[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the construction structure for the T-shaped connection node between the newly built power tunnel 400 and the existing power tunnel 500 includes a working shaft retaining structure 100 and two water-stop curtains 200. The working shaft retaining structure 100 includes a diaphragm wall frame 110, which is used to be installed at the T-shaped connection node between the newly built power tunnel 400 and the existing power tunnel 500. One end of the diaphragm wall frame 110 in the length direction is used to connect with the newly built power tunnel 400, and the other end of the diaphragm wall frame 110 leaves a ground wall notch 111 in the width direction, through which the existing power tunnel 500 passes. The gap 111 passes through; two water-stop curtains 200 are respectively set at opposite ends of the gap 111 in the ground wall. The water-stop curtains 200 are composed of multiple high-pressure jet grouting piles. Each water-stop curtain 200 is enclosed with the diaphragm wall frame 110 to form a reinforced area. The existing power tunnel 500 passes through the water-stop curtains 200. The reinforced area forms a first reinforced soil layer 310. The first reinforced soil layer 310 covers the existing power tunnel 500. The first reinforced soil layer 310, the water-stop curtains 200 and the diaphragm wall frame 110 cooperate with each other to seal the gap between the ground wall gap 111 and the existing power tunnel 500.
[0021] The present invention can seal the gap between the ground wall gap 111 and the existing power tunnel 500 by the cooperation of the first reinforced soil layer 310, the water-stop curtain 200 and the ground wall frame 110 of the working well enclosure structure 100, forming a double waterproof structure, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of poor sealing around the existing power tunnel 500 when the foundation pit is excavated inside the enclosure structure.
[0022] Reference Figure 1According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water-stop curtain 200 includes a first curtain 200a, a second curtain 200b, and a third curtain 200c connected in sequence. The second curtain 200b is located on the side of the first curtain 200a away from the diaphragm wall frame 110. The existing power tunnel 500 is located between the first curtain 200a and the third curtain 200c. The first curtain 200a and the third curtain 200c are both composed of a plurality of high-pressure jet grouting piles arranged along the axial direction of the existing power tunnel 500. The third curtain 200c is composed of a plurality of high-pressure jet grouting piles arranged radially along the existing power tunnel 500. The existing power tunnel 500 passes through the third curtain 200c. The bottom end of the high-pressure jet grouting pile located above the existing power tunnel 500 is constructed to the existing power tunnel 500. The bottom end of the other high-pressure jet grouting piles is close to the bottom end of the diaphragm wall frame 110. Thus, the water-stop curtain 200 can form an effective waterproof and leak-proof barrier around the existing power tunnel 500 outside the gap 111 in the ground wall.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the first curtain 200a or the third curtain 200c and the existing power tunnel 500 is 2 to 4m, and the distance between the second curtain 200b and the diaphragm wall frame 110 is 4 to 6m, so as to ensure that the size of the reinforced area enclosed by each curtain is appropriate, taking into account the construction cost and the impact on the existing power tunnel 500.
[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the high-pressure jet grouting pile is 800 mm, and the center distance between two adjacent high-pressure jet grouting piles is 450 mm, thereby forming a sealed and seamless water-stop curtain 200.
[0025] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first reinforced soil layer 310 is constructed using the MJS method, and the reinforcement range is within 3m on both sides of the existing power tunnel 500 and within 5m above and below the existing power tunnel 500. The MJS method (Metro JetSystem), also known as the all-round high-pressure jet grouting method, is a new type of foundation reinforcement technology developed on the basis of traditional high-pressure jet grouting technology. Its core advantage lies in forced grout drainage + real-time monitoring and control of ground pressure, which can accurately and with minimal disturbance reinforce the soil in a closed space.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the diaphragm wall on the upper side wall of the ground wall gap 111 and the existing power tunnel 500 is 1m.
[0027] Reference Figure 1According to some embodiments of the present invention, the working well enclosure structure 100 further includes an inner support frame 120 disposed inside the diaphragm wall frame 110. The inner support frame 120 is disposed after the foundation pit inside the diaphragm wall frame 110 is excavated, so as to provide internal support for the diaphragm wall frame 110 and enhance the ability of the diaphragm wall frame 110 to withstand soil compression.
[0028] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the construction method of the above-mentioned construction structure includes: Step 1: constructing the diaphragm wall frame 110 of the working well retaining structure 100; Step 2: constructing the water-stop curtain 200; Step 3: constructing the first reinforced soil layer 310 in the reinforced area formed by the water-stop curtain 200 and the diaphragm wall frame 110; Step 4: excavating the foundation pit and setting internal supports within the diaphragm wall frame 110; Step 5: demolishing the existing power tunnel 500 located within the diaphragm wall frame 110. Using the above configuration, the construction of the T-shaped connection node between the new power tunnel and the existing power tunnel can be completed, and the sealing of the foundation pit throughout the construction process can be ensured, effectively preventing accidents such as water and sand inrush around the existing power tunnel 500.
[0029] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in some embodiments, a maintenance station and a maintenance warehouse can be set up in the foundation pit within the working well retaining structure 100 so that workers can enter the power tunnel from the maintenance station entrance to carry out power maintenance.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a pre-embedded steel ring 130 is provided at one end of the diaphragm wall frame 110. An opening for the new power tunnel 400 to pass through is formed in the pre-embedded steel ring 130. The pre-embedded steel ring 130 is fully welded to the reinforcing cage of the diaphragm wall frame 110 and constructed simultaneously to ensure that the pre-embedded steel ring 130 and the wall share the load. A curtain rubber plate is installed on the inner wall of the pre-embedded steel ring 130 through a pre-embedded flange. The curtain rubber plate is a core dynamic water-stopping component and is made of wear-resistant and aging-resistant rubber. When the tunnel boring machine advances, the curtain rubber plate is squeezed and pressed tightly against the outer shell of the tunnel boring machine to prevent groundwater and soil from entering the foundation pit. A water-swellable rubber water-stop strip is attached to the outer periphery of the pre-embedded steel ring 130. 140, to fill the gaps in the concrete pouring, forming the first static water-stopping defense line; the inner wall of the pre-embedded steel ring 130 is pre-set with grouting holes for later gap filling grouting to form a seal; a second reinforcing soil layer 320 is set on the side of the pre-embedded steel ring 130 away from the diaphragm wall frame 110, the reinforcement range is 3-5m along the axis of the newly built power tunnel 400 outside the opening and 2-3m radially outward along the newly built power tunnel 400 outside the opening. Thus, the diaphragm wall frame 110, the pre-embedded steel ring 130, the curtain rubber sheet and the second reinforcing soil layer 320 work together to achieve sealing and waterproofing, ensuring the sealing of the foundation pit before the newly built power tunnel 400 connects with the diaphragm wall frame 110.
[0031] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
