Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waterway support technology, and in particular to a combined large and small arch stress-induced drainage waterway slope support structure. Background Technology
[0002] In shipping engineering, river regulation, and port construction, slope stability is a crucial foundation for ensuring waterway safety and the long-term operation of the project. Influenced by factors such as periodic water level changes, ship loads, seepage, and the weight of the soil, high pore water pressure can easily form within shipping slopes, leading to a reduction in effective soil stress and shear strength, thereby inducing slope slippage, deformation, and even instability.
[0003] In existing shipping slope protection projects, techniques such as gravity retaining walls, pile-slab structures, anchor cable reinforcement, composite foundation treatment, or forced drainage systems are commonly used to improve slope anti-sliding stability. These techniques largely rely on increasing structural stiffness or installing external drainage facilities to improve slope stability. While they can control deformation to some extent, they generally suffer from problems such as large material consumption, complex construction, high project costs, and insufficient adaptability to foundation conditions.
[0004] On the other hand, existing drainage measures are mostly based on "passive drainage" or "externally powered drainage," and their drainage efficiency is easily affected by construction quality, maintenance conditions, and operating environment, making it difficult to continuously and effectively dissipate pore water pressure within the soil during the long-term service of the slope. At the same time, some support structures are mainly rigidly constrained, ignoring the stress redistribution characteristics of the soil under its own weight and lateral earth pressure, and failing to fully utilize the promoting effect of the soil's own stress conditions on pore water migration and discharge.
[0005] In addition, in existing shipping slope reinforcement projects using pile groups, the piles are mostly arranged in a regular or uniform manner, and the stress transfer path between the piles is singular, making it difficult to form a stable and continuous arch effect stress system. This leads to stress concentration and insufficient drainage, and the improvement of slope stability still depends on increasing the pile diameter, reducing the pile spacing, or superimposing other reinforcement measures, which further increases the project cost.

[0019] Example like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this invention provides a combined large and small arch stress-induced drainage navigation slope support structure, including a combined arch structure. The combined arch structure includes a top arch 1 and a bottom arch 2 connected to the top arch 1. Multiple sets of bottom arches 2 are provided, all located on the arch back of the top arch 1. The bottom arch 2 includes rigid piles 22 and a first flexible pile group. The first flexible pile group includes multiple first flexible pile units 21, which are closely connected along the same arch axis. The rigid piles 22 are located at the arch feet on both sides of the bottom arch 2 and are closely connected to the first flexible pile group. A drainage pipe 5 is provided on one side of the rigid pile 22, and the drainage pipe 5 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane to coordinate the drainage direction with the direction of water migration in the soil. The rigid piles 22 serve as load-bearing and force-transmitting components, used to bear and transmit large concentrated stresses, while the first flexible pile group is used to achieve stress redistribution and deformation coordination.
[0020] Under the action of the slope soil's self-weight and lateral earth pressure, an arch effect stress path is formed inside the bottom arch 2. The soil stress is transmitted along the arch axis and concentrates at the arch foot of the bottom arch 2, i.e., at the rigid pile 22. Since the rigid pile 22 is the key area for the transmission of axial pressure from the arch to the supporting structure, the earth pressure it bears is significantly higher than that in the arch crown and arch belly areas, thus forming a higher pore water pressure in this area.
[0021] By installing drainage pipes 5 at the rigid piles 22, a stable drainage driving force can be formed under the action of the soil's own stress, causing pore water to be discharged more rapidly along the direction of drainage pipes 5, thus achieving continuous dissipation of pore water pressure. As the pore water pressure decreases, the effective stress of the arch foot and the surrounding soil is increased, and the shear strength of the soil is enhanced, thereby improving the overall anti-sliding stability of the navigation slope.
[0022] In this embodiment, the top arch 1 includes a second flexible pile group, which includes multiple second flexible pile units 11, and the multiple second flexible pile units 11 are closely connected along the same arch axis.
