Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geotechnical engineering, in particular to a cast-in-place reinforced soil retaining wall for gravel backfill slope, which is especially suitable for large backfill slope support engineering. BACKGROUND
[0002] Today, with the rapid development of China's economy, the state is investing more and more in infrastructure, whether it is transportation, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, or today's ecological restoration engineering, slope engineering has always been a problem that cannot be ignored in engineering construction. China has a large land area and complex topography and geomorphology, of which the mountainous area accounts for about 51.9% of the total area of the country. There are quite a number of natural slopes or artificial slopes in mountainous areas due to development and construction. With more and more slopes and higher and higher slopes, under the action of natural and human factors, the slope is very prone to instability.
[0003] Achieving the "double carbon" goal is a broad and profound economic and social systemic change. As an important part of achieving the "double carbon", energy transformation is leading China's industrial transformation in recent years. China's new energy development represented by wind power and photovoltaic power generation has achieved remarkable results, and most of the supporting power stations are located in mountainous areas and other areas with large changes in terrain, which need large-area backfill to provide enough space for power stations. The slope control problem of high slope backfill is crucial.
[0004] Most of the existing backfill slopes are soil slopes, which use backfill soil purchased from the site or outside to backfill, but in many mountainous areas in China, there are a large number of mountains. In order to balance the excavation and filling of earthwork and to purchase soil outside, gravel is used for filling, and due to the limitation of land use red line, there is not enough area to use as a retaining wall or a slope. However, due to different regions, the traditional geogrid design anchoring construction method is not suitable, and the cost is high and the construction speed is slow. There are two methods for the design of the current geogrid reinforced soil retaining wall for slope:
[0005] 1. The geotextile bag with pre-embedded grass seeds is used in cooperation with the geogrid, which is laid on the slope surface and the geogrid head is bent and pre-embedded into the bottom of the upper geogrid, and the slope surface is protected by greening. However, in the northern part of China, the annual rainfall is low, and the geotextile bag embedded in the slope surface cannot play the role of greening slope protection, so it is not suitable.
[0006] 2. The existing engineering method for slope protection is to use concrete precast blocks and place the geogrid in the gap between the precast blocks to fix it. However, for strongly weathered rock (soil) slope, most of the slope body is composed of gravel, and it is difficult to use concrete precast blocks in this case.
[0007] In summary, for the rock (soil) slope composed of gravel with low rainfall, a more reasonable and practical structure needs to be proposed to stabilize the overall stability of the slope body. SUMMARY
[0008] The present application provides a cast-in-place reinforced soil retaining wall for gravel backfill slope, which uses steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid to effectively prevent gravel friction damage, and the reinforcement mesh in the slope surface concrete layer provides tensile resistance for the slope protection concrete layer to prevent the concrete layer from cracking, and the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is tensioned in the longitudinal and transverse directions, bent and fixed outside the reinforcement mesh and anchored into the concrete layer, so that the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid can be effectively fixed inside the slope body to achieve the purpose of slope support.

[0011] Further, the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is fully laid every 1m.
[0012] Further, the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is fixed by overlapping with steel bars or steel wires.
[0013] Further, the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is bent by not less than 1m, and the bent part is fixed by binding with the reinforcement mesh using iron wire.

[0015] Further, the thickness of the concrete layer is 200mm, and the concrete strength is C25.
[0016] Further, the retaining wall comprises a slope top, the slope top is capped with MU25 flagstones using M5 mortar, and a 20mm wide deformation joint is provided every 15-20m.
[0017] Further, the retaining wall comprises a slope foot, the slope foot is capped with MU25 flagstones using M5 mortar, and a 20mm wide deformation joint is provided every 15-20m.

[0020] 2、The retaining wall solves the problems of overall stability of large gravel filling slope and greening slope protection in areas lacking rainfall, and also solves the difficulty of rock slope composed of gravel that cannot be supported by soil nail wall (because gravel cannot provide the bonding strength of anchoring body), can be used for gravel backfill slope in areas lacking rainfall, has low cost, rapid construction, good protection effect, and has been put into use in actual engineering.

[0032] I. Finite Element Simulation
[0033] For the overall stability of the slope, the reinforced soil retaining wall is used, which is composed of slope gravel, and ordinary plastic geogrid is easily damaged by direct sliding of gravel. If the tensile direction is damaged, the tensile strength of the slope will be greatly reduced, and the soil sliding force will be concentrated in the damaged part, causing shear effect on the slope and landslide. Therefore, the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is used, and the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is provided with steel wire inside, which can effectively prevent the damage of geogrid caused by gravel friction, and can ensure that the slope can provide good shear capacity in different directions.
[0034] The technical solutions provided by the present application are: Figures 1-6As shown, a cast-in-place reinforced soil retaining wall for gravel backfill slope includes a slope surface and a slope body, the slope surface is a concrete layer 4, the concrete layer 4 is internally laid with a steel mesh 3, the slope body includes gravel 1 and horizontally laid multiple layers of steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2, the gravel 1 is filled between the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2, the vertical spacing of the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 is 1m, the overlapping length between the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 is not less than 300mm, and the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 are bent and fixed outside the steel mesh 3 and anchored into the concrete layer 4.
[0035] The steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 are fully laid at the slope bottom, every 1m is fully laid, the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 are tensioned in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and short steel bars can be used for fixation, so that the steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 can fully provide shear resistance in the soil body. The overlapping length should not be less than 300mm, and steel bars and steel wires are used for fixation at the overlapping position. The overlapping length refers to when the length of a piece of steel-plastic bidirectional geogrid is not enough, another piece is used to splice this piece, and a part of overlap is required when splicing, and the overlapping length is the overlap length.
[0036] Each layer of steel-plastic bidirectional geogrids 2 is laid according to the calculation results of the finite element software in the longitudinal position, and is laid with a vertical spacing of 1m, and is laid layer by layer to the slope top, and needs to pass through the potential sliding surface in the longitudinal direction, so as to provide shear resistance to the slope body, and to achieve the standard of overall stability of the slope.
