Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering support technology, specifically relating to a prefabricated self-preloaded dock support system and its construction method, which can be applied to the internal support construction of foundation pit projects such as dry docks. Background Technology
[0002] In dry dock excavation and water area foundation pit engineering, due to the complex hydrogeological environment and significant water pressure variations, high lateral earth pressure and unstable hydrodynamic effects are often present. To ensure the safety of foundation pit excavation and structural stability, temporary support structures are usually required to maintain the equilibrium of the pit walls and the overall structural rigidity. Especially in the dock area, due to its confined space, restricted passage, and highly integrated construction process, higher requirements are placed on the layout accuracy, load-bearing capacity, and ease of installation of the support system.
[0003] Existing support systems primarily consist of steel structures, assembled on-site using welding and other methods. This traditional approach not only involves long construction periods and high labor intensity but also suffers from low installation efficiency and poor component adaptability due to limitations imposed by on-site conditions. Furthermore, the extensive reliance on manual positioning and mechanical coordination during construction increases both costs and safety risks. More seriously, current support structures are often designed for single-use, making them difficult to recycle or reuse after dismantling. A large number of structural components become construction waste due to the lack of standardized interfaces and dismantling mechanisms, resulting in steel waste and resource loss, which contradicts current green building and sustainable development principles.
[0004] Furthermore, during the loading and use phases, traditional support systems rely heavily on manually operated hydraulic jacks to apply prestress. This method not only suffers from low adjustment precision and high labor intensity for construction workers, but also often lacks the ability to dynamically monitor the prestress state, making it prone to structural instability due to overloading or relaxation. In the event of sudden load changes or excessive support deformation, existing systems cannot promptly identify and warn of such anomalies, potentially leading to major safety accidents such as collapse and structural damage.
[0005] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of prefabricated dock support system and its construction method that features high structural modularity, rapid on-site assembly, disassembly and recycling, and intelligent prestress control and real-time monitoring functions. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a self-prestressed dock support system and its construction method, applicable to the internal support construction of deep foundation pits or dry docks. It features standardized structure, intelligent prestress control, and reusability, significantly improving construction efficiency and operational safety of the support system.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a self-preloaded dock support system, comprising supports, lattice columns, steel walers, and steel pipe main supports;
[0008] The support, serving as the main support structure for the dock entrance, applies and controls prestress through intelligent pressure-pressurizing nodes. The support includes concrete supports and steel supports. The two ends of the main steel pipe support are securely connected to the steel walers via column base devices, and the mid-span is supported by steel waler support brackets mounted on lattice columns. The dock entrance support system is a prefabricated assembly structure; the main steel pipe support, steel walers, and lattice columns are bolted together, allowing for multiple disassembly and reuse of components. The overall support system has a frame-like shape. The steel walers are arranged horizontally along the steel pipe pile wall and layer by layer according to the preset support height. The steel walers are used to connect adjacent steel pipe main supports laterally and also serve as support brackets for the steel pipe main supports on the lattice columns. The lattice columns are used for vertical connection and support, and their lower parts are combined with the cast-in-place piles in the foundation pit. Steel plate supports are arranged at the corners of the dock entrance. A railing is arranged on the top of the steel pipe pile wall. Multiple support units can be arranged in multiple layers, and the support units are connected to each other through steel walers and lattice columns to achieve overall deformation coordination. Preferably, the steel pipe main supports can be made of high-strength steel pipes with a diameter of 609mm and a wall thickness of 16mm.
[0009] The main steel pipe support is equipped with flanges at both ends, and the flanges of adjacent main steel pipe supports are connected by bolts; one end of the main steel pipe support is a fixed end, and the other end is a movable end, with the middle section configured using standard pipe sections; the intelligent pressurization node is connected to the movable end of the main steel pipe support by bolts.
[0010] The outer steel walers are arranged horizontally along the steel pipe pile wall. Triangular steel brackets are installed below the steel walers for support, and iron hooks are welded at intervals along the steel pipe pile wall above. The iron hooks are connected to the steel walers by turnbuckles. The steel walers, which serve as the main support for the steel pipes, are arranged layer by layer according to the preset support height and are fixed to the main support of the steel pipes by stiffening ribs.
[0011] The intelligent pressurization node includes a pair of sliding supports set on both sides of the main steel pipe support and an automatic prestressing system integrated in the middle. The intelligent pressurization node is covered with a protective steel plate.
