Description

Technical Field

[0002] An open caisson is a well structure made on the ground, which uses manual or mechanical means to remove the soil inside the well and sinks into the soil to a certain depth under its own weight. It has the characteristics of large overall stiffness, high bearing capacity, good stability, strong impermeability and excellent seismic performance, and is widely used in the construction field.

[0003] In the construction of the open caisson method, the sinking force of the open caisson mainly consists of the difference between its own weight, the tip resistance of the cutting edge, the side friction resistance and the buoyancy. Usually, the way of reducing the tip resistance of the cutting edge by excavating the soil under the cutting edge is adopted to make the open caisson passively sink under its own weight. During the sinking process of the open caisson, there are problems such as excessive side resistance of the open caisson wall resulting in slow sinking, non-sinking, and caisson body deviation.

[0004] When the local sinking of the open caisson is difficult or there is deviation, generally, the methods of reducing resistance or adding weight are used to assist sinking and correct deviation. The commonly used resistance reduction measures are slurry jackets, sand filling in the caisson wall, air curtain method, etc., which are mainly for resistance reduction and sinking assistance within the entire range of the caisson body. For local sinking assistance or sinking control, measures such as adding weight still need to be supplemented.

[0052] Step 3) During the caisson construction, when a local sinking of the caisson body 1 is difficult, inject water into the steel pipe 3 in the difficult - sinking section, and at the same time seal the upper ends of other steel pipes 3. The water outlet 31 of the steel pipe 3 sprays water, and the sprayed water flow reduces the side friction resistance received by the well wall 11. When the sinking coefficient is calculated to be greater than 1.0 through the stress monitoring system 4 monitoring and recording the frequency change of the steel bar stress gauge 2, stop the water supply to realize the sinking of the well body in the predetermined section.

[0053] In the utility model, a high-pressure water jet pipe (steel pipe 3) is annularly arranged on the outer side of the caisson wall 11, and a reinforcing bar stress gauge 2 is annularly arranged inside the well wall 11.
