[0016] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present utility model, the preferred implementation scheme of the present utility model is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent elements with the same or similar functions. However, it should be understood that the accompanying drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on the present utility model. In order to better illustrate the present embodiment, some parts of the accompanying drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the accompanying drawings may be omitted, and the positional relationship described in the accompanying drawings is only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limitations on the present utility model.
[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0018] The utility model provides a roadbed structure suitable for above a subway tunnel in a soft soil layer, comprising a box-type foundation 1 whose lower part is located below a ground line 10, a medium-coarse sand layer 2 is provided on the box-type foundation 1, an EPS layer 4 is provided on the medium-coarse sand layer 2, metal pins 3 are pre-buried in the upper part of the box-type foundation 1, the upper ends of the metal pins 3 pass through the medium-coarse sand layer 2 and are inserted into the EPS layer, retaining walls 9 are provided around the medium-coarse sand layer 2 and the EPS layer 4, a pavement structure 7 is laid on the EPS layer 4, and the side surfaces of the pavement structure 7 are adjacent to and fixed to the retaining wall 9.
[0019] In this embodiment, the mud volume of the medium-coarse sand layer 2 is not more than 3%, and the thickness is required to be uniform, the surface is flat, and the top surface flatness thickness error is ±10mm;
[0020] The size of the EPS block is 300cm×124cm×63cm, and the bulk density is 35KG / m³; the material of the EPS block must meet the requirements of 10% strain compressive strength of not less than 110kpa, flexural strength of not less than 150kpa, compression modulus of not less than 3.5Mpa, and 7d volume water absorption rate of not more than 1.5%; the material of the EPS block should also have self-extinguishing properties when burning;
[0021] When laying EPS blocks, they can be laid from left to right, with the upper and lower adjacent EPS blocks staggered by half a block width. If the last block is of irregular size, the width of the irregular size block must not be less than 25cm.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom plate 11 of the box foundation 1 extends outward compared to the box body 12, exceeding the width of the pavement structure 7 and the retaining wall 9. By setting the box foundation 1 as a part of the roadbed structure, the additional load of the roadbed structure above the subway tunnel is reduced, and the groundwater is prevented from directly acting on the EPS layer 4, which plays a role in avoiding excessive settlement and deformation of the subway tunnel, reducing investment and ensuring the stability of the EPS layer roadbed structure. The bottom plate 11 of the box foundation 1 extends outward to resist the rise of groundwater level and avoid the adverse effect of the roadbed floating during flood disasters, which plays a role in ensuring the overall stability and safety of the roadbed and ensuring driving comfort. The retaining wall 9 above the box foundation 1 is flush with the outside of its box body 12.
[0023] A drainage pipe 8 is pre-buried in the lower part of the retaining wall 9 , one end of the drainage pipe 8 is connected to the outside, and the other end of the drainage pipe 8 is connected to the medium-coarse sand layer 2 .
[0024] The drainage pipe 8 in this embodiment is a UPVC pipe with a diameter of 5 cm, and the pipe mouth is flush with the inside of the retaining wall 9. If the control elevation is lower than the original ground elevation, the drainage pipe 8 can be connected to the existing rainwater inspection well.
[0025] A reinforced concrete slab 6 is cast between the pavement structure 7 and the EPS layer 4 .
[0026] The EPS layer 4 is composed of a plurality of EPS blocks.
[0027] The upper and lower adjacent EPS blocks are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0028] A claw-type metal connecting piece 5 is fixed between two adjacent EPS blocks.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the metal pin 3 is only inserted into the lowest EPS block in the EPS layer, wherein a metal pin 3 is inserted into each of the two ends of each EPS block.
[0030] A claw-shaped metal connecting piece 5 is fixed between the reinforced concrete slab 6 and the EPS layer 4 therebelow.
[0031] The bottom surface of the box foundation 1 is a horizontal plane, and the top surface of the box foundation 1 is consistent with the longitudinal and transverse slopes of the pavement structure 7. The pavement structure 7 is symmetrical about the center line of the designed road and slopes down from the middle to both sides.
[0032] Before implementing the planned road subgrade backfill project above the subway tunnel in soft soil, it is necessary to evaluate the current status of the subway tunnel and the impact of the subgrade backfill project above it on the subway tunnel, and propose deformation control standards for the impact of the subgrade backfill construction on the subway tunnel. According to the deformation direction and deformation size of the subway tunnel obtained by the assessment, combined with the geology of the subway tunnel, the surrounding environment, the design and construction plan of the planned road, etc., determine scientific and reasonable subgrade backfill steps.
[0033] The utility model is suitable for the construction steps of a roadbed structure above a subway tunnel in soft soil layer as follows:
[0034] Surrounding environment survey → cleaning of surface soil → construction of box foundation 1 and retaining wall 9 → backfilling of medium-coarse sand layer 2 → installation of EPS layer 4 → construction of reinforced concrete slab 6 → construction of pavement structure 7; the specific steps are:
[0035] 1) Surrounding environment survey: clarify the engineering geology, existing structures and surrounding environment. Existing structures refer to the existing subway tunnels nearby (including the location, structure size, burial depth and existing deformation of the subway tunnels). The surrounding environment refers to the topography, existing pipelines (if any) and existing buildings (if any) around the proposed site of the subway tunnel.
[0036] 2) Surface cleaning: After the surrounding environment survey is completed, the construction enclosure is built, and the vegetation and loose soil on the ground inside the enclosure are removed. After the surface is cleaned, mechanical compaction and site leveling are used; after the surface is cleaned, a ground line 10 appears.
[0037] 3) Construct box foundation 1 and side retaining wall 9: Excavate the box foundation 1. After excavating to the design elevation, construct box foundation 1 at 0.5~1m (above the groundwater level). The bottom surface of the box foundation should exceed the backfill width of the ground roadbed. The bottom plate of the box foundation 1 has no slope, and the longitudinal and transverse slopes of the top plate are consistent with the pavement structure. Before pouring the concrete of the top plate of the box foundation 1, metal pins 3 should be embedded as required by the design. After the strength of the top plate of the box foundation 1 reaches the design requirements, continue to construct the retaining wall 9. Before pouring the concrete of the retaining wall 9, the drainage pipe 8 should be embedded as required by the design.
[0038] 4) Backfilling the medium-coarse sand layer 2: After the strength of the box foundation and the retaining wall reaches the design requirements, a medium-coarse sand layer 2 with a thickness of 20 cm is laid on the inner side of the retaining wall 9 for leveling and drainage.
[0039] 5) Install EPS layer 4: The bottom EPS block is fixed on the metal pin 3. At the same time, the adjacent EPS blocks are fixed with claw-type metal connectors 5; EPS blocks are laid in a staggered manner, and when cutting is required, electric heating wire should be used for cutting. When there are gaps and height differences between blocks, and when there are gaps between blocks and structures, cement mortar should be used for leveling and filling;
[0040] 6) Construction of reinforced concrete slab: A layer of cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab 6 with a thickness of 18 cm is constructed on the top of the EPS block layer; the reinforced concrete slab adopts C30 concrete, and a layer of steel mesh is set at the bottom of the slab. The steel bar specifications and mesh size are determined according to the design requirements;
[0041] 7) Construction of pavement structure: After the strength of the reinforced concrete slab meets the requirements, the pavement structure layer 7 is constructed.
[0042] It should be noted that the excavation of the box foundation should be carried out away from the rainy season, and water interception and drainage facilities should be prepared around the site before excavation and clearing. In addition, the green belt within the filling range of EPS layer 4 is limited by the thickness of the soil layer, and the tree species should be adjusted accordingly in the greening design.