[0012] The sliding support includes a steel plate shell, a limiting device, a sliding guide rod, and bolted connecting plates at both ends. The sliding support achieves axial expansion and contraction adjustment within the steel plate shell through the sliding guide rod and the limiting device. One end of the sliding support is connected to the main steel pipe support through the bolted connecting plate, and the bottom of the sliding guide rod at the other end is provided with stiffening ribs, which are connected to the steel waler through the bolted connecting plate, thus forming a sliding and lockable movable support mechanism.
[0013] The automatic prestressing system includes a hydraulic module consisting of an oil pump, a hydraulic tank, a hydraulic cylinder and a piston rod; an intelligent control unit integrating a PLC control unit, a data acquisition system and a data processing system; and a stress sensing system using a pressure sensor as the main body, which is used to apply prestress to the support according to design requirements and monitor the axial force in real time.
[0014] One end of the automatic prestressing system is connected to the main steel pipe support via a bolt connector, and the other end is connected to the steel waler via bolts to fix the pressure sensor to the bottom of the piston rod. The automatic prestressing system supports remote automatic application and adjustment of prestress, and has real-time axial force monitoring, over-limit alarm and automatic unloading functions, which can realize dynamic safety control during construction or operation.

[0092] Example 2:
[0093] This invention uses the Nansha Pearl Bay Area Cross-River Tunnel Project (Phase I) as a specific example to further illustrate the structure and construction method of this invention.
[0094] The construction site of this dry dock project requires temporary supports to be installed on the south side of the dry dock to support the retaining structure. According to the present invention, the following support structure is designed and implemented: a cast-in-place concrete support (cap beam) with a cross-section of 1000mm × 1000mm is constructed on the upper part of the dry dock retaining structure, using C30 concrete. The top surface of the concrete support is at an elevation of +8.50m (relative to the site elevation), serving as the first layer of support.
[0095] Three steel supports (2-2) are installed sequentially below the concrete supports: the center elevation of the second support is +1.40m, the center elevation of the third support is -6.20m, and the center elevation of the fourth support is -11.00m (corresponding to the design elevations of the water surface and the ground on site). The main steel pipe support (9) of each steel support (2-2) is spliced from steel pipe sections with a diameter of 609mm and a wall thickness of 16mm, and the ends are welded with prefabricated steel brackets. The steel walers are arranged circumferentially along the retaining wall using double-splitting 63A type I-beams. The waler sections are connected by bolts and the walers are connected to the brackets by bolts, and the gaps are filled with fine stone concrete to smooth the surface and ensure uniform stress distribution.
[0096] During installation, prefabricated steel brackets are first welded to the main reinforcement bars of the steel cage inside the diaphragm wall on the soil. Then, the entire steel pipe support is hoisted into place. After aligning the bracket support at the support end with the corresponding waler section, bolts are used for fastening. After the support is installed, fall protection wire ropes are installed, and the gaps between the bracket and the waler are filled with concrete or mortar. The installation of the second, third, and fourth steel supports is completed in sequence, forming a three-tiered support system with height-graded steel pipe supports.
[0097] After the supports are installed, the automatic prestressing system is activated, using hydraulic modules to apply prestress to the three steel supports (2-2). Each support is equipped with two 1000kN hydraulic modules, and the control system has a preset loading program to control the synchronous pumping of oil by each hydraulic module. The data acquisition system collects axial pressure data in real time, and the intelligent control unit adjusts the cylinder input based on feedback to ensure synchronous loading. During tensioning, axial force is applied in stages; for example, the fourth support is first brought to the design force value, and then the third and second supports are applied simultaneously until all supports reach the design prestress. After tensioning, all bracket pins and other connection nodes are checked again, and any loosening is reinforced in time. Finally, high-grade cement mortar is injected into all bracket gaps for sealing.
[0098] After installing the supports and applying prestress, dry dock construction begins. Once construction is complete, the supports can be dismantled step-by-step in a reverse loading / unloading sequence: first, water is injected in sections to lower the water level to approximately 0.5m below the bottom of the second support; then, the fourth steel pipe support is dismantled from bottom to top. Water is then pumped to 50cm above the bottom of the third support, at which point the third steel pipe support is dismantled. The water level is then raised to 50cm above the bottom of the second support, at which point the second steel pipe support is dismantled. Finally, when the water level rises to between +3.43m and +5.46m, the first concrete support and the capping beam are dismantled. During dismantling, jacks are used to gradually release the prestress of each support to zero, followed by manual removal of bolts and dismantling of the supports. All dismantled components are categorized and stacked according to their original numbers. After inspection, cleaning, and repair, they can be reused in subsequent projects.
[0099] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
