Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of geotechnical engineering, and particularly relates to a support structure for a loess foundation pit. Background Technique

[0002] Due to its unique verticality, loess can maintain a steep slope or a free face close to 90° in its natural state, which is very beneficial for engineering applications. However, in the design of foundation pit support in loess areas, commonly used methods such as row piles, anchor bolts, and soil nailing walls do not fully utilize this vertical property of loess. Although these traditional support methods have a wide range of applications, they may not be optimized for the characteristics of loess, resulting in over-design of the support structure and waste of resources.

[0003] In addition, the construction process of traditional support structures often relies on large-scale mechanical equipment, which not only increases the complexity of construction but also requires a large operating space. In the current urban environment, due to the scarcity of land resources and limited construction sites, it is difficult for these large-scale machines to find enough space for activities near the foundation pit, thus bringing many inconveniences to construction. More disadvantageously, once the construction is completed and the foundation pit is backfilled, most of the support structures cannot be recycled and can only be permanently buried underground, which is not only a waste of resources but also poses potential environmental pollution problems and is not conducive to sustainable urban construction and the effective utilization of underground space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the utility model is to provide a support structure for a loess foundation pit, which is designed for a loess foundation pit and solves the technical problems of non-disassembly and non-recyclability of the existing support structure.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is that a support structure for a loess foundation pit is arranged in a loess foundation pit and includes:

The lengths of the two sides with bolt holes are the same as the length of the connector of the column assembly; the lengths of the two sides without bolt holes are the same as the distance between adjacent two columns.

[0013] Further, the cross beam and the column assembly are fixed through a column node; the column node is a special-shaped hexahedron welding structure. One side is an open structure, and the side corresponding to the open side is a limiting plate. The limiting plate is a rectangular plate member with an arch groove provided in the middle, and the shape of the arch groove is the same as the shape of the outer wall of the column;

The vertical part of the connecting plate extends outward from the column node along the bending part, and screw holes are provided on the vertical part of the connecting plate.

[0016] Further, the fixing block is a rubber buffer block. The bottom surface of the fixing block closely adheres to the side plate, and the top surface matches the outer wall contour of the support beam. Screw holes and matching fastening screws are provided on the side plate at the position of the fixing block.

[0017] Further, at the open end of the column node, the side plates, the connecting plates, and the fixing blocks are flush, and the length from the bending part of the connecting plate to the edge of the side plate is equal to or greater than the width of the cross beam.

[0018] Further, a transverse protrusion is provided on the horizontal part of the inner connecting plate of the column node.

Specific implementation manners

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] As Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a detachable loess foundation pit support structure, which mainly includes a column 5, a support beam 3, a cross beam 1, a support column 6, a column node 2, a support node 4, and a baffle 9.

[0034] As Figure 2 , in some possible implementation manners, the column 5 is assembled by a plurality of column components 501. The column component 501 is a circular column body, and two connecting bodies 502 are arranged on the outer wall. One side of the connecting body 502 is a plane, and a convex portion for limiting is arranged on the other side. The setting direction of the convex portion is the same as that of the column 5, the convex surface shape fits the side wall of the column 5, and screw holes are arranged on both sides of the convex portion; according to the position of the column 5, the position of the connecting body 502 on the column component 501 can be set to meet the installation angle of the column component 501.

[0035] In some specific implementation manners, the length of the connecting body 502 is less than the circular column body part of the column component 501, and it is arranged at the center position of the side wall of the column component 501; the columns 5 are fixed by the cross beam 1.

[0036] As Figure 3 , in some possible implementation manners, the cross beam 1 is an H-shaped steel or an I-shaped steel beam. One end is provided with a connection hole 101 with a circular or square cross section matching the side cross section of the column 5, and the other end is attached to the end with the connection hole 101. The thickness of the cross beam 1 is equal to the length difference between the connecting body 502 and the column component 501 of the column component 501, which is convenient for both ends of the column component 501 to be inserted into the connection hole 101 inside the cross beam 1.

