Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of port and coastal engineering technology, and more specifically to a beamless lightweight outfitting wharf structure and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] Outfitting wharves are wharves used for the installation of machinery, instruments, devices, and facilities for ship repair and construction; they are an important component of shipyards. High-pile wharves are a type of wharf structure primarily built on soft soil foundations. They are a common structural form used in port engineering for outfitting wharves. Rock-embedded piles can also be used in rock foundations. Their working characteristic is that the load acting on the wharf is transferred to the foundation through the pile foundation. They are lightweight and have good wave-damping effects.
[0003] In recent years, with the booming global shipbuilding market, shipyards have experienced significant business growth, leading to increased demands on infrastructure. Whether it's new shipyards or expansions of existing facilities, outfitting wharves are being built in greater numbers, placing higher demands on their structural quality. High-pile beam-slab wharves, typically composed of pile foundations, pile caps, crossbeams, longitudinal beams, and decking, usually employ a combination of cast-in-place and precast structures. Construction on water is easily affected by wind, waves, currents, and tides, limiting construction opportunities. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on wharf structural design, necessitating lighter structures, fewer construction steps, and compliance with high efficiency, energy conservation, green practices, and environmental protection standards.
[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN211815986U (publication date: October 30, 2020) discloses a high-pile, beamless wharf structure, comprising: multiple pile foundations driven into the seabed along the wharf shore; multiple precast pile caps fitted onto the top of the pile foundations to facilitate support for the upper structure; multiple precast wing plates, with both ends or four sides of the wing plates inclined downwards, and the corners of the wing plates resting on adjacent precast pile caps; and a cast-in-place surface layer located on top of the precast wing plates. The precast wing plates and pile foundations are fixedly connected to the cast-in-place surface layer. This utility model makes extensive use of lightweight precast components, resulting in fast construction speed. The amount of water-based pouring is small, and the project cost is low. The precast wing plates serve as bottom formwork, saving a lot of formwork materials. It effectively solves the problem of high requirements for construction machinery due to the weight of the panel. The portion of the cast-in-place surface layer located at the pile foundation improves the performance of bearing continuous concentrated loads, which can meet the berthing requirements of large ships with a capacity of 50,000 DWT or more. It is especially suitable for earthquake-prone areas, improving the applicability of the wharf.
[0005] Chinese utility model patent CN203834422U (publication date: December 4, 2018) discloses a novel high-pile wharf, including a high-pile platform, pile foundation, and a connecting structure connected to the storage yard behind the wharf. The connecting structure comprises a concrete frame and several wall piles, which are fixedly connected to the concrete frame. A cast-in-place concrete cap beam and breast wall are placed on top of the concrete frame, forming an integral wall pile frame connecting structure. This wall pile frame connecting structure is connected to the high-pile platform. This utility model uses a wall pile frame connecting structure, eliminating the need for foundation treatment. The wall pile frame connecting structure has high rigidity and stability, capable of withstanding large horizontal loads, eliminating the impact of lateral displacement of backfill soil on the wharf structure caused by factors such as rapid loading speed at the rear, which is present in traditional high-pile wharf types. It also reduces the impact of uneven settlement of soft soil foundations, lateral deformation of backfill soil, slope sliding, and seismic loads on the wharf's pile platform structure.
[0006] In existing technologies, high-pile wharves solve the problems of high self-weight and weak load-bearing capacity of traditional beamless slab wharves by forming a beam effect through the overlapping of precast wing plates and pile caps and the local thickening of the cast-in-place surface layer. However, beamless slab wharves still have the problem of not being able to berth larger ships and adapt to larger superstructure loads. By using a wall pile frame shore connection structure to replace the traditional retaining wall, the problems of poor wharf stability and the need for foundation treatment caused by the weak load-bearing capacity of the shore connection structure are solved. However, the problem of traditional high-pile wharves being easily affected by tides and having limited construction windows is still not solved. Summary of the Invention