[0023] In this embodiment, the support structure also includes a third flexible pile group and a fourth flexible pile group. The fourth flexible pile group is arranged on both sides of the third flexible pile group and is closely connected to the third flexible pile group. The third flexible pile group is arranged along the direction of the waterway, and the fourth flexible pile group is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the waterway.
[0024] In this embodiment, the third flexible pile group is provided in multiple groups, each group is closely connected to the other, and each group includes multiple closely connected third flexible pile units 3 along the same axis. In this embodiment, the fourth flexible pile group is also provided in multiple groups, each group is closely connected to each other, and each group includes multiple closely connected fourth flexible pile units 4 along the same axis.
[0025] In this embodiment, the first flexible pile unit 21, the second flexible pile unit 11, the third flexible pile unit 3, and the fourth flexible pile unit 4 are all cement piles.
[0026] In this embodiment, the rigid pile 22 at the arch foot of the top arch 1 is connected to the fourth flexible pile group.
[0027] In this embodiment, the arc range of the top arch 1 is 70-120°, and the arc range of the bottom arch 2 is 50-80°.
[0028] The technical principle of the support structure of this invention is as follows: In the composite arch structure of this invention, the top arch 1 and the bottom arch 2 form a continuous stress boundary, and the stress is transmitted from the top of the arch to the bottom of the arch along the arch axis. The soil is subjected to stress under its own weight. and lateral earth pressure The stress is transmitted from the arch crown to the arch foot along the arch axis, where, This is the lateral pressure coefficient. Indicates the burial depth of the calculation point. This indicates the natural density of the soil.
[0029] In the bottom arch 2 structure, under the action of earth pressure, it can be approximated as a compression arch structure subjected to uniformly distributed load. Its interior is dominated by axial pressure, and the axial pressure at any section inside the arch is expressed as: ; In the formula, For the axial pressure, The bending moment at this section is... The height of the arch arrow.
[0030] In the top arch 1 structure, the bending moment at the arch crown is relatively large, but the axial force is relatively small. The rigid pile 22 not only bears the axial pressure but also the horizontal thrust generated by the lateral pressure of the soil. The resultant force at the arch foot is expressed as: ; In the formula, This refers to the axial pressure on the arch. The horizontal thrust of the arch, This indicates the pressure exerted on a rigid pile.
[0031] Based on the aforementioned stress distribution characteristics, rigid piles 22 are used at the arch foot of the bottom arch to effectively withstand concentrated axial pressure and horizontal thrust; flexible piles are used in the remaining parts to allow for a certain degree of deformation to achieve stress adjustment and diffusion. This design helps to avoid stress abrupt changes caused by a fully rigid structure; improves the stability of the arch effect; and reduces material usage and engineering costs.
[0032] According to Terzaghi's effective stress principle, the relationship between effective stress and pore water pressure is as follows: ; In the formula, For effective stress, For the total stress, This represents the pore water pressure. In the stress concentration zone of a rigid pile, the total stress is... The soil porosity tends to compress significantly, and if drainage conditions are insufficient, then... As the effective stress increases, the increase in effective stress becomes limited.
[0033] When a drainage pipe 5 is installed at the rigid pile 22, high total stress leads to high pore water pressure. The drainage pipe 5 acts as a low water head boundary, forming a stable hydraulic gradient within the soil. ; According to Darcy's Law: ; In the formula, For seepage flow, The soil permeability coefficient, The effective seepage area.
[0034] Because the stress at the rigid piles is present for a long time, the drainage process is continuous and self-driven, and pore water can be discharged without the need for external power.
[0035] As pore water pressure decreases, effective stress... The soil shear strength increases according to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, as shown in the formula: ; In the formula, For effective cohesion, This is the effective internal friction angle.
[0036] Due to the increased shear strength, the anti-sliding force of the waterway slope increases, the safety factor improves, and the reliance on external reinforcement and drainage measures decreases.
[0037] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned combined large and small arch stress-induced drainage navigation slope support structure, which can make full use of the drainage potential of the stress concentration area of the soil without relying on external power drainage, and achieve synergistic improvement of stress-induced drainage and slope stability.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