[0037] AsFigure 4 , in some possible embodiments, a baffle 9 is further provided between adjacent columns 5. The baffle 9 is a rectangular steel plate with a thickness of 10 - 20 mm. Bolt holes matching the connecting body 502 of the column assembly 501 are opened on both sides. The lengths of the two sides with bolt holes are the same as the length of the connecting body 502 of the column assembly 501; the lengths of the two sides without bolt holes are the same as the distance between two adjacent columns 5.

[0038] Such as Figure 5 , 6 , in some specific embodiments, adjacent columns 5 are connected by a cross beam 1 and fixed by a column node 2. The column node 2 is a special-shaped hexahedron welding structure, one of its faces is an open structure, and the face opposite to the opening is a limiting plate 203. The limiting plate 203 is a rectangular plate member with an arch groove, and the shape of the arch groove matches the outer wall shape of the column 5 to effectively limit the column 5.

[0039] The column node 2 further includes two side plates 205, which are located on both sides of the limiting plate 203 where the arch groove is not provided. These two side plates 205 are also rectangular plate members, and a fixing block 204 is provided on the inner wall of each side plate 205 near the opening of the column node 2. In this embodiment, the fixing block 204 is an elastic rubber buffer block; as long as the fixing block 204 has elasticity, any similar structure belongs to the scope of disclosure of this embodiment. The bottom surface of the fixing block 204 is in close contact with the side plate 205, and the top surface fits the outer wall contour of the support beam 3. The side plate 205 is provided with a screw hole 901 and a matching fastening screw 201 at the position of the fixing block 204. When the fastening screw 201 is tightened, the support beam 3 can be effectively locked.

[0040] In addition, the column node 2 further includes two connecting plates 202, which are L-shaped. The horizontal part of the connecting plate 202 near the bending part is an open structure, and the shape of the open structure matches the outer wall shape of the column 5. The vertical part of the connecting plate 202 extends outward along the bending part. In some specific embodiments, the vertical part is provided with a screw hole 901, and the column node 2 can be fixed on the baffle 9 through screws.

[0041] In some possible embodiments, the side plates 205, the connecting plates 202, and the fixing blocks 204 are flush at the open end of the column node 2, and the length from the bending part of the connecting plate 202 to the edge of the side plate 205 is equal to or greater than the width of the cross beam 1, ensuring that the installation of the column node 2 can be smooth and unobstructed during the installation of the cross beam 1.

[0042] In some possible embodiments, a transverse protrusion is provided on the horizontal part of the inner connecting plate 202 of the column 5 section to increase the friction of the fixing block 204, making the fixation between the column node 2 and the support beam 3 more firm.

[0043] As Figure 1 , in some possible embodiments, the column 5 is arranged close to the edge of the loess foundation pit, the support column 6 is vertically arranged inside the foundation pit, the support beam 3 is horizontally arranged, both ends of the support beam 3 are inserted into the openings of the column node 2 and fixed by the fixing block 204, and the support column 6 and the support beam 3 are fixed by the support node 4.

[0044] As Figure 6 , in some specific embodiments, the support node 4 includes a tripod 401 and a U-shaped hoop 402. The vertical part of the tripod 401 is fixed on the support column 6, the U-shaped hoop 402 is arranged on the horizontal part, and the support beam 3 passes through the U-shaped hoop 402 and extends to the column node 2; the U-shaped hoop 402 fixes the support beam 3 on the tripod 401 by screws.

[0045] As Figure 1 , in some possible embodiments, a concrete cushion 8 is poured at the bottom of the foundation pit. The bottom ends of the column 5 and the support column 6 are wrapped with a plastic film 7 and inserted into the concrete cushion 8, which is convenient for directly extracting from the concrete cushion 8 when demolishing the support structure.

[0046] When the support structure in this embodiment is constructed and disassembled, before the backfill soil is carried out after the foundation pit excavation is completed, the bolts at each node are sequentially opened to remove each component for the next use of the foundation pit support.

[0047] Due to the self-standing property of the loess itself, traditional support structures usually need to set horizontal support measures inside the loess, such as soil nail walls or anchor bolts, etc. In this embodiment, a light steel structure is adopted, which can make full use of the natural self-standing performance of the loess and does not require additional support members to be driven into the loess, thus simplifying the construction process and improving the efficiency.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
