Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of port and coastal engineering technology, and more specifically to a prefabricated slab-pile wave-dissipating structure and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] A breakwater is a hydraulic structure used to protect ports and coastlines. Its main function is to block waves, maintain water stability, and ensure the safe berthing and operation of ships. For passenger terminals and workboat terminals, which primarily handle passenger boarding and disembarking, the high requirements for berthing stability, combined with the engineering characteristics of soft soil foundations, pile-foundation permeable breakwaters have become a core solution for reducing wave action, improving berthing stability, and enhancing the safety of personnel boarding and disembarking. With the development of port engineering, the site selection for new terminals has gradually shifted to areas with more complex sea conditions and greater water depth. Traditional permeable breakwaters have also evolved from baffle-type structures to structures combining baffle-type structures with closely spaced piles, and closely spaced inclined piles, to adapt to more severe wave conditions and deeper waters.

[0003] Openwork breakwaters must simultaneously meet the dual requirements of wave reduction during operation and resistance to wave forces during typhoons. Better wave reduction results in greater wave forces during typhoons, leading to increased construction costs. Even for small and medium-sized vessels, expensive steel pipe pile structures are often necessary. The combination of baffles and densely packed piles, where the upper structure of the baffle is separate from the densely packed piles below, reduces wave loads on the upper structure. However, the densely packed piles are cantilevered structures, unsuitable for deep water. Densely packed inclined pile structures fully utilize the axial tensile strength of the inclined piles, better adapting to deep water and soft soil foundations. However, due to high wave reflection and poor berthing stability at the leading edge, they can only be used for berthing at the trailing edge. Furthermore, the construction of the densely packed inclined piles and the cast-in-place cap beam structure at the pile top are very difficult, becoming key factors restricting construction quality and schedule.

[0004] As a novel type of permeable breakwater, the horizontal slab breakwater takes into account the characteristic of wave energy concentrating on the water surface. It places the horizontal slab near the water surface to reduce wave impact. Its primary characteristics are high permeability and layered energy dissipation. Its excellent permeability provides good wave-dissipating performance, with weak wave reflection. Unlike solid breakwaters, wave barriers, and densely packed piles that reflect waves completely, the slab structure transforms the traditional "hard blocking" of solid breakwaters into a "guiding + energy dissipation" mode through high permeability. This fundamentally avoids the problem of reflected waves and incident waves superimposing to form standing waves. Therefore, it is well-suited for placement beneath high-pile quays, creating berths for large ships on the sea side and passenger ferries, workboats, and other small and medium-sized vessels on the land side. However, how to install and fix the horizontal slab in the water remains an unsolved problem in engineering, and therefore, there are currently no application examples.

[0005] Chinese utility model patent CN221000839U (publication date: May 24, 2024) discloses a prefabricated combined permeable breakwater structure. This structure combines prefabricated wave walls, wave-breaking plates, pile foundations, and cast-in-place foundations, and adds a wave-dissipating submerged dike to form a multi-stage wave-dissipating system. The bottom elevation of the cast-in-place foundation of this utility model is above the normal water level of the water body. The pile-foundation permeable breakwater can be constructed while the water is still wet, demonstrating strong adaptability to the construction environment. By combining the pile-foundation permeable breakwater with the wave-dissipating submerged dike of the sloping dike structure, the advantages of both are combined. The dike body is compact, the settlement is uniform, and a multi-stage wave-dissipating system is formed, resulting in good wave-dissipating performance and a good wave-dissipating effect. However, the construction of the cast-in-place foundation is constrained by the construction water level and requires procedures such as enclosing the dike, erecting formwork, tying reinforcing bars, pouring concrete, removing formwork, and dismantling the enclosing dike, making the construction process relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a prefabricated slab-pile wave-damping structure, comprising: piles, slab modules, wing plates, building materials, pile core concrete, and riprap bottom protection; The foundation piles include a front row of foundation piles and a rear row of foundation piles arranged in a staggered manner; The layer module includes a layer structure and a steel sleeve; The layered modules are placed on top of the foundation piles and connected by building materials to form a spatial portal frame structure.

[0007] Furthermore, wing plates are provided on both sides of the foundation pile. The wing plates are U-shaped steel plates that are welded to the foundation pile to form a closed structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the layer module is a precast concrete structure, and during precasting, each layer is connected into a whole by pre-embedded steel sleeves; the outer side of the steel sleeves is welded with reinforcing bars or shear rings.

[0009] Furthermore, the layer structure is either two-layered or three-layered.

