Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of civil engineering foundation reinforcement, and specifically relates to an offshore wind power high pile cap foundation with a microbial reinforcement function. Background Art

[0002] The high pile cap type wind turbine foundation structure is a foundation support type commonly used in the development of offshore wind power projects in my country. This type of foundation has a high bearing capacity, a strong ability to resist horizontal loads, a large structural rigidity and a small foundation settlement, and can adapt to various geological conditions. The high pile cap type wind turbine foundation has low requirements for construction equipment and is easy to build and construct.

[0003] Low-strength soil is widely distributed in offshore waters. The combined action of waves and currents causes the flow field near the offshore wind turbine pile foundation to change and form a hydraulic vortex. The above situation causes the soil particles in the local area near the structure to be eroded by the water flow, causing local scouring of the shallow soil of the seabed. The reduction of the bearing capacity of the pile foundation caused by the scouring action leads to a reduction in effective stress and bearing capacity, an increase in the bending moment, stress and lateral deformation of the pile, and the suspension of the submarine cable. Anti-scouring protection measures are used in engineering to avoid surface losses of the seabed. Common measures include riprap protection, sand blanket protection and solidified soil protection. However, riprap protection and sand blanket protection are prone to loss in sea areas with high current velocity, forming secondary scouring. Solidified soil protection is mainly divided into mechanical compaction, chemical grouting and biological reinforcement. Mechanical compaction uses large-scale compaction machinery, which has large energy loss and is easy to cause soil disturbance and affect the soil in the surrounding space. Most of the artificial synthetic materials of chemical grouting are toxic and pose a threat to the natural environment and human health. Microbial reinforcement is a new type of environmentally friendly and cost-effective technology used in foundation treatment to achieve sustainable development.

[0004] Microbial reinforcement technology is to add bacterial liquid, urea and CaCl2 nutrient solution (collectively referred to as cementing solution) into soft soil. Through biochemical reactions, calcium carbonate crystals are generated and deposited. A certain amount of calcite will be generated in the gaps between sand particles, connecting the originally loose sand together, enhancing the mechanical properties and integrity of the sand, and thus playing a role in strengthening the foundation.

[0005] However, there is no corresponding research and report on cementing fluid transportation. Utility Model Content
