Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipe jacking construction, in particular to a structure for reducing post-pipe jacking settlement in soft soil areas. Background Art

[0002] Pipe jacking is a common trenchless technology, often used for laying pipelines and cables. This technology has the advantages of small surface disturbance, low environmental impact, no traffic interference and high construction safety. It is suitable for crossing urban roads, river bottoms, and other areas where traditional excavation methods are difficult to use.

[0003] With the advancement of technology, pipe jacking has been widely used in various geological soil layers. However, there has been no good solution to the post-construction settlement problem of pipe jacking in soft soil areas. Due to the settlement and deformation of the soft strata below the pipe jacking, the pipe jacking is prone to joint leakage, cracking of pipe joints, local dislocation, etc., which seriously affect the later use of the pipe jacking. Therefore, a structure that can effectively reduce the post-construction settlement of pipe jacking in soft soil areas is very necessary. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems of the prior art, the present invention designs a structure for reducing post-construction settlement of pipe jacking in soft soil areas. The structure can determine the reinforcement range and depth according to the characteristics of the soil layer below the pipe jacking, and effectively reinforce the soft stratum below the pipe jacking through grouting reinforcement combined with a solution of strengthening the steel bar bundle, thereby greatly reducing the post-construction settlement of pipe jacking in soft soil areas.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A structure for reducing post-pipe jacking settlement, wherein reserved reinforcement holes are evenly arranged at the bottom of the jacking pipe; tie rods are inserted into the reserved reinforcement holes; reinforcing steel bar bundles are arranged between the reserved reinforcement holes and the tie rods; the gaps below the reserved reinforcement holes are filled with concrete; and the reserved reinforcement holes are sealed with sealing steel plates.

[0007] Furthermore, the reserved reinforcement hole is a circular hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0008] Furthermore, embedded parts should be provided on the sides of the reserved reinforcement holes to facilitate welding of the sealing steel plates and sleeves thereto.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the grouting reinforcement pipe should be smaller than the diameter of the lower circular hole of the reserved reinforcement hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the pull rod is composed of a slender rod and an enlarged end, wherein the cross section of the enlarged end is circular and the longitudinal section is T-shaped, and the diameter of the enlarged end should be smaller than the diameter of the lower circular hole of the reserved reinforcement hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforcing steel bar bundle consists of an upper sleeve and a lower steel bar.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the sleeve should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the lower circular hole of the reserved reinforcement hole, and the hollow inner diameter of the sleeve should be larger than the slender rod of the pull rod;

[0013] Furthermore, the steel bars are evenly arranged on the sleeve along a ring shape, and the two are connected by welding.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of steel bars on the single reinforcing steel bar bundle is recommended to be 4-8 and should not be too dense.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the steel bar should be cut into a bevel, and the bevel angle should be consistent with the bevel angle of the T-shaped longitudinal section of the enlarged end.

[0016] Furthermore, the embedded parts, blocking steel plates, sleeves and pull rods are all made of steel.

[0017] Correspondingly, the present solution also provides a method for reducing post-pipe jacking settlement in soft soil areas, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1: When making the jacking pipe segment, reserve reinforcement holes are evenly arranged at the bottom of the pipe segment;

[0019] S2: Before the pipe jacking operation, the reserved reinforcement holes are sealed with plugging steel plates;

[0020] S3: After the jacking operation is completed, the sealing steel plate is removed, and the grouting reinforcement pipe is inserted from the reserved reinforcement hole to reinforce the soil under the jacking pipe;

[0021] S4: After grouting is completed, pull out the grouting reinforcement pipe and insert the tie rod;

[0022] S5: insert the reinforcing steel bar bundle, and weld the sleeve on the upper part of the reinforcing steel bar bundle to the reserved reinforcement hole;

[0023] S6: Lift the tie rod upward, forcing the steel bars at the bottom of the reinforcing steel bar bundle to expand and deform outward under pressure;

[0024] S7: Cut off the tie rod and use grouting equipment to fill the gap below the reserved reinforcement hole;

[0025] S8: Use a plugging steel plate to seal the reserved reinforcement holes;

[0026] Furthermore, steps S4 to S7 should be completed after step S3 is implemented and before the grouting reinforcement slurry solidifies.

[0027] Furthermore, the number and spacing of the reserved reinforcement holes should be determined comprehensively based on the diameter of the jacking pipe section, the characteristics of the soil layer below the jacking pipe, etc.

[0028] Furthermore, the reinforcement depth of the grouting reinforcement pipe should be determined according to the characteristics of the soil layer below the top pipe.

[0029] Furthermore, the lengths of the steel bars and tie rods should be determined comprehensively based on the characteristics of the soil layer below the jacking pipe and the reinforcement range.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects are:

[0031] By evenly arranging reserved reinforcement holes at the bottom of the jacking pipe section and sealing the reserved reinforcement holes with plugging steel plates before the jacking operation, the reinforcement plan can be planned in advance before the construction. In this way, once the jacking pipe enters the ground, reinforcement measures can be taken quickly to effectively reduce the possibility of settlement.

[0032] By inserting grouting reinforcement pipes to reinforce the soil under the top pipe, the underground soil can be reinforced and the bearing capacity can be enhanced. At the same time, by inserting tie rods and reinforcing steel bar bundles, the soil around the top pipe can be further reinforced, and the tie rods can be lifted to force the steel bars to expand and deform outward under pressure, thereby increasing the connection and support between the soil and the top pipe, thereby reducing the possibility of settlement.

[0033] The reserved reinforcement holes are circular holes that are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and embedded parts are set on the sides so that sealing steel plates, sleeves, etc. can be easily welded and fixed to them, ensuring the reliability and stability of the reinforcement measures.

[0034] In this structure, the soft strata under the jacking pipe can be reinforced, effectively reducing the post-construction settlement of the jacking pipe in soft soil areas. Construction work can be carried out directly inside the jacking pipe without the need for an additional working surface, which has little impact on the surrounding environment. The reinforcement range and depth can be determined specifically according to the characteristics of the soil layer under the jacking pipe, and the project applicability is high.