[0010] Furthermore, the building material is either mortar or concrete.

[0011] Furthermore, the gap between the steel sleeve and the foundation pile is 60~80mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the foundation pile and the steel sleeve are connected by building materials, and pile core concrete is set inside the pile; the distance from the top of the pile to the bottom surface of the layered structure is 1 to 2 times the pile diameter.

[0013] Furthermore, anti-corrosion measures should be taken for the exposed parts on the outer side of the pre-embedded steel sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, if the pile driving deviation is large, the position of the pre-embedded steel sleeve can be adjusted, or the diameter of the steel sleeve can be increased.

[0015] This application also provides a construction method for a prefabricated slab-pile wave-damping structure, including the following steps: Step S1: Construction preparation; Step S2: Prefabrication of foundation piles and slab modules; Step S3: Foundation pile construction; Step S4: Construct riprap for bottom protection; Step S5: Lifting the layer slab module, placing the steel sleeve pre-embedded in the layer slab module onto the already constructed foundation piles; Step S6: The steel sleeves embedded in the slab modules are connected to the foundation piles by grouting building materials to form a single set of prefabricated wave-damping structures; Step S7: Pour the core concrete into the pile to the top of the uppermost layer of the slab structure.

[0016] Step S1 includes: Step S11: Complete the cross-sectional and reinforcement calculations for the structure; Step S12: Determine the specifications of the foundation piles and steel sleeves based on calculations and actual conditions.

[0017] Step S2 includes: Step S21: The bottom layer of the prefabricated slab structure has a steel sleeve embedded in it; Step S22: The upper layer of the prefabricated layer structure is connected to the steel sleeve, so that the steel sleeve is pre-embedded in it.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages and effects of this application are as follows: 1. The present invention provides a prefabricated layered slab-pile wave-damping structure, which arranges conventional closely spaced piles in a staggered manner into front and rear rows of winged piles, and connects them to the piles through prefabricated layered slab modules to form a portal frame structure. The front and rear rows of piles facilitate pile driving construction, resulting in better overall structural stress conditions. The winged plates on both sides of the piles can further reduce wave action, and the winged plates in the soil can increase the soil stress area, improving the horizontal bearing capacity of the piles. The layered slab structure avoids the superposition of reflected waves and incident waves to form standing waves, thus dispersing the stress. The bending resistance of the portal frame structure is much greater than that of independent closely spaced piles, and due to the staggered arrangement of the front and rear rows of piles, standing waves will not form on the wave-facing side of the portal frame structure, and the energy of the waves will be attenuated after passing through the staggered piles.

[0019] 2. The prefabricated slab-pile wave-dissipating structure provided by this invention is borne by multiple slabs and pile foundations, rather than concentrated at a certain elevation. The structure is more uniformly stressed, significantly reducing the impact load on the structure. While attenuating wave energy, there is no obvious stress concentration area. The prefabricated pile foundation wave-dissipating structure, which combines slab structure and staggered pile foundations, can effectively dissipate waves without affecting the exchange of water inside and outside the port area. It has advantages in diluting pollutants and maintaining ecological balance.

[0020] 3. The present invention provides a construction method for a prefabricated slab-pile wave-damping structure, which reduces wave force by utilizing the permeability of the slab, and allows large waves to pass over the top surface of the slab during typhoons, thus optimizing the survival conditions of the structure; at the same time, the prefabricated construction makes the overall process simpler, significantly shortens the construction period, and is in line with the concept of green and environmentally friendly engineering.

[0034] Both sides of the foundation pile 1 are provided with wing plates 3, which are U-shaped steel plates and welded to the foundation pile 1 to form a closed structure.

[0035] The layer module 2 is a precast concrete structure. During prefabrication, each layer is connected into a whole by pre-embedded steel sleeves 22. Steel bars or shear rings are welded to the outside of the steel sleeves 22.

[0036] The layer structure 21 is either two-layered or three-layered.

[0043] Preferably, the bonding force between the steel sleeve 22 and the layer module 2 is increased by welding reinforcing bars or shear rings to the outside of the steel sleeve 22.

[0044] The technical effects achieved in this embodiment are as follows: The prefabricated layered slab-pile wave-damping structure provided in this embodiment arranges conventional closely spaced piles in a staggered manner into front and rear rows of piles with wing plates.

[0047] Preferably, the core concrete 5 should be reinforced.

[0048] Preferably, the pile foundation 1 extends deep into the mud surface of C-seabed, with the pile tip entering a good bearing layer, which increases the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile foundation 1 while effectively controlling settlement.
