, they primarily target drainage for floors, foundations, or retaining walls. They rely on active pumping, pipe networks, or mechanical components, resulting in complex construction and high costs. Furthermore, in complex groundwater seepage environments, they struggle to effectively control sidewall seepage and ensure the support walls remain dry for high-quality waterproofing layer application. Particularly in supported underground projects, existing drainage measures often fail to create efficient passive drainage channels, leading to seepage and dampness that negatively impacts the adhesion of waterproofing membranes and the overall waterproofing performance of the project. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an underground construction auxiliary equipment that is easy to construct and has good drainage effect, this invention discloses a drainage structure and construction method of a support equipment in underground building construction.

[0006] The present invention achieves its objective through the following technical solution: A drainage structure for support equipment in underground construction includes a foundation pit excavated on the surrounding rock, characterized in that it further includes blind drains, blind wells, gravel, a drainage layer, a support base slab, support walls, a waterproof layer, a main base slab, and a main wall. Excavate a blind ditch along at least one side of the bottom of the foundation pit, and excavate a blind well at at least one corner of the bottom of the foundation pit. The depth of the blind well is greater than the depth of the blind ditch, and both the blind ditch and the blind well are filled with gravel. A drainage layer is applied to the bottom surface and inner wall of the foundation pit. A support base plate is laid on the drainage layer applied to the bottom surface of the foundation pit, and a support wall is laid on the drainage layer applied to the inner wall of the foundation pit. The outer edge of the support base plate and the bottom edge of the support wall are connected to each other. A waterproof layer is applied to both the support base plate and the support wall. The main base plate is laid on the waterproof layer on the bottom surface of the foundation pit, and the main wall is laid on the waterproof layer on the inner wall of the foundation pit.

The drainage wells were located on one side of the foundation pit, and their depth was greater than that of the foundation pit. The lower part of the drainage wells was connected to the blind wells through water supply pipes.

[0007] The drainage structure of the support equipment in the underground construction is characterized in that: the depth of the blind well is not less than twice the depth of the blind ditch, the length of the blind ditch is not less than % of the length of the bottom edge of the foundation pit where the blind ditch is located, and the side length of the blind well is not greater than twice the width of the blind ditch.

[0009] The construction method for the drainage structure of the support equipment in underground building construction is characterized by the following steps being implemented sequentially: S1. Excavation of foundation pit: A foundation pit excavated on the surrounding rock, with a blind ditch excavated along at least one side of the bottom of the foundation pit, and a blind well excavated at at least one corner of the bottom of the foundation pit, the depth of the blind well being greater than the depth of the blind ditch, and both the blind ditch and the blind well being filled with rounded gravel; S2.

The unit strips of each layer are parallel to each other and have a gap. The unit strips of adjacent layers are perpendicular to each other and are bonded to each other. The number of unit strip layers is not less than three.

[0012] Existing drainage technologies and support methods have significant shortcomings and cannot meet the stringent requirements for external waterproofing membranes in supported underground engineering projects. There is an urgent need for a sidewall drainage structure that is simple to construct, low in cost, and provides significant drainage effects to overcome the deficiencies of existing technologies, ensure construction quality, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. This invention achieves effective control of complex groundwater seepage, solving the problems of complex construction and ineffective drainage measures in existing technologies. It has the advantages of simple materials, readily available market availability, low labor costs, and significant drainage effects. Furthermore, by expanding design concepts, such as integrating auxiliary materials and adjusting parameters, the adaptability and intelligence of the structure are improved, ensuring the maintenance of engineering quality and efficiency under diverse geological conditions.
